They were dark times when I last saw this person but frankly I was a mess and often only our very nearest loved ones stand by us when we are in that place. Life goes on and resentments are pointless.
All I have to say is thank God I'm sober!
Lots of love guys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

10pm here in England...
24 more hours pleeeease!
Nearing the end of Day 8 now and ready for Day 9!
Feeling really positive in my mindset just struggling with the extreme tiredness still and mental fog but I know it's going to pass.
I Finished work today then started re arranging all kinds of things around the house, switching rooms around etc, I feel a whole fresh start / transitional period coming on, just hope I can keep this mindset up, SR helps so much, big love and support right back at you all
Some may of read this on my earlier post but I'll post it here too as I find it a real help, reminds me how much hell alcohol has brought me and what will happen if I go down that route again...

"You know who I am, you’ve called me your friend,
Wishes of misery and heartache I send
I want only to see that you’re brought to your knees
I’m the devil inside you, I am your disease.
I’ll invade all your thoughts, I’ll take hostage your soul
I’ll become your new master, in total control
I’ll maim your emotions, I’ll run the whole game
Till your entire existence is crippled with shame.
When you call me I come, sometimes in disguise
Quite often I’ll take you by total surprise
But take you I will, and just as you’ve feared
I’ll want only to hurt you, with no mercy spared.
If you have your own family, Ill see its destroyed
I’ll steal every pleasure in life you’ve enjoyed
I’ll not only hurt you, I’ll kill if I please
I’m your worst living nightmare, I am your disease.
I bring self destruction, but still you can’t tell
I’ll sweep you through heaven, then drop you in hell
I’ll chase you forever, wherever you go
And then when I catch you, you won’t even know.
I’ll sometimes lay silent, just waiting to strike
What’s yours becomes mine, cause I take what I like
I’ll take all you own and I won’t care who sees
I’m your constant companion… I am your disease.
If you have any honour, I’ll strip it away
You’ll lose all your hope and forget how to pray
I’ll leave you in darkness, while blindly you stare
I’ll reduce you to nothing, and won’t even care
So, don’t take for granted my powers sublime
I’ll bend and I’ll break you, time after time
I’ll crumble your world with the greatest of ease
I’m that madman inside you…I am your disease.
But today I’m real angry…you want to know why?
I let this treatment center full of Addicts entirely slip by
How did I lose you? Where did I go wrong?
One minute I had you…then next you were gone.
You just can’t dismiss all the good times we’ve shared
When you were alone…wasn’t it I who appeared?
When you sold those possessions you knew you would need
Wasn’t I the first one who stepped in and agreed
Now look at you bastards, you’re all thinking clear
You escaped with your lives when you found your way here
Only fools think they’re winners when admitting defeat
It’s what you must say when you’re claiming that seat
Go ahead and surrender, if that’s what you choose
But, I’m not giving up. cause I can’t stand to lose.
So stand in your groups and support hand in hand
Better choices will save you…leaving me to be damned
Well, be damned all you people seeking treatment each week
Be damned inner strength, however unique
Be damned all your sayings, be damned your cliches
Be damned every addict, who back to me strays.
For I know it will happen, I’ve seen it before
Those who love misery will crawl back for more
So take comfort in knowing, I’m waiting right here
But next time around, you’d just better beware.
You think that you’re stronger or smarter this time’
There isn’t a mountain or hill you can’t climb.
Well if that’s what you’re thinkin, you ain’t learned a thing
I’ll still knock you silly if you step back in my ring
But you say you’ve surrendered, so what can I do?
It’s so sad in a way, I had big plans for you
Creating your nightmare for me was a dream
I’m sure gonna miss you…we made quite a team.
So please don’t forget me, I won’t forget you
I’ll stand by your side watching all that you do
I’m ready and waiting, so call if you please
I won’t let you forget me…I am your disease."
