It is a totally different world in there; one that has its own time. Sounds like you are right where you oughta be, physically and emotionally. All good.

So I've now been tapered off the detox meds and reality hit me like a bus. Cried and cried and cried.

Two really good groups and a lot of helpful chats with the staff. Time to learn, to act and to rebuild. To find out who I really am. This is exhausting!

Out of isolation tomorrow, so I think that will give me a lift. I'm going for a walk! Can't wait.

Love to you all :hug:xxx

Oh Gabe, so much emotion pours out huh? :hug: s
I am so very glad you are in a safe and caring environment. :)

Excited for you for the walk tomorrow! :) ❤️❤️

Thank you lovely lady! ❤️

Gabe, enjoy your walk, and I'm glad things are going well.

Those tears are healing tears.

They have to come out to make space for joy and recovery Gabe. :grouphug:

Hey Gabe, I'm may say I'm sorry you cried, but that's actually awesome. Get your feelings out, crying is one way of doing it.
You're progressing, buddy. Expect exhaustion in early recovery. Otherwise, it wouldn't really make any sense.

... What I hope (and what I've experienced at rehab) is that your real self will come through - You'll feel a lot more confident, less depressed, and that's exactly what rehab is all about.

When you get close to the end, let me know, and I'll let you know about the mistakes I made, that you won't.

Thanks so much everyone - and Polaroid, that would be awesome xx

You're getting free of it - no wonder you're emotional. So proud of you, Gabe.

Big move today. Gone from complete isolation to being part of the group. Busy schedule and really enjoyed the meeting tonight.

Tears have dried and nervous but excited about what's coming. Still very tired but that's okay.

9 days sober! :dance1:

Just more happiness. :)

I cannot help but think of the past few years and how hard it has been for you....you wanted this so much, but it seemed like such a big leap.
And now you have taken the plunge into your new life and I just couldn't be happier for you. :hug: ❤️

That is exactly how I feel. I know it'll be a lot of work but I so up for it. I could never go back now to how it was. Lots of love and thank you, as always, for your support ❤️

venuscat 11-21-2021 01:16 PM

Grateful to be here. Grateful to be your friend. Sorry, too much mooshiness. :) ❤️

Hevyn 11-21-2021 02:00 PM

Gabe - It's so good to read of your enthusiasm for what lies ahead. I spent too many days feeling sorry for myself & thinking of what I'd be missing out on. What a fool I was. :irked: It's great that you can post & we can follow a bit of your journey.
