When you leave the pills behind you will most likely feel those original lost feelings which is why you need to IMMEDITELY get some local support meetings AA or NA or a great therapist. I hope I dont sound preachy i dont mean to but I dont want you to fall back again>
you need to get to the root of those feelings so you can rid yourself of them permanently and experience the joy and self-love and self-acceptance that you deserve.
if thats what it takes, thats what ill do, and thanks. its gonna be difficult getting to an n/a meeting, for im in a very small town where one isnt available. thats one reason i found this site. i really didnt want to sound like a baby, but thats the way i was, a person with no determination/ happyness. after thinking alot about it, this would be a main reason if i were to relapse to the way i was. i am determind, and think i need to find a councelor with my life struggles. thanks, and keep in touch everybody.
