thanks. i'm trying to be. i found staying clean through february relatively easy but i'm already genuinely surprised i've made it this far through march. its not that i want to use its that i don't want to face the damage i've done and i know i can escape it forever. that same feeling made me very reluctant to go to rehab and start recovery.
over the past few days i've done more reaching out for help off my own bat than i've ever done before so that's something.
i'm so glad i'm going on holiday in a week.
someone on Friday night said, approximately 'if the literature didn't say that recovery is available to any addict, i'd have called you a hopeless case because you were just so off key,' he the complimented me on my progress and gave me a lot of encouragement but its fucked with my head a bit. my head would love for me to be a hopeless case, so that i can just go back to using and die as quickly as possible not to draw out everyone's pain. but even having that insight instead of twisting it to convince myself i am a hopeless case is progress.
