Lionhearted1

So it's 2.30am on Monday morning I have been drinking since Saturday I had my last drink a few hours ago this weekend has pushed me back to recovery mode.. I have not thought much about it in the last 6 weeks some how even thinking that iam ok which I know deep down iam not... So tonight the walls where literally coming in on me felt so scared and alone I know it's my body detoxing but it's scary and only someone who's been through it knows.. But I need to be in this place in order to get to the next place which is recovery iam scared of failing again but iam more scared of living like this... Just having this forum tonight has helped me and for that iam great-full...

Wish me luck as tommorow I start my recovery....

Oh praying for you to make it! You can do it. Detox sucks but it is temporary. Living sober, you can do this thing. I know you can! Prayers to you!

Hang in there, lionhearted. Tomorrow is a new day. I'm glad you posted. Try to drink a lot of water and get some sleep.

Hang in there and don't give up! I know the feeling of anxiety that follows drinking can be horrible and it's what keeps me from doing it again. Don't forget this moment and use it to get right back up and back to sobriety!

Hey LionHearted. Living like this, or dying like this?

Hang in there. You can do it. I've seen you put some stretches together. You can do it!

This might come off as not supportive, but you don't need luck, Lionhearted. You need some serious action on your part to pull yourself out of this cycle of despair and drinking.

Wishing you determination to do so.

Good luck. Just stick to it and keep to it, you'll thank yourself for it.
I have yet not met anyone who got sober longer term who has regretted it. I am no exception. You can do it.

Good attitude. Best of luck

Well said Doggone.
Luck has nothing to do with what we are doing here. It is discipline, plan, execution of that plan and sheer will power.
I am on day 21 today. I was not lucky to get to this short point. I beat the AV everyday for 21 days at its game. I am better than the AV. I am happy, healthier, better rested and determined not to %$&%*& this up again.
Our best wishes to the Lion on the journey.

You aren't alone Lionhearted, you just feel alone. That's called active alcoholism.

I lived like you too. This was me - wah, wah, wahhhh....poor me. Help me, fix me, but don't ask me to put any work into it. This attitude got me exactly nowhere fast.

Pick yourself up. Put down the alcohol and focus on formulating a plan.

You are so worth it & we're all here to cheer you on.
