Hello everyone, I’m back! It’s been a really tough couple months. My health took a really hard turn for the worse. The doctors told my family to prepare for my death! The road to recovery has been really hard. I almost slipped back to drinking a few times because I felt so much despair. I’ve been really depressed because of this but I’m slowly getting back to myself. I will be going on disability because of this and that is really hard for me because I love working but my lungs are so damaged from being on a ventilator for 3 months. A little back story, I had Covid and pneumonia at the same time, I had to learn to walk again. I was in a medically induced coma for 3.5 weeks. It was horrible but I’m still alive so that’s all that matters

You’re exactly right. It was just the feeling of absolute fear that I wasn’t going to make it. I don’t remember a lot of what happened to me. I wanted to drink because of the fear and despair, that voice came back telling me to drink but I worked the program and stayed sober. I’m not letting that demon back into my life. I’m 3 and a half years sober and I’m stronger than that demon.

It’s been a real struggle but I’m still alive and still sober. I have the doctors and nurses, my family, my best friend and my Higher Power to thank. I couldn’t have come this far without them. I was in the ICU for three months.

My god, welcome back here and so glad to hear you’re on the road to recovery after what you’ve been through! You survived and now you have to find out how to make a life again. It’s going to be tough for sure but I’m sure there’ll be lots of gratitude, moments of connection and belonging there also, look out for those and feel how loved and lucky you are.
Congratulations also on your sobriety, drink sure has no place in this tale at all!
Very best wishes!
