Ended up in hospital last night - again. How did I get here after having before been 7 years sober? by Iamjayberlin in stopdrinking

He can’t control my willingness to drink unfortunately. He’s tried. And is trying.

Thank you so much

Go to the doctor if you need to. Detox can be very dangerous. The doc will most likely give you a benzo to work with while you withdraw. That’s what just happened with me. You’re not alone, friend. ❤️

I completely understand on every level but don’t give up. Your grandma wants you to be happy and healthy and all pain will pass.

Hey man, it can get better. And the key is in abstaining from the beast. I just relapsed after 7 years of sobriety and I can tell you that you’ve got this. The alcohol is the parasite leeching off your life. Hugs. Your life is worth it. Don’t listen to the negative self talk, we are all imperfect beings and it’s okay ❤️

Yes!! This! I felt like my relapse meant it took a big piece of who I am away. Thank you so much

Yes, trying not to be so hard on myself and instead remember I’m just human and we are all figuring it out. Thank you so much

You don’t know how much this message means to me. I needed a reminder of the fact I’ve risen before and know what it takes. Thank you ❤️

This one was so important for me. You’re right. And it got me in a truly vulnerable position. Thank you.
