4 days clean...
Hey there,
I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Robin and I am an addict alcoholic. I have been in recovery before, about 5 years ago. Since leaving the rooms of AA my life has just been an insane downward spiral. I stumbled across this site and I am so entirely grateful to have done so. I am afraid of getting sober again. i am afraid of feeling these emotions. I'm not sure where to start this time. All I do know, is that I spent 8 hours in the emergency room Friday night due to overdoing my drug of choice....and I literally thought I was going to die. I am sick and tired of this life. of the chaos. of the constant NEED to get high or drunk. I have much bigger dreams for myself than wasting away to nothing. I am starting a new job in about two hours and I am so motivated to do the right thing. Thank you, to whoever is reading this, and I hope that you are finding yourself feeling blessed today, because you are. whenever you are, whatever your day has been like so far, you are ALIVE.

Well Robin you have found a good website full of good people. I am not the best person to give advice since I am still an alcoholic but working on it. Try to stay strong, make sure you see your doctor if you are going to go cold turkey. It can be dangerous. I can say this, the times I have been sober, life was so much more beautiful. It can be that for you as well. Keep fighting!!
