To my dear Vinnie, and all my good friends,
I'm alive and well and sober. I couldn't say that last Wednesday. I was on a 4-day binge, and finally decided that the only way I could get and STAY sober was to get myself into a 4-day detox. It was a great and terrible experience, but definitely necessary. I learned alot of things I already knew, but they made so much more sense this time. And met some wonderful people.
My parents were angry that I didn't spend Thanksgiving with them, but I can't think of a better way to give thanks than to spend it in a treatment center getting sober. Of course, they don't understand that. My precious niece isn't speaking to me. And many of my friends have just given up on me. I'm sad and hurt, and depressed, and spend a lot of time crying. But I'm going to stay sober today. And going to a meeting tonight to listen and talk and heal.
I hate this disease. I truly do. But I have it, and I'm going to have to deal with it if I want to live. And I do want to live.
Thanks all for your concern. I love you all. (Vinnie, and Pauline - my two angels on this board!!)
