Bigtime Relapse - Detox - AA - Here..
 

Hello SR friends, For those who remember me its been awhile since I last posted here. I've been through quite a bit since then.

I more or less when on a 2 1/2 month bender drinking morning till night.

My girlfriend had enough and moved out of our place leaving me with pretty much nothing - which was understandable..I don't blame her. This left me with no one to bug me about drinking, which only increased the drinking.

The last month of this bender I was in and out of the Hospital 3 times. Last of which I was diagnosed with Gastritis/Withdrawl(thought it was another Pancreatitis attack) and referred to a local Detox.

Ill spare you the details leading up to Detox, but it was complete Hell ''maintenance drinking'' on the waiting list for Detox..my goodness. I don't remember how I got there or checking in. I made it though. Was there for 10 days and the support I received was unbelievable.

After checking out I went to 2 AA meetings that night. Been going to them everyday since. Yesterday I got my 1 month chip..and things are slowly getting better. My Girlfriend has started to talk to me again and I'm going to see a number of Specialists by the end of the month.

I haven't prayed this much since I was a little kid..

I believe everything happens for a reason..God has a plan for me..or else I woulda been gone along time ago.

I cannot do this alone..I tried and ended right back in the hospital. Doing it my way will probably kill me. I'm only 33, I can still make things right.

Anyways, i'm happy to be back! Missed this Place..

I wish I would have stopped drinking when I was 33! You have a lot of sober living ahead of you.

I got sober at age 33. It's a lucky number. Glad you are with us again.

I was 33 when I got sober too!!

����. Welcome Home Maxx! I do remember you from awile back. I don't write very often, but I do read, it helps keep me in my recovery. I like that you are getting help, I personally went to De-tox, then in patient Rehab, followed by AA Meetings and being active in the Program. A big hug to you, I'll be reading and sending positive thoughts your way

I'm sorry to read all that Maxx but I'm glad you made it back :)

I guess if there's any positive to pull from this, there can't be any more doubt in your mind about what you are?

Keep on trucking Maxx, we're all behind you!! Life get so much better every day sober..Best wishes to you.

Welcome back, and congrats on 30 days!

VERY nice OP Max. It sounds hopeful, like things might slowly get better in a permanent sort of way. Don't ever forget where you've been. Good to see you made it back.

All the best to you.

Welcome back my friend. It may sound a little contrived but honestly, asking God for a sober day and thanking God when you have one are 2 of the best things you can do for yourself right now. Keep coming back, you never have to go through this again.
