You Can do it!!! So stoked in you for taking these first excruciating steps, it takes massice courage and fortitude to even try and quit much less make it 9 days, i believe in you!!! NAs are a lifesaver, but dont be afraid to talk to a psychiatrist if once you get past the withdrawals and cravings (they do drastically deminsh over time fr fr) to find out what you were self medicating for with alcohol. It took me far to long to take that step personally. Godspeed random internet stranger!!!!!
hey thankyou so much I just got off the phone with my sponsor 1hr call gearing up for step 4, my backup plan if everything goes to shit, general encouragement and gratitude. I saw a psyche a few days ago, he thinks I have ADHD, both kinds of ptsd anxiety and chronic depression. bunch of new meds, increased doses etc, if I clear a urine test he'll trial stimulants. worth a try. hope to one day get away from all meds but right now I need all the help I can get. godspeed to you dear stranger.
