Shaking some but finally am trying to get back in the rooms. I at one time done all 12 steps and even sponsored. Sliped and I tell you I was sicker than ever before. One day at a time I know. Take care.
Welcome back Buckeyebear, It does not get any better when we drink. But we get fooled somehow into thinking it will be. We alcoholics are a stubborn lot.
I know how the detoxing is after being sober now for 13 days today. I do not want to go back to that ever again. Use this as your foundation to get well. I am using mine. When I have had thoughts here and there about drinking or going to places, hanging with people and doing things I think of the hangover and it stops the thoughts dead in there tracks.
And I feel the pain and replace it with doing things that are healthy even if it is just in my thoughts of thinking well thoughts. It works.
Good luck dear soul. I am glad you are here. Rosie
Hi-glad you are back. I hope you keep writing-it helps me to hear from people who have gone back out. I have about two and a half years. I away from home and tried to catch a meeting this morning but found an empty clubhouse. That is ok. I know I am not going to drink today.
I came back just under 9 months ago after going back out for nearly 4 years and I was in a heck of a state when I got back. It took me 4 days in bed to detox and months to get my body anything like well, infact its still not 100% but getting there.
Please keep posting and sharing your E,S & H with us.
