Hi all
I came into rehab 11 days ago after a 4 month wait to get in here which followed a 4 week stay on a psychiatric ward. I've been struggling, trying to quit drinking since June 2013. I could stop, but I couldn't stay stopped. My drinking has taken me to the depths of despair and beyond. I'm extremely grateful to be here and I'm praying to my Higher Power that this works for me. I'm turning my will and my life over to God. My way doesn't work for me. At the moment I am practicing admitting that I am powerless over alcohol and that my life has become unmanageable. Step 1. I have been putting pen to paper and I have written down many accounts of my experiences which demonstrate my powerlessness and unmanagability. It's harrowing reading but I think it's working. Yay!!!
It's great to be here and it's great to be sober 😀
Good luck everyone x
