Well...FABba-gabbers....I'm off working in the BUSH this week, but thrilled I have a warm, comfy place to sleep with WIFI! Woot! Today, it is raining hard and we were scheduled to go on a 'field trip.' Hmmmm. Thinking that's not gonna happen - I hope! I don't like wet and cold. I am a wilderness wimp. And a wilderness whiner. LOL!
Been catching up on ABland and am relieved you are not giving up, Porquoi. There is no judgement here. No disappointment. Alcohol is a toxin that changes the brain processes in some very fundamental ways. Addiction is the most obvious result. Depression and anxiety are part of the physiological cause-effect continuum, too.
Right now - you are doing the gritty, messy work of breaking free of addiction. It really is the toughest battle most of us will ever fight. You got knocked down, but you are back up - not willing to give up. You truly won that round. You have earned yourself some well-deserved HOPE. You CAN do it. And you can do it without antibuse. You have already found your source of strength and inspiration in the words of your son. And most importantly, you WANT to be free of addiction. You have friends here who will help you along. If you have any alcohol left...you know where it needs to go - down the sink. The kitchen plumbing will deal with it better than your plumbing. Your body is already repairing itself.
Shue-b-dooo! I am very impressed with your holiday plan. VERY impressed. You really have learned a whole lot about this process AND yourself. You are a great model for dealing with stress without pouring a toxin down your throat to blotto the brain.
Whew...there's so much more I want to say but I gotta go and work. Hugs and power to all of you....
Oh and before I go....
I believe today marks a whopping 6 month milestone for our friend Flyaway!
180 days of healing and freedom is remarkable. Flyaway, by george and by forge.....You've GOT it! Keep soaring, friend!
