I felt so, so hopeless and full of shame when I finally realised that I was the problem.

BUT... along with the acceptance of the responsibility for our part in thing comes the hope that things can change. Because the one thing we can change is ourselves. And luckily, thats the only thing we NEED to change.

Now. Where to start in making those changes, that's another matter. It is, I suppose the crux of our Recovery work. For me that meant working the 12-step program with a sponsor I'd met in AA meetings. For others the change would have been made possible through other things.

There is hope. Because you have realised where the problem is.

My drinking problem followed me around like my shadow. Wherever I went, there it was.

Well I called my EAP. They referred me for inpatient detox and really discouraged me from outpatient, and said it would be unlikely I would find someone who would risk treating me as an outpatient, anyway. So...still drinking. I’m going to call detox when I get home today to see what’s involved. Did this once before, just can’t seem to learn the lesson.

Start thinking now about the other end of detox.
I know you want this drinking merry go round to end...so start planning now.
