Ice - How did your night go? I was worried when I read your messages from last night. I hope you did not take that drink. If not, you made it one whole week! Today is my two weeks sober.
Way to go to you for a week. One more will not be okay. I would love another glass of wine too, trust me. But I feel so much better without it and one will lead to two, three, four Two bottle of wine and me passed out waking up at 11 not wanting to get up.
So stick with it man. You are almost through the hard part. You can do it!!!!!

Hey ice, good job on not buying into the lies of your disease.
I treat my alcoholism as a living, breathing enemy - one that is out to kill me. One that has a silver tongue and will try to tell me anything just so it gets its way. I have been known to talk out loud to my disease when it tried to convince me that just one wouldn't hurt, this time would be different, etc. I have told it out loud to f*ck off! Anybody that would have heard me would have sent me to the rubber rooms for sure but this is a fight for my life and I'm not going to go down without a fight! If it means prayer, if it means reaching out to others, if it means doing anything and everything until the urge passes then so be it. For me it also involves lots of AA meetings and yes, cursing at my disease (haven't had to do that in a long time thank God!!!)
Hang in there and stay on guard. Keep up the good fight. You can win this, you are so worth it!
Hugs,
Kellye

I think it's illegal to fire you for getting help with addiction. You don't have to tell them specifics, your Doctor should be able to give you a written excuse to be in treatment, without being specific as to why.....might want to check it out.
