Trying to stay Strong
Posted 01-24-2008 at 05:59 PM by aret
Sober, for only four days. Sobriety that probably would not have happened had I not had that horrible accident on Sunday night. Falling, I fell, into the bath tub, on the concrete, up the stairs. To the er I went, begging my girlfriend on her voicemail to come home, hoping she would feel her phone in her pocket as she was working. Thankfully she did, thankfully my neighbor called the ambulance or who knows would have happened to me. I luckily got off with multiple bruises and an eye the size of an egg, very sore none the less. Scary! How could I do this to myself, to her? It is hard to look in the mirror without crying! I knew that I had the potential to be an alcoholic but didn't think that it had escalated that far. I don't want to drink anymore I said, sitting here now, in so much pain, why then am I finding it so hard to not want a drink, to not have a drink? Trying to stay strong, maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I was? I don't know how I did this to myself, I don't want this to happen again. Stay strong, stay strong![/FONT]

Stay strong! You can do it! We can do it! I know how you feel. I once drank an entire bottle of vodka and woke up to doctors mumurring, "we're going to sew your lip up now". I had two black eyes, a busted nose and I tore my lip. How? I don't know to this day. I took a picture of myself and now I cannot bare to look at it. It serves as a reminder to me to not go back.
Keep hope alive, I believe in you! Peace and love~GabrielPosted 10-05-2011 at 09:22 PM by Gabriel
