Hi
 
I've not been posting for a while but not really been managing. Just called a rehab place and getting admitted this week. Ruined too many things to ignore this any longer x

I really hope this is the start of something great for you Gable :)

That’s really good to hear that you’re getting help Gabe. I’m with Dee, hopefully it’s the start of a new better way forward ❤️

Good choice Gabe. Good luck!

Stick with it. Follow up with the rehab place daily if you need to, you can do this!

Prayers! Quitting hurts like hell. Physical and mental.

When I was actively addicted I remembers telling myself I would have just 1 snort.

Then I would say just one more. Then I would lose count by accident on purpose.

Then the bottle would be nearly half empty and I'd be wasted.

I would be trapped in my house, because I dare not drive.

Then the wife would be pissed at me.

I would binge eat and pass out.

Wake up with a raging hangover and craving booze.

Nightmare.

Quitting this long took suffering and time.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I'm waiting for a call back but hopefully Friday x

GABE!!
You are making a very powerful decision for your life. I truly admire your strength and determination to get well. You can do this. Rehab does not mean defeat. In fact, It means that you are taking the reigns and giving yourself a chance to make a permanent change in your life. You can sort out all the life details when the time is right. I believe in you, Gabe. I believe that you will get sober and you will be free from an active addiction. Sobriety is not linear for a lot of people. I struggled with my own active alcoholism for over 10 years. It was exhausting but I never surrendered or gave up trying. YOU ARE AMAZING, GABE! Keep on fighting the good fight and know in yourself that you will overcome this.

You are so brave, Gabe! I'm so proud of you! :hug:

Gabe,

This is really good news. :)

No need to be frightened - you're going to boot camp with a bunch of people who are in the same predicament you are.
In a setting that allows you to learn about yourself in a very intense way, should you choose to do that.

We'll be back home rooting for you.

Gabe, good for you.

I think you can do anything you decide to do.

Anna 11-10-2021 07:01 AM

Gabe, I'm sorry you've been struggling and I'm really glad that you're heading to rehab. Keep in touch when you can and I hope things go well for you.
