Greetings All,
I'm going to my psychiatrist today...haven't seen her in 2-3 years....I love her! She's so smart and gives me good feedback on my feelings, thoughts and issues. I have seen her for depression and anxiety issues. Today I will tell her about my drinking problem, and hope to have a good and honest discussion about abs vs. mods, supplements and drugs. I've mentioned my drinking to her a few years ago... she suggested 30 days abs, and then try mods. If it didn't work, she recommended AA...said eventually I'd find a person I could relate to, and it would help. I wasn't ready to hear that then, tried 30 days abs, couldn't do it. Since I found this website in late May, I have found people I can relate to (so many stories like mine!), and have been able to abs for about 2 weeks at a time, w/o supps or drugs. I have a powerful will, if I can engage it, and I 'm pretty sure I'm ready to abs for a long time...I have a feeling she will have heard of this program, so hopefully, I'll "come out of the closet" and really get working on this debilitating habit.
I've read how many people are struggling with abs or mods...I' m proud to be a member of a group that communicates honestly about our problems, and works hard on resolving them. Personally, I'm not fond of Einstein's quote, which I hear over and over nowadays. It's because I work with people who are significantly mentally ill, and who do enter insanity at times....I believe Einsteins' quote would be more accurate as "The definition of ADDICTION is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
May I offer some words of encouragement from another genius whom I greatly admire?
"Everyone who wishes to gain true knowledge
must climb the Hill Difficulty alone,
and since there is no royal road to the summit,
I must zigzag it in my own way.
I slip back many times, I fall, I stand still,
I run my against the edge of hdden obstacles,
I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better,
I trudge on, I gain a little, I feel encouraged,
I get more eager and climb higher
and begin to see the widening horizon.
Every struggle is a victory.
One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud,
the blue depths of the sky,
the uplands of my desire."
