I wish you luck. It does take a lot more than luck though, it takes action - do you have a plan this time?

Anna 07-31-2014 06:26 PM

I do wish you luck, but you will need more than that.

Nuudawn 07-31-2014 06:59 PM

Wishin' you all the best and hopin' you do have a plan. This is a BEAST we are up against friend.

I feel very lost and alone.

I have bipolar II, but it seems more like early onset dementia, which runs in my family.

I'm terrified.

VikingGF 07-31-2014 07:17 PM

Wishing you strength. You will need that more than luck. You can do it, the power is in all of us. Decide to do it and make it happen. We're here!

Sweetie...you are not alone. We are all in this with you. Are you on med's for the BP? Drinking and mixing med's...well, alcohol renders it all useless. You can do this. Keep reaching out okay? It feels like you pop in ...and then you go off and try to do this alone. You don't have to...not only do you not need to...you SHOULDN'T. Addiction seems to be an affliction of those who self impose their own isolating remedies. Keep reaching out honey..that's how its' done.

No, when I lost my job last year I started drinking because it was cheaper then meds.

So smart, right? Dear lord.

Ah..well, not an uncommon remedy for that which ails us...for people like us : ) Are you able to get yourself back on? Can you scrape some resources together?

Alphabet, We are with you. Keep posting as you begin this journey. We know you can do it.

Hope I see you tomorrow : )

Hey Alphabet. You are ready for this. Maybe tomorrow in the morning you could reach out to your Psych provider and prepare for good treatment and monitoring. But that is tomorrow.

Sweet dreams!

Day 16 here. Wife just said to me"I never thought you would ever be a non smoker and a non drinker. I am so proud of you."

My wife is proud of me!

Best day in years!

You CAN do it alphabet!

Cheli 07-31-2014 08:04 PM

Good luck! Something we all need. I'm on day 8.

Dee74 07-31-2014 08:16 PM

You have my very best wishes alphabet but I really believe we make our own luck in this :)

You'll get out of your recovery what you put into it.

give it all you have and stay committed :)

PurpleKnight 08-01-2014 02:03 AM

You can do this!! :)

Spectered 08-01-2014 04:40 AM

I'm on day 14 myself - what helps a lot is keeping busy so you don't have idle time in your day. Between starting to read books and exercising, I've made sure that I don't have time to be bored. Best of luck!!
