Guest f***2f*** Report post Posted September 24, 2011 This takes an enourmous amount of courage. You have taken the first step which is to admit that you have a problem If you haven't learned this prayer yet they will no doubt give it to you in the program. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Detox first but you will need the twelve steps (AA)....one day at a time...keep coming back! You Go Girl!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capitalman 3861 Report post Posted September 25, 2011 I see the world a little differently Angel Starr....... I've personally known many people that have not made it and are six feet under now. The odds are against you....you have to want it and fight for it. They say if you give 'er, then: - You're going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. - That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. - You will comprehend the word serenity and you will know peace. - Your whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. - Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave you. - and a whole lot more..... You can do this, yes you can. Believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drlove 37204 Report post Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Monday is day #1... One of my clients through work is an alcoholic. We were discussing things, and he held up his one day sobriety chip from AA. He said, "this is the most important chip of all - it keeps me grounded", even though he had just received his one year medallion. You know what? he was absolutely right. Just take things one day at a time Angel, one day at a time... You can do this, I know you can. I believe in you.

Kubrickfan 12836 Report post Posted September 25, 2011 Angel -- From someone who actually had a counseling internship in a VA hospital treating patients with alcohol addiction, this is going to probably be one of the tougher things you do in your life. But if you invest the time into the program and do it right, you should get a lot out of it, and that's important to you and your loved ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
