All the best venuscat. Don't just rely on your own willpower, after all you've been addicted for a long time and your alcoholic voice ain't going to go quietly. I say this not to discourage you in any way, just to suggest you marshal your support and have a plan for dealing with the cravings and possibly withdrawal. Have you contacted any health professionals, or AA or some other support network? Thank you for your message ~ I am 3 days sober, and filled with gratitude....and I believe you are completely right.....I cannot do this on my own. I have this site, my boyfriend's support, my AA/NA readings and when I can afford the petrol, I will begin regular meetings. I spent so many hours in the chat room yesterday.....didn't leave. It kept me safe, and it was the first time I have done something productive with my evening in a very long time. I am going to reach 50years of age sober, (on Sunday) and I finally understand that it just might not be too late for me. So I am willing, and I am ready. Thank yo so much for your advice, and I hope that you really are feeling great! sincerely, Venus :tyou:ghug3 |
Hello my SR friends, Today I am 47 days sober. Quite a miracle for me. I decided to come back and read this thread after someone in my Class of Feb forum suggested it. It seems like such a long time ago, and I feel so sad and heartbroken for the woman I was. Also, a little amazed, because that woman doesn't exist anymore. I can remember the agony and the depths of despair, but it as if I am looking at a past life, a time filled with indescribable shame and self loathing that no longer belongs to me. But I am glad beyond words that I came back and looked ~ I never, ever want to forget this. This was where my disease took me, and this is the very place I will return to if I do not stay vigilant and committed to my recovery, one day at a time, always. Thank you God. And thank you to everyone on SR. your very grateful friend, Venus xx |
