Today is 2 months solid no drinks no benzos. Longest stretch yet. After a few very small bumps in the road way back there in November and December. What a long road and so much more to go.

Hey Bun what's your story on quitting? I couldn't take the wd's anymore and had a lot of unforseen major life changes- loss of home and stuff that kept tripping me up. No family or anything. Had to find a Dr. to do benzo taper and quit drinking on my own. Now I can't attend any meditations or my anxiety group because of work which is very stressful. Read a few of your threads... omg I am not the only one who feels overwhelmed and hopeless at times. I have no thyroid issue though, I know that can really cause depressions. I'm just this way on my own 'cause frankly life wears me out.

Now to overeat or not to overeat... my only pleasure.

2 months is a tremendous achievement Sleepie. Congratulations and give yourself some credit for getting this far.

I agree, two months out from beating the double-whammy of benzos and booze is
really a significant accomplishment.
On top of that, you have really supported many people on SR since
you've been here.

I hope things get better and better as your sobriety increases sleepie

I had the booze/benzo problem too. Wow, were those some scary days! What a relief to be out, yes? Whatever today brings, we're not likely to die in our sleep from CNS depression!

Hey there. My last drink/drug was 6/6/15. I was literally bleeding to death on my couch and my old AA sponsor showed up on my door and brought me to the ER. I detoxed for 5 days and I just knew I had had enough. I couldn't go on anymore. I called a treatment center, gave them my credit card, and stayed sober for 5 days waiting for a bed to open up. I didn't really have any hope of getting a new life...I just knew I couldn't go on the way I was. I spent 60 days in treatment and when I got out I was like "Now what? I still want to die ...I feel so low." Someone suggested a big book step study meeting...and that I find someone to take me through the steps. I was so desperate I would try anything. I went, a woman raised her hand saying she could sponsor, and I almost knocked over a table to get to her. She has saved my life. Over and over again. 9 months in now and I can't believe how much better things are! It is a lot of hard work and there are times when I still have no idea what I am doing...but it works...so I keep doing it! I'm really training my brain and my body to do the right thing. After a while certain things come naturally. A little at a time I change for the better. My best to you!

"Anyway, so???"

Awesome accomplishment, my friend.
It's not an easy road, but you're walking it!
Good on you for trudging the trudge.

And everyone laughed when I said Titans walk the halls here.

You're a Titan, sleepie.

2 months is so wonderful, Sleepie. We know what a tough fight it is.
