pumped to begin outpatient!

Super excited to begin outpatient treatments tomorrow. I've been recommended 90 hours (30 three hour treatments). I'll be attending a service center which help me get sober in 2011. I remember getting extremely motivated attending groups there in the past.

Anyways, just wanted to share what a great help everyone here has been. I had a week and a half after mybstint in jail without professional help, which I need. You wonderful people helped bridge me to my next step of treatment.

Thank you for helping me to keep sober.

Thank you for listening....

Identifying.......

Caring.

I'll be here every day for the foreseeable future and beyond, but this site meant so much in a dangerous period for my 25 days of sobriety.

With my heart & soul, I thank you

Thanks to you all! Each day seems like years from my prior 10 years+ as an alcoholic. I'm happy to say I no longer feel uncomfortable acknowledging I cannot drink alcohol for the rest of my life. It used to freak me out thinking I could not have 1 more drink.......ever! Now it isn't even crossing my mind. This from s guy who thought his life could terminate any night in december and january. I still have cravings, but with support and my will, and Aa, and group.....I hold the power to say no!
No more will stupid liquid, in a stupid bottle, ruin my awesome life!

My last bout of sobriety taught me well. I believe what I say. I am the agressor in the fight. I feel if I am passive, I will fail. I believe and practice what I preach. Being proactive and honest are 2 valuable tools. When I'm anxious I tell anyone who will listen. If ever I want a drink, I tell everyone. And I tell them why, so we can converse. Conversing with honesty is my offensive actack
