Thanks guys.

It's part of being here in this community for a long time unfortunately.
I'll just keep doing what I can - it's all any of us can do, really.

I'm sure noone wants you to to leave ST - but I think everyone wants to see you get better too, y'know?

There's a great sober life out there with your name on it, man

There's no sense in beating yourself up ST.

If you're like me, that'll just makes you want to get more wasted.
Saying you're a plague and all that other negative stuff is just reinforcing the cycle.

It's really time to stop that.
It takes courage to leave the familiar, but it's worth it

You have value and you deserve all the happiness in the world.
You are not your addiction, or your problems.

You are more than that. Much more.
And you don't owe any apologies to me or anyone else.

ST - I don't want you to leave. Y'all have been good to me. And I know you have it in you. I just want you to go into the doctors appointment prepared because I know how those appts can go - quick and painless unless YOU bring things up. Ok? Big hugs.

I'm sorry Dee - take good care of you

Good Morning All - Hope everyone has a good day - I am off & running here to water at my neighbors & head out to work.

Day 12 today & very thankful for that. I am going to be working on my support here local....just a couple of women that I have connected to & think it would be good if I would spend time at least once a week...I don't think AA is for me, but I do understand the importance of having others in my life that understand this "monster".

Obo, hope today is a better one for you - your doing fabulous

Mariah you're doing well. Day 12 is great. And I think you're right about local support. I hope you find that even more helpful. Hugs.

Solitary, you are not a plague. I hope you can get some sleep today, and like AppleKat said, going into the Dr. With a list of things to discuss is a really good idea. Even if it is a preliminary appointment. He might be able to expedite your next steps, if you are honest and up front about what's going on. If you feel like you need some kind of inpatient program, your insurance might pay for it if the dr refers you, but that can only happen if you talk to him honestly. Please take care of yourself.

Mariah, 12 days is great, and building a supportive local community is a really good plan. I'm always here too. I hope it's a great day for you.

I hope today is a good one for all of us Fools. We truly deserve it.

ST - I went into my first therapy appointment with a 2 page long timeline of all of the things that I felt were significant/traumatic. My therapist said that was extremely helpful and gave her a head start in understanding my situation without wasting precious hours (and money). Writing all of that out was also helpful for me to understand how I got to where I am, too. Writing is cathartic no matter what, but if it can help keep the cost of therapy down, it's a bonus.
