Welcome back to sobriety and SR...

I consider that when I started my AA Steps
was the beginning of solid recovery.

Hope that will prove true for you too.

shellgirl-you might want to search for Suboxone here. There are a lot of posts on it and a lot of information via replies and links.

Mtn Magic,

I don't have the experience with these things but know from others experiences. Since we are in the same boat with sobriety and we live next door, let's go to some meetings together!

Please let me know if this sounds good to you when you are feeling better. Hang in there (and hang in there with me too).

I was taking Campral for nearly three months and found it helped with cravings. Do go back to your meetings, don't be afraid. They will be glad you're back. If you were in the hospital three days that should have taken care of the acute withdrawals pretty much. Now you've got the emotional withdrawals to deal with and taking good care of your body and mind while you get used to being sober again. You can do it, I have faith in you.

Learn from your relapse, pick yourself up and keep moving forward. You can do this.

Campral is also supposed to help the brain restore its natural chemistry after alcohol use. That and taking B vitamins can also help.

Nicki - I responded to your PM. I'm still a little loopy from the med's they gave me at the hospital,but I managed to make it to an AA meeting. I was
so happy going to meeings every day. It managed to make things a little easier to stay sober. I have no idea what made me drink again. I didn't
even give it much thought at all. Just did it. They gave me lots of meds at
the hospital. They have not worn off yet. Last night, I called both my ex and my son. I am so ashamed at what I told both of them. I have not drank today, but like I said I can barely function.

Part of my issue is pride. I have a hard time asking for help. To clarify,I had an easy time taking the bus, then walking to meetings. With the snow and all, although I believe many would offer a ride to work after my meetings. Poor excuse I know. God will the shame ever go away?

Hi mtnmagic, thanks for checking in. Loopy can be frustrating, but not drinking for today is great.

The shame will go away and you will forgive yourself. Keep getting to the meetings and working that program. All we can do is move forward, the past is already done. I think asking for help doesn't have to contradict having pride. Good choices, like asking for help when it is scary, will make you proud of yourself. Hang in there!

Good Morning Mtn,

I hope today is better for you! I checked my PM's and didn't catch one from you. Resend?

I'm sooo glad you made it to a meeting yesterday! I understand about PRIDE!!!! It's sooo hard for me to ask for help as well. I've always felt that what I get myself into, I must get out of -- myself. It's not working too well and now I'm ready to start humbling myself the best I (don't) know how to.

Hopefully we can hook up. Please keep posting and reaching out. Send me a PM when you can - K????

:praying Love ya! Nicki
