Addictive Voice.

When I got here I learned about AVRT. It has helped me a lot.

The wonderful thing about the people here is they won't give up on you. You will see that the more you look around and read. The people here are great, smart, insightful, fun, and very real.

One thing about this place is how tenacious the people are. No one will give up on you

I hate people who whine and right how I'm whining and crying like a damn baby so I guess I hate myself. I just don't know what to do.

Start with a recovery plan Frank.

Change is uncomfortable, but change is required for us to move forward.

Good morning FL:

How are you feeling today? It can be a new "groundhog day" if you make it.

Don't forget we are always here to talk.

Frank i litrelly brought myself to the brink of death left alone i wouldnt be here now my neighbours rang fire services because of all the smoke firefighters broke down my door and dragged me out

Why is this important ? well i wasnt ready to give up i carried on drinking i was caught up in my own hell life wasnt reality i was a very distorted version of myself

3 months later i did manage to get & stay sober i remember saying i give up ive lost and as the months went on i was like what wasi doing ? what did i lose ?

Frank vomiting blood became normal for me

If your not ready to give up just yet thats your choice were here ready for when you do

I implore you to give up today reap the benefits of sobriety are you happy drinking ?

I think we can choose our 'bottom'...we can choose the point at which we say 'enough'.

I think you're ready Frank - you wouldn't be here if you weren't?
