Yes, I must remember withdrawl is only temporary. It's worth a few days of discomfort to get sober. Being clean is much better than this dark pit I'm in now. My life was improving and now I'm right back where I was a year ago. Actually, it's worse now, because I may lose my job too.
It's nice knowing there is help if I need it. If there are no meetings nearby or no one answers the phone, I can come here. When all else fails, my Higher Power will give me the strength to make it. All I have to do is ask.
I've done it before and can do it again. Today is the day. I'm even putting tomorrow's date in my profile as my sobriety date. There are a few more chores to do, then I will catch up on some much needed rest.
Goodnight
