I’m decided for treatment Hello, At the end of September, after 15 months of sobriety, I relapsed. During November I drank heavily. On the 2nd of December, while severely drunk, I collapsed on the sidewalk, broke my nose and got several bruises. Fortunately two passsers-by called an ambulance and that night I got detox in hospital. The following day, I decided Im going for treatment. Now I am at the end of the withdrawal period (the most difficult I’ve ever had) and have an appointment fixed with a doctor and a therapist. However, I need psychological support from the support groups and decided to join this forum. |
Welcome. That's quite a story, and quite the motivation to get sober for good. Sorry you had to go through that - but glad you have come out the other side. There is lots of help here. Ps I have relapsed twice. This is my third attempt. So you're not alone. |
Glad you are here with us. I have relapsed too many times. It seems like I will never get it right. You will find lots of help and support here at SR. |
Make your sobriety the most important thing in your life. Because it is. Best wishes for you on your journey! |
Beginning with family stepping in to place me into the hands of those capable of teaching me about my alcohol addiction and a program of recovery to incorporate in all my affairs, my journey living addiction free began on August 11, 1990. Those first 28 days in rehab allowed the seed of hope that if others before me could and would remain sober and incorporating the tools and knowledge of an effective program continuously, then so could and would I. With continuous sobriety for the past 27 yrs, I remain teachable to grow and mature into the best person I can possibly be today. I'm not perfect nor wish to be, but I do strive to live with purpose and meaning in my daily life. Admitting I am an alcoholic then accepting that alcohol will never ever work for me and believing that I can live a sober life clearing away the wreckage of the past and learning each day to build a strong solid foundation with tools and knowledge of my addiction and incorporating an effective program of recovery in my everyday life, then I could and would remain sober each day moving forward, then so can you. We never have to go thru anything in life alone or by ourselves because the fellowship of recovery will always be there to help you with every step you take to achieve health, happiness and many more wonderful gifts to cherish and never take for granted along the way. :) |
