Hi, first of all I’m sorry for your loss my friend. It’s unbelievable how lost we can get. We think in the beginning that the drinking helps us to deal with it all, all the grief and guilt but it makes it’s soooo much worse. We have to get to the point of realisation ourselves but once we do we see how lost we are. Our mums would be so proud of us for hitting this head on. Did you see the post a week or two ago that @Ravikamor put up? It’s a video of a doctor explaining why we get so stuck, it’s so worth a watch, I’ll put the link up for you to see it. It’s really interesting and I wish I’d seen it at the beginning of my journey….
Found It! A must see to understand addiction
I’m so proud to be on this journey with you! :pray:t2::two_hearts:

Hi,

I haven’t been to one. I had treatment through counselling a couple of years ago and I have been pretty well behaved since. However I hit the self destruct button again this last bank holiday which brings me back here! I hope your meeting goes well, I am sure it will :grin:

It’s this evening at 6 until 7 so will keep you posted. I’m meeting a lady who is taking me at 5 first so she can help me get over my nerves and so I don’t have to walk in alone

Have you ever taken this step before? Going to meetings I mean.
A good positive step. The very best of luck. Look forward to hearing how it went.

Never… it was only on Sunday which I admitted I had a problem… but I’m going to try to go to as many as I can for the first month. Thank you x

Enjoy your meeting later Claire, glad you have someone to go with :+1:

It was amazing! At the risk of sounding over dramatic, it was life changing. I even gave my story… and got my first medal!
