Hello everyone,
I'm just coming past the 2 months mark and coming out of a rough few days in terms of dealing with the "mental obsession" side of alcohol addiction. It caught me for a bit but the key thing is that I labelled it, surfed it, moved through it and today i'm feeling more positive and brighter about recovery and things in general
My post is for anyone in the infancy of recovery, in those first few weeks when you may feel lost, desperate, lonely, like you can't "do it" or that drinking alcohol is your only viable option. Drinking is not an option and that opens up so many doors for other options that you were unable to do because you chose the drinking option
Come on the forum, speak to others, talk it out, there is no shame in admitting you need support. The addiction will tell you otherwise and wants you to believe that alcohol is your solution to your troubles- good one alcohol, cunning and baffling! ignore it and redirect to a more positive activity of which there are many
I've been on and off this forum for a while now (i've finally started to use my computer to post now so hoping to post more) and it is an amazing network of support, free, 24 hour support for anyone in need of help
If you are in those first few days, or contemplating a quit or coming off a bender or whatever, recovery IS possible and more importantly PROBABLE if you put it FIRST
I hope this helps someone out there, have a great day all
