Starting Over I have been in turmoil for a couple of weeks. Relapsed badly. I am very afraid. I fear I am going to lose everything. I just cannot get out of my own way. I have not seen my sponsor ina couple of weeks. I have to break it to him about my relapse. Dreading that. I think I need to go into rehab. I feel doomed. I am so mad at myself. |
hey Horn, you are not doomed. take the actions, starting with getting back on track with sponsor and stepwork if that is the path you have chosen to follow. good to see you back, Horn. |
Rehab might be a good idea. |

You've got several good ideas there Horn. Call your sponsor and check out some rehab options around you. Being afraid is a natural and proper emotion to be feeling right now - you're literally playing games with your life. You know what do to - you just have to do it. Why not make today the first day of your new, better, sober life? |
I'm sorry you're still struggling Horn - but the sooner you follow one of those ideas through, the sooner you can move past the nightmare. Rehab might be the way to get you started and get a few good ideas - then you can work out what to do from there don't stint on your recovery work - you'll get back exactly what you put in :) D |
Hi Horn. I understand how tough it is starting over. But you can do this. Start putting the things in place you know work. I'm sure support from your sponsor will be a good place to start too. Best wishes to you. Gabe xx |
Rehab does sound like it would be a very solid option. I'd make some phone calls in the morning and see what arrangements can be made to get you into a facility and to put the madness down for good. |

I think I need to go into rehab good! i hope ya get into action lining it up before an excuse gets in the way-amy winehouse did that. |
Hey Horn, glad you're back. I was wondering if you were doing well. Just for today, pour your drink out, get on the phone and make your arrangements. Action plan, go forward with positive intentions - just for today you can do it! Sending you prayers and hugs. |
Come on Horn. You've got plenty of us here rooting for you. You should have reached out before you picked up. You have the toolbox to get straight. |
Ok Horn you have a good plan in getting help in rehab. Start the ball rolling today so you can begin your healing process. Never ever give up as you really want to quit so hang in there. Let' s get this done because we're all pulling for you. You can do this partner! |
Bite the bullet Horn and go to rehab, it might save your life and your marriage and everything else. Surrender/acceptance, it becomes much easier. You're fighting what for most of us is a losing battle. Rooting for ya. |
Have you started over yet Horn? :dunno: D |
