The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!
Just want to add my :colorwelcome: to Rita Mary & Techie
There is a wealth of information & support here - just take all you need & then ask for more...
The Supps are a massive help I think. Our dear bodies have been running on empty half the time & suffering from alcohol poisoning the rest. They need all the help they can get in order to get into a healing gear. I for one am having to re-learn feeding myself & lots of other daily basics.
Hypnotherapy is a brilliant tool to help in starting 2 retrain the brain. I also use regular relaxation/motivation audios. Especially nice 2 drift off 2 sleep to....
As has been said tho, we need to WORK these tools as part of a pro-active plan. We've hit on a gardening theme here today. So maybe imagine you are the garden - that you're GROWING in2 ur recovery.
The supps & CDs are like the shovel, fork, watering can & wheelbarrow - you need to use them, work them regularly & that takes effort. The plants that you will grow are your new thinking patterns. They grow a little every day with the right nourishment. Who knows, maybe in 3 weeks they will be as big & strong as T's tomatoes !!!
If you're half-hearted about this though, the weeds of doubt will soon take over & you could get stuck & stay stuck. Some stay stuck forever. I understand ur feelings of sadness at losing the comfort that booze can sometimes bring. But I'm sure if ur honest you'll agree it is a shallow, temporary comfort.
If you never taste the freedom that sobriety gives you, you have nothing to compare being a drunk to. I hope you give yourself the benefit of the doubt & go for a full month AF. Step into your garden, enjoy its fruits, its shade & the birdsong. Then decide 4 urself which feels most comforting...
