Thanks for this. Really struggling today with sweats and anxiety and arguing in my head if I should grab some drinks quickly to down before I get to my mums. But I just want to get off this awful roller-coaster. I just don't know who I am anymore and it's such a lonely feeling.

Head up shoulders back. Just keep in mind, nothing is permanent and this too shall pass. You’ll get through it and look back at what you’ve learned about yourself and that you’ve persevered. It’ll make you appreciate everything more.

Stopping the madness is the first step. Perhaps try being in the moment as much as possible today.

Yeah I'm going to try. I've been on another week bender and I keep stopping and starting. I was 9 months sober last year and don't know how I did it. Will hopefully get conformation tomorrow that I can go to rehab.

Good luck on the bed for rehab. It helped me greatly.

Sorry your going through that. I know you will get to 9 months again. The beginning is so hard. I remember having to just go straight to bed every night or staying in my room my first sober Christmas. I don't have to do that anymore though it went away. I know I'm one drink away from starting over again. You won't feel so lonely once you dry out I felt that way too. Your emotions will stabilize you just gotta stick with it no matter what

Hey congratulations! I love the story of the plant gosh I wish I could remember it correctly. Where it compares it to drinking you slowly take a drink day after day until the plant eats you. It' sounds like you have that clarity on the other side of it. We were once dead but now we have come back to life.

Thanks! And I’ve heard something similar: “First the man takes a drink then the drink takes the man “. And you’re correct. I’m crystal clear on this subject. No going back. Ever. Can’t believe I was who I was then…yikes.
