tests and long timers
I went to the doctor last week. Admitted my problems. Got blood tests done including liver and kidney tests. Results todAy say all ok. Can't actually believe it. So what next. Also doc signed me off for 2 weeks due to depression. Long standing problem. I have seen that a few long term sober members have relapsed on SR. And I'm not using this as an excuse. It makes me feel.humble that those with long term sobriety have struggles. It makes me ask is there any reprieve from this. I can't see any other way. It has me in its grasp. Its constant.
Snaggle, yes, there is definitely a reprieve. Sometimes I struggle with life, but I don't struggle with my addiction. I have incorporated recovery into my daily life and it works well for me. I don't think I'm immune to my addict voice either, but I know to not listen to it, ever. And, it seldom speaks to me anymore.

Thanks Anna. I have gone from being a normal drinker to someone who hides it.
I can drink 1.5 bottles a night behind my husband's back. Not good. And I am tired all the time and I mean muscles/bone tired. There are many reasons I could cite but am not going to. Probably sound like excuses.

Hi Snaggle
I can only speak for myself - the last month has been pretty rough for me in a variety of ways.
But I honestly never thought of drinking or getting high.
I don't say that to suggest I'm awesome - I'm not.
I just suggest it to illustrate that we're all capable of real deep and lasting change
Don't lose heart, succumb to fear or be put off...it gets easier

Great to hear the tests went alright, there's always hope and a way forward, I've lost count of how many people were worried about tests and then everything came back ok, that in itself shows there is hope when there seems to be none.
So it is the same with Sobriety, if your liver can be resilient and beat the poison it's been dealing with for years, then surely we can put up the same fight!!
We just need to find a way, but it can be done!!
