Hello again
Hi everyone, Its been awhile.
I just want to say that I'm sorry (to myself and people close to me) that it's
taken so long for me to wake up....
I'm ten days sober and I'm starting to feel normal again.
I started taking my antidepressants (wellbutrin).
It's making me really tired, combination of the withdrawal, stress, etc, oh and the rainy weather we've been having lol.
Going to lots of meetings, meeting lots of new friends in the rooms, and trying to do service the best to my ability.
Broke up with my alcoholic boyfriend witch has made it a lot easier to stay sober.......
I think I have finally opened my eyes to my relationship with alcohol. That I won't be able to accomplish any of my dreams if I continue destroying my brain or hurting the people who care about me.
It feels weird trying to be good and healthy because I've been banging my head against the wall for so long that in a sick way I rather keep doing that than get better.
I pray to god everyday for the courage to be strong.
Ive been having a really rough week with emotions(their all over the place) and especially the withdrawal but I keep praying and pushing forward.
I want to thank everyone who has supported me on SR and I wish you all a good 24.

I understand too well the feeling of staying sick vs putting in the effort to get better. I just relapsed for the last two days and am now paying the price with the wd anxiety. You'd think I would have learned the last time... I'm ready to stop kicking myself now and want to get better more than anything. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to stay sober, like regular AA meetings instead of just once in a while.
All the best to you!

(((Kat))) - welcome back!!!
Congrats on your 10 days!! I take an anti-d and it took about 2-1/2 weeks for it to really "kick in" but it has helped a lot. It doesn't make me high or anything like that, just helps me to concentrate and function..something I wasn't doing so well before them.
I'm really glad you're back
Hugs and prayers!
Amy
