This time last week

Last Sunday I was laying on a gurney, having a nervous breakdown, sicker than I've ever been in my life. Today is not perfect, but I have hope for the future. I just wanted to thank all of you for being here. When the wagon wheels get wobbly, it's truly a miracle there is a group like this to turn to, and I'm really grateful.

So glad to hear things are looking up.
Funny how some sober time really helps, doesn't it?

Glad to hear from you BAMF. The good part is the longer we stay sober the better we feel. Thanks for posting.

I'm starting to remember how good it felt when I was doing well, working my program, not lying to myself. The other side of the dual diagnosis is still there, but now I just feel like a fool for trying to put out a fire by pouring gasoline on it.

I'm right there with you. Last weekend was my withdrawal weekend, too. Amazing what this week has done.
Keep it up!

I'm so glad that you are starting to feel better, and you have a week of sobriety under your belt.

It gets better, the longer you're sober. Give yourself some more sober time and see how much better life can be.

A little over one year ago on January 16, 2015 I was detoxing in a hospital. On my actual one year anniversary date, I got the privilege to go back to that hospital for an institution commitment and share my experience to help the still suffering alcoholic/addict.

This commitment was something I hadn't planned. God does nothing by accident.

Keep fighting<3
