3rd Time is the charm?
For all needing encouragement after relapse - I'm hard core, 100 proof drunk. In recovery for 4 months now. Yes, it's freakin hard but if I can do it.... Quit at a rehab facility years about 8 years ago. Stayed sober for a long time but relapsed when thing were going well for me.
Ended up in hospital emergency ward. Almost died. Told them I drank and it saved my life. Got sober there and (again) started drinking when life was good for me. Got sick again! 10 days in hospital where they detoxed me while treating me for COPD, pneumonia and a few other nasty things.
I can now say I can not imagine every drinking or smoking again.
God bless us all
