I'm going in for help

Wanted to let everyone know, cause I may not be on here for a little while. My depression and anxiety I believe is beyond what I should be feeling at 2+ months clean and sober. I can't even function most of the time. I'll have a few decent days then get hit with very bad ones. This last episode has lasted almost a week now. I'm depressed, angry, anxious, raging, just a mess. I don't want to turn back to drugs and alcohol so I'm going to a place that specializes in mental disorders as well as addiction treatment. Don't know how long they will keep me or if I will have access to a computer.

I want to thank each and every one of you guys again. This is a special place, that I have love and depend on daily for my sobriety. Many times it's a whole lot more than just putting down the bottle or drug. Some of us have underlying issues that also need to be addressed as well. Apparently, I'm one of those.

I'll be back on as soon as I can.

Love you all.

God bless.

Good luck Jocata. Get yourself better. Your words have helped me so much on my journey. I will miss you while you are away. But you being the best you can be means so much to me! I commend you for seeking help and admitting this is beyond your control. AND BEST OF ALL FOR NOT GOING BACK TO DRUGS AND ALCOHOL!!!! HUGE HUG!!!!!!
