Just wondering what gave you that extra bit of strength that gave you that prolonged period of obstainment, what was it that gave you strength?
You're not stupid. You're doing what addicts do. You're a good person with a bad disease. For me when i hit my bottom it was simple. The drugs and booze quit working. I could no longer hide my misery. It was give up or give in. I surrendered all control and asked for help and listened without biased. There is no greater thing than listening to someone who's been there.
