7 years living in hell it all happened when my mother in law passed away 6 months before my father both cancer, a father in law who passed away a year later in a hotel room and didn’t get to say good bye and I lost a successful dog grooming business of five years all in a matter of a year after my in-laws and father died, we lost the house we were in my husband’s family home than having my 14 year old daughter tell me that I ruined her life and she hates me, a book she picked up was called girl in pieces…i started reading it and that day I phoned dextox. Was told I would wait up to 30 days and panicked and knew after an evaluation they knew I was critical care and I needed to get in and as soon as possible, and I’m getting in 2 weeks later when I walk through those doors I was terrified but I knew my life was going to change. Last summer I almost killed myself and my best friend I actually broke her back in a car accident due to drinking and driving I thought that that was my wake-up call we were sober for a hundred days and then we fell off the wagon and until I walked through those doors to detox two weeks ago today I would still be drinking. Without taking that step to go and to detox I got the help I needed and the resources and The help by talking to people like all of you it keeps me going every day and I want to live now and live a sober life and I just want to congratulate you all on your sobriety and I look forward to meeting new people through this way of communication and I am also more than willing to look for a sponsor now within my area of AA because I’m learning that all of these essential tools that I now have such as I go to a course every day called ADP so addiction Day program or detox program and I’ve learned many more skills than I ever have or any resources or community like yourselves that I can come to and that is what’s going to keep me on track this time. Thanks for listening and happy sober weekend to you all.
