Better days
 

After having a few dark days the light is shining again. It scares me because alcohol made me so ill, I ended up in hospital and stayed there for nearly three weeks, on withdrawal meds, i was hallucinating and could not walk properly. NO ONE knew the extent of my drinking and that it had gotten to this level, apart from my daughter, which I have deep regret regarding putting her through what I did. BUT I am only now starting to feel proud of myself that when I have **** go on in my life, I have dark days but the light does shine if you stay strong. I was an addict beyond belief and even after becoming sober took a while for me to recognise this. This is why I can’t give in to my dark days. I will stay in control because once, I lost that to alcohol. I don’t how many days I’ve been sober but I haven’t had a drink since 24th February 2017.

That makes 8 days in Australia Cocojanie. Over a week!

I'm sorry you became so ill, it is truly terrible, I know. Doesn't have to be so anymore.

I'm finding now that when I get through the dark days I grow more strong. Proud.
And then comes the sun. ☀️

Keep it up Coco you will never regret it.

Amazing, well done you. Your daughter must be so proud of you!

Great work! Keep it up.

A great story to hear, back from the brink, well done!

Try not to let things overwhelm you cocojanie- all any of us can do is stay sober today - then back up again tomorrow :)

I looked it up and you are at 1101 days! That's pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing your story.

Trust me! I didn't read the YEAR you had stopped drinking Coco.

I re-read your post and saw a different swing in it. But I'm only 77 days sober and prone to brain freeze. Please forgive me.

My heartfelt congratulations on your recovery. ☀️

That is awesome! I love seeing positive recovery stories like this! You just had your 3 years!

My prayers and support to you, Coco.
