Please help me get through this

Hi everyone, I'm having a rough day. I've been clean for 12 days and today is putting me to the test. Please pray for me to make it through.

Thanks,
Dixie

Hey Dixie -

You're in my thoughts and prayers. Keep on keeping on - you are worth it, and you can do it. Look how far you've come! I'm proud of you, as is everyone else here, I'm sure. You should be so proud of yourself.

Just keep at it, one moment at a time. We're with you.

Stay strong Dixie, you can do this. Whatever it is that's troubling you, isn't worth a drink. You'll be very disappointed in yourself if you do. Strength in numbers. My prayers for strength go out to you.

(((((Dixie)))))) please do what you need to do to NOT DRINK.

Fantastic on 12 days, you've already gotten over a huge hurdle, don't risk losing that for total INSANITY, because that's what it is.

Oh I wish I knew the right thing to say to you, wish so bad. I'm on day 2, and I don't WANT to go back, ever again, I see what it's doing to me, especially my thinking, and heaven knows you don't want that. I've had more then my fill of this total craziness.

I'm so happy you've come in here asking for help, instead of waiting after the fact. YOU GO GIRL.

I will pray for you, you can count on it.

Love.....Denise

Hi Dixie,

I'm sorry that you're having a tough day. It might sound trite, but having a drink is not going to make things better, only worse.

The only way to gain strength is to challenge these feelings and beat them. Then you get stronger, each time, by winning the battle.

Love, Anna

Hang in there Dixie, you're going to be allright.

Get on the phone and call the central office of AA in your town. Tell them what you are going thru. Call anybody you have on your phone list. Get ready to go to a meeting tonite. You only have to hang on till you get to the meeting, and then tell the people there how you are feeling.

I'm praying for you.

Mike :-)

I KNOW you can do it!! Don't ask me how I know, I just do, from reading your posts.

Do you really want to throw it all away at this point? Me "thinks" not!

Go for a walk
Call a friend
Call your sponser
Read a book
Go to bed

Do ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! Except drink!

You can DO it girl!!!!!!

Love,

Ang
