SnoozyQ

Hi, I've spoken to my doctor , as i cant get a guaranteed time for detox , i will be starting in home. I am just so grateful. He is on holidays , yet rang me at home.
OCTOBER 6th . In home treatment. My husband Shaun is taking that week off.
This is such a huge thing for me. I'm going to get well quicker than I thought.
many thanks and much love to my dear friend Phoenix , Pj for answering my call and talking me through things and guiding me in the right direction.
i am hopeful now. I know this is going to work.
I'm so looking forward to getting me back xxx

Thinking of you Dearest Snoozy, love you lots.

Anna

I'm so glad that you're feeling positive about this, Snoozy.

Same for me Snoozie. Each relapse became more difficult the older I got. The more relapses I indulged in. What used last 3-4 days recovery became 10 days. You'll be back on track soon Snooze go gentle on yourself.

That's awesome, Snoozy! I think you're on the right track.

That’s fantastic news Snoozy, I’m so happy for you. It is great that your husband is able to take the week off to be with you. I’m so glad PJ was there for you. He is someone who inspires me, he’s definitely a pretty incredible guy.

Thanks everyone ;-)
Delilah, i am very lucky sweetheart. He has been wonderful.

This time though, it's different. He can see how sick i am. I cant hide it this time because this is the hardest relapse I have ever had. I cant function with my day to day things.

I cant wait for it to be over and am counting the days to my in home detox.
i have been fortunate enough to speak to Phoenix as my support Person with no judgements. He has been a blessing as has Mags.

i havent been able to respond every day here as thats how hard this is.

BUT I WILL get through it , if any newbies read this, dont feel despondent, we can do this and get well together, because being well is the best thing ever. We get sick of being sick and I'm so over it.

sobriety is the best thing in life. Our health is everything. I am just so grateful for the help & support from my beloved friends and new friends here. For your kind messages, phone calls , pms, i just feel so blessed from your outpouring of love.

thanks for believ ing in me , i promise I will get there. So much gratitude .
If there are newbies who really wish to get well, let's do this together . I am here to support you as SOBRIETY is everything .

Dee & Anna, your tireless work here makes me so proud of you both. You responses mean the world to me with everything you have both been through and the unconditional love and support that you give to people ( like me ) who you have never met but make us feel as though you have .
Thanks so much xxx

Glad you had a good day, SQ. x

Ann

Snoozy, as you know, I come from the Codependent side of addiction, my son has been an addict for years. But I feel we both/all feel the same pain and walk the same path of recovery and need the same support. I am so glad you are doing this for yourself, and are leaving the past behind and taking the lesson with you as your path receives light and hope.

If none of us struggled, there would be no SR. If none of us recovered and shared our light with others, until they could find their own, there would be no SR.

SR saved my life, over 18 years ago. I too struggled with letting go but the life I have reclaimed is well worth living.

Yours is too, I promise you. The love on this thread from those who still struggle and those who found the good path and have managed to stay on it, including this Codie who rarely comes to these threads, should convince you how much we all care.

You CAN do it, just hang on to the support and love and look forward to better days and a better life ahead.

Hugs

Ann is absolutely right Snoozy, you CAN do IT, Bob style! I drank again after two and a half years, fell hard, extremely hard, but SR picked me up onto my sober-legs. This time around is my final time. I've learnt a hard, very hard lesson, that a 'thought' of a drink, no matter the dire circumstances in the outside world - does NOT, ever, have to be acted upon. Only I have control of my hands and my mouth, only I can pick-up a drink and raise it to my lips and drink. And I have decided, finally, never to perform that action again. My thoughts, AV, CANNOT make me drink: because my thoughts are powerless over my determination and will.

SnoozyQ

Tatsy, I am just so proud of your strong convictions.

you really make me feel determined , thanks so much for that my friend .

Ann you are a sweetheart for coming here and sharing that with me. Your openness to be able to help me with those wonderful words of wisdom it’s testament to your giving heart and why you are still helping others 18 years later.

I'm going into my second day detox, yesterday was horrendous . But needed to be done. We ALL need to get past that day one and go forward. I know my next 2 or 3 are not going to be pleasant, but bit by bit, I’ll get there.

i have a WONDERFUL addiction doctor monitoring me safely.

ive done it b4 I WILL do it again.

Thanks again everyone. I so lucky to have you helping me through this. I just want me back.

much love xxxx

Tomorrow is another day closer towards getting well.
