365 days = One Year clean!!

[littlebit667]

Two or so years ago I began lurking here as I knew I had a problem and was not sure how to fix it.  My personal and work life had become unmanageable. I did not recognize myself anymore.  I was sinking further and further into addiction and was scared.  How did I get here and why??  I read and researched and finally decided I needed to admit to my addiction and ask for help.  Boy, did I get it!

I jumped into detox and for awhile did well.  I relapsed.  I disappeared for a bit from this forum and hid from myself.  

I still lurked and hoped to gather myself again to face detox yet one more time!

I posted and again received help and tough love and support.  

I finally listened!   I told my hubby, I told my daughter, I told my son and finally I told my doctor my secret!  

It was the hardest thing I have ever done and also the one thing that saved me from myself.  

One year ago I admitted I needed help.  

I want to thank everyone here who stepped up to the plate and listened to me as I again went through withdrawals.

What am I today??  I am a mother, a wife, and a survivor.

I love you cried, but I think I would like your smile better!  Thanks for everything.

Sweetheart you always make me smile.  You are so much more of a survivor than I could ever be.  You helped me so much as did many others here!  Hugs always!
