I think I just finally reached the point where I was just plain tired. Tired of waking up shaking and heaving. Tired of riding to the hospital in the back of a police car. Tired of hurting people I love. Tired of hurting myself. Tired of fearing what my future was going to be like if I continued on that path. Tired of hating what I saw in the mirror. Tired of embarrassing myself. Tired of deluding myself that I could drink without consequences. Tired of the guilt and shame.
I started intensive outpatient treatment and counseling, started back to AA, got a new sponsor, started working the steps, began accepting invitations to go out with sober friends instead of isolating, and immersed myself in recovery with the same effort I put into my drinking. Started praying a lot. Did what was suggested to me. Asked for help. It works. :c031:
