I start treatment Thurs. I am nervous.
You shouldn't be sad. This is a new beginning. And the only person that matters really is yourself right now. Not being selfish. But you come first as far your getting sober. People are gonna disappoint your whole life. Don't let that get you. Try not disappointing yourself.
Good luck tomorrow. See you on the otherside. You can do it.

Carol I am just up the road from you, Frederickburg, I know there are some great folks down your way to help you out in addition to all of us here, just keep in mind it is all about today!
jodiD I know that feeling, the night before I went into detox I was scared to death..... I wondered what in the world I was going to do with myself sober! I mean all I could think about was how boring life would be with out drinking!
What I have found out is that in reality drinking was boring, thinking back on it all I was doing was drinking and thinking about I am going to do this one day or I am going to do that! All I did was drink and talk about what I was going to do, I did not do crap for years except talk about what I was going to do.
Well suddenly because I wasn't drinking I found myself doing all those things I talked about doing but never did because I was to busy drinking!
Do not get me wrong, going from drunk to sober is not a 4 or 5 day thing, it takes time, but slowly every thing gets better, you will find yourself doing things you used to just talk about!
I did not become a drunk over night, it took me years!!! How in the world did I think I was going to become sober over night.
I will say this, I was physically born 53 years ago, but my life began anew 6 months ago, my spirit had been dead for years before that and I did not even know it until I got really sober!
