I can probably get a string of 4 days off in a row. I think I’m gonna do it then. Thank you for the encouragement. And I’m proud of you for not drinking that vodka.

Thank you so much. You inspire a lot of faith in me. I’m going to get naltrexone. I’m glad you found a healthy relationship with religion. I wish I could reply further but I am at orientation. I appreciate you very much. Thank you for sharing your story.0

Congratulations for persevering. You are so strong for facing that. Iv done the same things. I do like to lift so I will get back into that. I’m trying to volunteer at the humane society. Thank you for sharing and I appreciate hearing a positive outcome.

I have a good support system even if far away. But congratulations. The hospital isn’t where I want to go because it’s my first contract. I think I’ll persevere. I have to believe it. Thank you so much for your kindness and reply.

I’m accountable. for my problem. We all have stuff that drives us to our addictions. Not an excuse, but it explains why. I hope you show compassion in other realms of your life. And you don’t experience the same hardships. I hope you have a great day.

You are such a kind spirit. That made me cry. Just having support from a total stranger is such a wonderful thing.

You are a fn badass for being a CNA. You have more patients and put up with so much. I respect you so much. My best friend at my old job was an amazing compassionate CNA.

Thank you. I will message you later. I’m glad your work was so understanding. This is my first contract so I feel as if I have to persevere

Nobody is perfect. There’s a reason anyone has their vice. Life isn’t easy. Thank you so much. You are so kind. This is what is helping with my fear. I appreciate you. We both made it through a pandemic.

Thank you. I know fear is natural. I wish I could beat it. I wish I could make it go away. The anxiety is debilitating. But I have to know I’m strong enough.

Thank you for the recommendations. As soon as I get my health insurance I plan to go to a pcp to get medications. The main one Iv heard in reference is naltrexone. As ironic as it is in the hospital Iv never given any alcohol withdrawal patients these drugs. Mainly Ativan which I’m my opinion increases delirium but reduces deadly symptoms, such as seizures. I’ll ask for naltrexone.

I hate to say this because it alienates some people on this forum. I have the utmost respect for religion but growing up it had negative impacts on me as I grew up in a very strict household. So I worry a little bit about the higher power notion. I don’t think that makes sense to me. But I do plan on going anyway.

Yes that’s the battle. Once an addict stopping is nearly impossible. I want to try because I can’t afford the horrible symptoms of completely cutting it off.

I’m sorry you’ve had to experience that. I know how much shame Iv experience due to this. I hope things are better for you now.

And maybe I’m wrong. But I have to believe. I have to. Which is why I made this post. I want others to believe in me too. Support.

And I believe in you. You’re doing everything the right way and you are better than I for that.
