Hi, i'm very new here and these forums are getting me through the day when i am at work and can't get to a meeting until later.
I have 6 days today.
Right now, everything seems so huge; i'm going through a painful detox, physically but also mentally and emotionally. I am in a relationship with an alcoholic who is not ready for recovery, and may never be.
So, right now i am working on just taking things one hour at a time, and going to meetings and staying sober; in other words, concentrating on my own recovery even if that means i don't see my boyfriend and many of my friends.
In other words, trying not to be a "codie".
I'm working on putting my recovery above EVERYTHING and EVERYONE else.
