Hello
 
Hi,

My name's Bambi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

For the past 9 months i've been trying to stop drinking but i've kept on relapsing on around the 30 day mark. I seem to just slip back into isolating myself and once i'm doing that it's only a matter of time before i'm drinking again. I think part of the reason this happens is that being around real people makes me feel very uncomfortable so i thought i'd see what i'm like in an internet community. I will try not to run away from here like i do from everything else.

So where i'm at now. I'm on day 2 again and feeling quite ill but very hopeful that this is the time i get it. This is my rebirth into the reality. I can't keep doing this to myself and my family when i know there's a solution out there.

So once again it's a pleasure to meet you and hope to see you in the future

Bambi

((Bambi)) - Welcome to SR! It's been a huge part of my recovery, even back when I was just lurking and reading. There's always someone here, and lots of posts to read and finding out we really aren't alone.

Hugs and prayers,

Welcome to SR Bambi :)

I'm uncomfortable around people too so this place has been a real life saver, somewhere to come even when I'm isolating :) Glad you found us x

Thank you very much for your warm words of welcome. It really does mean a lot to me.

Day 3 is now nearly half way through and i'm feeling strong. Well not exactly strong but better than yesterday and thats all i can hope for. I'm not going to ruin it for a drink or a drug that i won't even enjoy.

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and keeping themselves healthy and hopeful

Bambi
