24 Hour Recovery Connection Part 291
Nic- people who are 'normal' cannot and will not understand addiction or the amount of hard grind it takes- where a second goes on forever in fighting ourselves in stopping. I have learned that I cannot control others and just expect others to do what they will do. I have just finished up a visit by 2 nice, damaged people who are at the same stage- housing wise in this very intense recovery program. One had just bought booze to watch the crows (football - Aussie for others)game tonight and the other still smokes weed and boozes. They both still engage with others who are actively into addiction. But I let them in and distanced myself and concentrated on me...that I was safe and their behaviour does not have to effect me...although I am emotionally numb at the moment. I enjoy them when they are normal..but I have set my own boundaries..for me. I know you did- but others will do as they do. Support to you.
Nic....can I join the list of people angry on your behalf. ?? That is soooo wrong on every single count. You don't need friends like that. If you were on meds..you could have been very violently ill...or worse..Don't beat yourself up Nic....the deceit had nothing to do with you. You can hold your head up high. Don't let the backstabbing be a trigger. You are doing amazing. Love and support . Xxx P.xx
I went down for milk tonight and walked past the bottle shop and bought myself chocolate and chips instead lol!!! I'll eat myself into a
Junk food coma instead x
Hope you're well xx good luck for your charity do
I am disgusted on your behalf, I have had mocktails a couple of times recently, and had to ask hubby to double check the taste of one as I wasn't sure, so I know how easy it would be to be 'mickied' . Personally, I believe you still have five weeks of working actively on recovery, don't allow anger or despair to derail you sweetie.
My thoughts are with everyone suffering from the current run of storms and Hurricaines, please keep safe.
Toots in for another 24 please

Nic=- you did nothing wrong and everything right. You are taking positive (for you) risks. I am doing the same. That does not mean it always works out- but it also means eventually it will. The point for us, really is not the social event, but the fact we are growing. Go us...roar.
