Roster will be posted 24 Hours from now at 10 pm EST USA 4/25. http://www.teghakennel.com/modules/k...n_bloom_xl.jpg I have asked huntingtontx to share her story with us. She has continually pushed forward overcoming many obstacles. She is also a great source of hope for new people coming into SR. I am inspired by her story and I think you will be too! And now I turn it over to huntingtontx... I broke my back in a car wreck on the way to work. They gave me pain pills to take home after I left the hospital, but I did not take them because it said they did not mix with alcohol. Crazy! Right? That is how much alcohol meant to me. I pretty much knew I was not going back to work, my car was totaled, and I was in a back brace unable to leave the house. I pretty much started drinking at noon and drank till I went to bed. If I woke at night I drank then too. I was on high blood pressure pills and also heart medication. It seemed my health was really not too good. One morning I woke with my right arm black and blue. I did not know what had happened. My husband, who is also an alcoholic told me I had tried to get up to use the bathroom and fallen over by the door. He helped me back to bed. I had not put my brace on and my back could not hold me. I realized I could have been crippled for life. That day I got real with myself. I quit drinking. That was July the 8th, 2013 and it was a changing day in my life. I did not know how but I knew I was going to quit. I went online and read about the dangers of quitting cold turkey, but I could not go anywhere, so I decided to do it on my own. I put a bottle of wine on the counter in case things got to bad, and sobered up. I was blessed with very few withdrawal symptoms and had a good recovery. I had been a heavy drinker for many years, and an every night drunk for at least ten years. I was always able to stop for a week or two to go visit my grandbabies. Not sure why I was able to do that. Anyway, I got sober. A month later I gave the wine to my sister. After a few days I knew I needed some support. My husband was still drunk every night, and I was feeling very much alone. I went online and found SR. I was so grateful to have found people who understood. I lived in the chat room those early days. I found the meetings on Tuesday and Friday, the 24 hour thread, and the post board. Every time I posted people were there for me. Once I felt very attacked, I had said I was a high functioning alcoholic and boy did that set some people off. I still know there are different levels of alcoholism. I worked every day, kept a clean house, did not drink and drive, etc. That is part of the reason it took me so long to seek help. I was not sure I was an alcoholic. I did not fit the round hole. I have learned on this journey we are all different, yet we are the same. We all have a common enemy. We all have to take this one day at a time and we all can learn from each other. As I reply to posts and try to help others, it helps me. I have learned so much here, and have made so many good friends. I may never see them face to face, but I know them and know they are there for me and I for them. I thank God every day for SR and I have learned that through helping others I help myself. I could try to list all those that helped me on this journey, but it would be to long to read. Thank you all who have walked with me, helping me along the way. I want to do all I can to help others on their journey. One last thing. My husband is an alcoholic, who gets drunk every night. Never believe you can’t quit because someone else drinks. We each have our own life, and the right to live it. I am around alcohol every day, but I do not want it to be part of my life. My choice. I choose this day to be sober. Thanks for all your help. Thank You huntingtontx! *Song For The Day -Nina Gordon - Tonight and the rest of my life http://img-s3-01.mytextgraphics.com/...9f4449eb30.gif If ever unable to locate the 24 Hour Club in the future, Go To Search on Blue Tool bar and type in Newcomer Daily Support and click Go.

Huntington I just finished reading your share, thank you for your honesty. The strength that we alcoholics have is uplifting & encouraging. I could relate to much of what you wrote. I wouldn't take my anti-depressants, after being diagnosed clinically depressed, because...OH, I couldn't drink my wine either! DOH!:wild. My head has been clear for awhile now. :rotate: It's time to sign in for my next 24 hours of recovery. :ring. Bobbi P.S. Deek just want to say :tyou again for thinking up this idea, I really like getting to know each other here, we share so much and are truly not alone. |
