Every single person here has felt this way Theresa - but this site is full of
people who have refused to listen to those kinds of thoughts and self-lies and turned their lives around.
That would be me (in bold). I thought I was hopeless and was just going to drink myself to death, so what? I hated my life. Now I quite enjoy it and can deal a lot better with problems, instead of just hiding from them in a bottle...
My counselor and my loving friends here were always at me to try again.
So I didn't give up. And whaddaya know? I'm coming up on 21 months sober -
happy months, for the most part.
I'm glad I ignored those voices. I hardly ever hear them anymore, and when they do rear their ugly heads I just ignore them to death.
