Lawgirl, yes for me it did. I am so happy now...and when I look back, it's like a different person. Looking back on the darkest times is like watching a bad movie.
I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but this hell can go away. Sure, there will be normal ups and downs, but it won't feel like this. It's time to be free. Its time to make your life how you want it to be.

In the beginning, I just took it one day at a time, but now, going on ten months sober, it is a rare thought or craving that happens briefly, certainly not a daily or even weekly thing. Yes, it does get easier and the sober life is a good one!

I just had a complete psychotic episode...I was actually delusional, having done some research it appears the combination of the medication I was on and the booze did it. I was convinced things were real that aren't.

I had a drug and alcohol induced psychotic break too. Like I said, it's time.
There's nothing good left there with the drinking. Better things await.
Do you have a plan for quitting?

When I am on a drinking binge, it is usually complete destruction for me. My last binge I spent over $1000 in 4 days, called people and yelled at them, passed out in an alley. I know that sadness and regret you feel and it's so consuming.

Good plan.
I was Baker acted. That's an involuntary psyche placement here in FL. Ten days there then a subsequent rehab placement for 28.
It's really hard when your right to choose what happens to you is taken away. I wouldn't recommend it.

Once I did "get it" it was all uphill from there. I know you're probably in a bad place right now, but look at this as a new and brighter beginning. Sure there will be bumps in the road, but stay strong and remember how free you will be once you get past the worst of the urges.
