Introducing Myself

Hi all, I've been on the forums for most of the past year, but I recently deleted my old account and opened this one because my husband logged into my account and read everything I've written (some of which involved him and my issues with our marriage). I used my lack of access to SR as a convenient excuse to go even LOWER than I had when I first joined: drinking more, drinking all the time, drinking to deal with everything. Last week was seriously awful, and I am currently looking into inpatient rehab options. The one I'm interested in requires a 30-day minimum stay, which will be very difficult for me professionally and personally, but I know I would really benefit from a "jump start" to my sobriety without the stress of daily life. I need to put together a plan, and the space and time to focus on my sobriety would be amazing.

Anyway, thanks for having me. This has been a HUGE help to me in the past, and I really hope that this is the last time I need to hit the "restart" button.

Welcome back fearless. Sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to get sober. Inpatient can be a good foundation.

If you're gonna jump back in, Fearless, you might as well do it with both feet. It seems like you are ready to take bold action.

Good luck. I am glad you are here with us.

Thanks all! It's great to be back in the mix. What's not so great is that I picture my husband reading every word again...God, that was awful.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Interpersonal conflicts and stress can really be triggers. Try not to live in fear that he'll read it. Just write here with honesty and with the thought in mind that if he does read it, it's truth and not malicious. That's an awful feeling though. I'm sorry.

Glad you're here.
