For the first time.....
Wow........after spending a couple of hours reading through multiple posts on this site ~ I honestly had an "aha" moment! It was like God reached out and slapped me right across the face and heaven knows I've needed it! I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to whomever created this site ~ I have been going through unbelievable depression. I am on day 5 of completely cold turkey detox from years & years of Rx meds (like that made it ok......NOT!) I know this sounds crazy, but it truly made me feel like I knew several of you, due to the similarities in thoughts, patterns, feelings, etc. So, thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me that "BOOST" I've needed and so desperately looked for.

Please Google and read AA's "How it Works" and see if you can identify. I found the answers to my problems in the 12 Steps.
Just my experience but the pain I felt was mostly caused by "spiritual" shortcomings and I tried to mask it with booze and Valium. I don't need either today.
What does your doctors say about attending AA meetings?
All the best.

Thank you for the uplifting words.......unfortunately my pain is physical. I struggle daily with managing it. I have spoken with my docs numerous times and since I have "gone against medical advice" the only recommendations I get have been things like "when your bo goes stroke level high-come see me" & my neurosurgeon said "you can't manage your pain without some form of help -you'll have no life". So since I am hanging on a wing and a prayer daily.........I took control myself and pray I can prove them both wrong!
