Stop trying and start doing.

Put all of your effort into getting sober and you will. You know you can and you know you haven't.

You are worth it Chiy. We care... prove it to yourself by getting well .

Chi...you have people here who love you, even when you can't love yourself. Please, accept the advice of your Grams. Go to medical detox and long term rehab. Even if you don't think you are worth it, Grams does and we do too. Miss you in chat, sweetie. Please, get better.

Chi- please listen to grams and seek an inpatient program. With the proper treatment you never have to feel like this again. It is in my opinion as well that you do care, as do I, about you.
It is heartbreaking to hear what you are going through.
You are in my prayers.

It doesnt feel like life or death to me. Or maybe I dont care enough about life to see that it is.
I really do not feel like I am dieing. But I dont feel like I am living either.
I care but I dont.
I am just very numb right now. But I do know what I should do.
Saturday I am going to treatment and am going to follow through all the way til the end.
28 days treatment. Who knows how long sober living and so on. If it takes a year in programs then so be it.
I make myself sick right now. I hate myself and see no reason in myself to want to try.
But I will make an effort because thats what is expected of me.
Maybe I will snap out of it along the way and find it in me to care about myself. Something I dont think I have ever truely doen. Care about myself. Being selfish and caring about yourself are two very different things. I have spent my whole life being selfish but hating myself the whole time.
Anyway. Thank you all of you for caring.
I hope one day I can see whta you all see.

Good luck to you my friend.....
My biggest battle was not drugs it was my eating disorder.
No one could do it for me, I had to do it for myself. I had
been in treatment, therapy, etc. many times, but still I was
always back in the same boat sooner or later.
I ended up going away, for the first time in my life I was 'selfish'
and took care of myself before anyone else. I went to a different state,
and cared what no one thought. It was all about me, I didn't even want
to see anyone because then my judgements, thoughts, etc. could never be
about me.
I hope you find the strength in yourself to do what you need to do to save yourself. I came out a different person, the person I knew I was and everyone else knew I was, the girl who had been in hiding for so many years, she had finally returned. We have more strength, more power inside us than we can imagine, but we have to let ourselves be in a place to find that again. I really hope you do whatever it takes, we only get so many chances.... Good luck to you....

Hooray for you Chiynita

Treatment can be a terrific environment if it is what you want. If you are willing and want it, treatment can be a great first step. Not all will be positive, but you can make it positive and establish relationships that you can carry with you.

Get healthy, get out of the familiar environment that assists you in being sick and afraid. We will be here when you return. And then you will help us.

(((Trish)))

I'm so glad you are going into treatment. I know you don't see what others see in you, but it's there. I understand the numb feeling. For me, I think it was my mind's way of protecting myself from the overwhelming hatred of myself. The self-hatred made me close to suicidal, and I guess HP helped me out by letting me be numb instead...until I could deal with things with a clearer head.

We love you, and care about you. Do whatever it takes, okay, and remember, you aren't alone. We can't be there physically, but it doesn't mean we aren't right there by your side.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

Maybe you think you're the only one who ever felt like this Trish...believe me you ain't.
most of us in recovery took that leap of faith and sought help.

I gotta go with Gyps - stop thinking, start doin'.
Nothing sticks in my craw more than an apathetic self-pitying addict.

You have so much to offer - start offering, Trish.
Get better.
You'll see what we see - I promise.

Love you

Chi. I have asked a good friend of mine to send his champion warrior along with you on Saturday. The fellow with you will be the prince of Angels, St. Michael. He is as tough as they come. He has stood face to face with satan himself. He is God's chosen one!!

Have no fear of what you about to embark upon. You will be well guarded.

Peace be with you.
