I agree with Demeter here.....she's got the right idea absolutely. It IS an opportunity...and you ARE capable.....believe it. If the problem is alcohol then I don't want to hear one more fucking word about self-control.....because that is NOT what addiction is about and that kind of thinking will keep you down on yourself rather than seeking the right kind of help. Please PLEASE do not listen to idiots who tell you that all you have to do is "learn to say no" because they do not have ONE SINGLE clue what's going on.

Go to the meetings. Grab onto the people there. They are TERRIFIC. I glued myself to those folks for MONTHS after rehab.....I was terrified to be by myself because I was so afraid I would go back to my old lifestyle. They LITERALLY taught me how to live sober in a world I hadn't seen that way for 20 years.

Do it. It IS worth it. And so are you. :thumbsup:
