Whee.......

Hey!!! Only one horrible night sweat last night. I consider this great progress. I don't look "as" bad this morning. It's a rainy windy day, as Coldfusion and NWgrits could probably verify. That's ok with me today. This is the best I have felt since day one. My body feels better, my mind feels better. Anyway maybe it's the pink cloud that has alluded me thus far. I don't care. I'll take it. Going to work out and lay around watching movies. Just a chill day. Tomorrow we have tickets to the Mariners game. Tim is looking forward to it because he loves baseball. I'm looking forward to it because I love food!!! I am not the least concerned about going there and drinking. For the first time, the FIRST time, I can say, I chose not to drink. I just don't know if I have another detox in me.

I cannot imagine going through these withdrawals again. Please for those even having an inkling of relapse....please stop, think, seek help. This was by far the worst I have ever felt. It has just been way worse than any of my withdrawals and I relapsed for only 11 short days. Praying you will stop before you make the decision to drink again.

I love ya' bunches.

those thoughts are some of the ones that also help in a great way to keep me sober each and every day

never letting them slip too far away (as I did before)

Oh the ball game will be fun! I have only been to one pro ball game before and it was the Mariners! I saw them in exhibition at Arizona spring training. I love how everyone stands up and sings "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" at the 7 inning break is it? Actually I'm only a couple hours and a quick border crossing from Seattle. Perhaps I should put that on my summer bucket list.

Have a hot dog for me Pam!

As much as it greatly pained me to see you in relapse, I am grateful that you had the courage to share your experience. It is a reminder to many of us of the hazards which await us if . . . .

That's the way it got for me, too. This is kind of an intensive read, but helps explain why it happens that way.

Good for you Pam. This post brought a smile to my face. Something about the words your choosing suggest this time it will be different for you. I have faith!

Pam that is exactly the way I felt when I came crawling in here after my last binge. It was the most horrific experience ever because I'd been sober for 3 yrs. when I picked up again. I was a bundle of misery from head to toe - pounding heart, flu-like symptoms, and all the stuff you've already mentioned. I knew I didn't have another detox in me - and that knowledge has kept me sober for 6-1/2 years. We never need to put ourselves through it again.
