hey Gabe,
we’re all here, all rooting for you!
and i hope that along with trepidation, you will get a tiny bit of relief from having written the fact of the sexual assault out here; carrying it around in silence is too heavy.

Ahh geez, no need to apologize!! You are in the middle of the fight of your life. All of us offer our thoughts and we come from different angles. All we all care about is you finding a way to get off of the stuff. We’re here for you no matter what!

I don’t know if it will help, but I will pray that you will find a way to treat yourself how you deserve to be treated. I couldn’t recommend the help of AA more. But we all have our own path to walk. It breaks my heart to hear you suffering.

That's a good sign Gabe. You got a long road ahead of you (that you don't have to walk alone) but the worst is over.

Oh this is good news, Gabe. I am so happy for you that this is the last time you will ever need to feel like this. A bath is just the thing. If you can muster the energy, change your bed linens today, too.

Sending healing vibes your way, Gabe. When I went through withdrawals, I tried to visualise them as just the storm to be ridden out, before the calmer waters were reached. Distration helped me too, reading, You Tube videos on addiction and overcoming it. You CAN do this! x

Thank you everyone for posting.

I am so ill today. It honestly feels like I spent the last few days being processed by the devil. I feel really freaked out.
