Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time, CH. I hope things get better for you.
Congratulations keep up the great work staying sober.A week without a drop of alcohol so far.
That's great. Keep going!8 weeks today.
thanks
even with 2 years, and 1 and a half months, I'm in physical pain and can't cope well with it
^^
CH- physical pain is incredibly difficult. I'm so sorry you are dealing with it.
I've been there.
I wish I could do something besides advising taking a genetic test (which I do if you can).
All I can say is that obviously pain affects mental health and ADs are neuroprotective as well as alleviating at least some symptoms of depression.
And that I really admire your sobriety with all its own effects. Keep up the good fight!!
Thank god for the recovery center that I'm at because the holidays do not sit well with me, I'm sure a lot of yal can relate to being early in sobriety and not being really welcome around the family, well thats the case for me. I'm glad in a way that I'm in rehab to for the holidays because I have the chance to be with my fellow brothers on Christmas, and I'm almost certain that they are feeling the same type of way as I'm feeling.
I'm glad to see one of my bluelight friends from the lounge is in recovery ! thats really awesome!!
If I don't take a drink for the next 3 days then I will have 120 days sober, and this is the first time in my entire life that I am doing something about my life.
Today I am making my commitment to you guys and my higher power that I will not take a drink of alcohol or take a drug. just for today!!
^^CH- how's it going? I assume you staunched the bleeding (ouch!)
CH: Glad you feel better.
Thanks for asking I'm actually fairly good. Psychological PAWS is awful. I get thrown off really easily, BUT I met a swimming goal I set for myself and feel great right now.
