There's Still A Seat For Me...

I was very active on this forum a few years ago when I was really giving my sobriety a go. Well the last three years have been absolute torture. I'm not even sure where to begin...

Hospitalized for pancreatitis
Multiple visits to ER for medical detox
Six month inpatient rehab where I got kicked out for drinking
60-day inpatient rehab completed successfully
Drank again on day 89
Ten days sober today

I absolutely HATE this disease. I have been doing a lot of self reflecting and sometimes I think back to before I was actively drinking and want to be that person again (knowing what I know now).

I say all of that to say, I'm back and I'm glad that there's always a place for me here. I have always felt the support and compassion from all of you.

Very glad you are back here, and made it through all of that. I can relate to some of those specific consequences of my drinking.

Look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome back! I joined this site in 2012, and had my last drink12- 31-15, it has been one of my greatest supports. You should join the January 2019 class, and also the 24 hour recovery thread, both will be great supports.
