Least has two weeks

Congrats Least. It is great to see you back to being yourself again. I didn't like it when you were beating yourself up every day last week.
The good thing is you joined the Jan, class and we get to hear from you that much more.

We've all felt like that at some point, I know I did. Give yourself chance to come out into the sunshine again. We're all behind you, Least.

Let's break this down S. I just posted a message to you, but I can't ignore this thread.

today is just FOR WHAT?? Today is a day you can choose to be sober for yourself, for your dogs, for your kids, for whatever gets you sober. You have been so happy to be sober and so you slipped up. Did it negate all your efforts when you were sober for so long? No way!! Are you the only one that has ever relapsed after a period of sobriety? OMG - no way!! Read SR and you will see it over and over. If you truly give up on yourself S then the addiction has won and God has lost. I know you believe in God. Pray to him and ask for his help. Sincerely pour your heart out to him S. (Sorry for offending any non-believers, but I'm speaking to Least right now.)

Who gives a ****? I do, the people that join here every day and are encouraged by you do, the neighbor that brings you food does, your daughters do (believe it or not, but that's the truth), people you don't even know you've effected, but you have, do. I wish I could do an "Its a Wonderful Life" on you, but unfortunately I don't have the capabilities.

I would plead for you to read the posts that you have made over the past few months and see that 85 percent of them were uplifting, encouraging and down right theraputic to many people that have joined SR. I see your depression comes and goes, but it definitely is worsening and you do need to find a course of action to heal yourself.

Don't give up on yourself because we haven't in any way given up on you.

:praying for you!

Come on least! Chin up and keep going! If you can do two weeks, then you can do 3 and 4 and 5 and so on.... I have been very encouraged by all of your posts and they with all the others keep me sober and on this board. Don't go anywhere!

Least,
This is from a country song:

If your going thru Hell, just keep on moving

Don't slow down,

If your scared don't show it.

You might get out,

before the Devil even knows your there.

I hope you feeling better today.

Linda

i'm sorry i'm such a downer. i feel like a downed cow being dragged and tortured into slaughter. i can feel empathy for any living thing but myself, how sick is that? two weeks is better than nothing. i just hope today brings something good with it. my sleep last night brought no rest or release, only bad dreams and fright and depair. i am so lost. i'd be alone without my dogs. besides all of you, my dogs are the only ones who love me for what i am, not for what i can provide. i am so lost and alone and scared to death. i hate feeling this way but don't know how to feel any other way. i am lost and alone and afraid
