Thanks for the update,I noticed I replied to you in 2012!,I was Heath 480 then,don’t know what happened,but I have a different account now. Wonderful that you are in the fellowship,same here. Wishing you well. |
So uplifting, thank you for coming back! |
I'm really glad to read this update Bender - congrats on 7 years :) D |
Hi Meg, In mentioning your home group, was AA a part of your early sobriety? |
Wonderful; thanks for the update and congratulations on your sober time 🙏 |
What a wonderful yodate and huge congrats on your 7 years. Gives me hope |
Bender2! How awesome! I was especially inspired by your post this morning. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey! |
Congrats Bender!! I hope you stick around! Amazing story. You were so brave. |
I was just in inpatient detox for a week and got out laast Thursday. I would HIGHLY recommend it! The therapy and knowledge you receive as well as the follow-up care has made all of the difference for me. I have been in the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) since last Friday and will most likely remain there for 3 more weeks. After that, I will transition to their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) where I will stay for at least 2 weeks. I can't say enough good things about inpatient detox. One thing I learned is I can't quit alone and my time as inpatient in addition to PHP now have given me a solif foundation to start on. Wishing you the best of luck. Hang in there! Edit: Just realized this was an old post. Oops! I am so happy you have been sober since that day. That is such an inspiration to me. Did you end up going inpatient? What worked the best for you? I am currently on Day 12 sober. |

Hey! AA was part of my early sobriety. I went to AA here and there for a couple of months before I went to detox & rehab, but I was not thrilled about going to meetings at first. I sat in the back, didn't speak, and wondered why I didn't have any friends and why I was still miserable. Eventually, after being dumped by a sponsor for not doing the work, I threw myself into AA (and did the steps thoroughly) and I haven't looked back. Now I LOVE meetings. I know AA isn't the only way to get sober, but it's the only way that's worked for me. I matured in AA. It truly has been my blueprint for life and I can't say enough good things about it. |

This update made me so happy and so emotional at the same time!! Thanks for making my day :You_Rock_ |
Inpatient detox will make things a HELL of alot easier and more comfortable with the medication they give u. Just bring a couple books u want to read and comfty clothes and take care of urself like u would any other sick person!! U can do this! |
Meg, Sounds like you have had enough and are ready for the change. You deserve it. Do not worry about anything other than getting and staying sober right now, everything else will fall into place afterwards. Rooting for yoU! |
Bender, Thanks for taking the time to post this , you will help a lot of people. I have never been to AA, but have been sober for years based on a plan that centers around faith that if we do the next right thing, it will all be OK, and as Dee says, if its not OK, its not the end. And doing the inner work. I love Hip Sobriety (now Tempest). Thank you! |
