I swear if it were court order I would not go through it and just give up. I resist if I'm told to do anything, especially something as serious as recovery. Relapse is being human and hopefully a learning tool.
Charlie - your turn, you won't feel gross anymore; be there 100 percent for kids and family. It will save your life too! Be healthy!
thank u both!my days are filled with 60-70% court ordered folks who don't think they have a problem and keep coming back and back and back.My fav is a Recovery Group i do on thursdays.Very motivated folks.Some relapse and we say ok what did u learn fron that and move 4 ward.Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and xpecting diff results!i'll help anyone who wants to get sober.So i'm digging the conversations and seeing people MOVE in2 a sober zone.So glad i stumbled in2 this forum as well.U go dark with the no booze .....GO GO GO!
Yep, everyone is here is supportive and what I consider good friends. No saint here, just trying to survive for day 14, ( 2 weeks off booze ). Wow, world record. I don't feel gross, no headache...etc.
Sounds good. I'm glad you stumbled here.

No dark is NO saint.....oxymoron there dark the saint....hahaha dark...No girl this forum is not part of my counseling job!that stops when i leave work!When i open up my own biz which will be retirement it will be pet sitting and pooper scooping!What i tell u i practice myself.And i learn from those around me what works for them.I like to help those who want to stop chemically killing themselves like i once did.Saying in AA....u keep what u have by giving it away!this forum exists to support and motivate each other.I was in another thread learning...and stumbled....soberly so..in2 this one!
Ibizan, Great story. Thanks for sharing. I've never had a problem doing things alone either. I love to do things by myself. I would rather.
It's really nice of you to encourage us so much. Is this board part of your counceling job? Either way, you give great advice and you have really pushed me to at least motivate. Maybe you should open your own business. I bet you would do well.
Dark, hope your hanging in there. I'll be going through it myself very soon. You ain't no saint but you have become my friend. It's nice.
