| Hi, I want to introduce myself. My name is mtnmagic and I have 21 days today. I've been in contact with some of you on this board and it has been a real life saver to me. I have been up and down and all around these last three weeks. Negative Man has been so helpful to me (as others) and I am so grateful to have this board for help and support.
I work the swing shift and live in the Pacific Time Zone. This means that I am usually around trudging these threads late at night after most of you are asleep. I know if I hang in there, trudging may turn into "happily skipping through" once in awhile.
The last two days I have been just wickedly sad and depressed for no real reason. NM, barb dwyer, splashy and a few others have kept in constant contact with me. It really keeps me going. Just a post, a few words of encouragement. It makes all the difference in the world.
I knew if I just hung on, didn't listen to that voice that told me, "One glass of wine won't hurt you. You'll relax!" that I could get through the sadness and depression.
Well, it worked...I found myself actually laughing tonight at work. Big sigh of relief for me.
I hope to get to know all of you better on this thread.
A little about me. I'm in very early recovery from alcoholism. I'm a codie also. My exhusband is a recovering alcoholic. I have two sons. One completely caught up in the addiction of pain meds. One is in his freshman year in college (so far signs point to normal..but with my family history who knows.)
Thanks for reading my post. |
