Hey all! Can't believe you guys noticed I was gone! But how awesome of you! I was very sick from the bac, then very busy while still sick from bac. Crazy powerful nausea. But stuck with it, despite having to ask my mom to pull over so I could vomit on the side of a road. I still think my family (with the excpetion of my dad, who has actually read the studies I sent him) thinks it a little odd that I'm putting myself through this, but they're also just happy I'm doing anything proactive about my drinking. My cousin shared a room with me while I was at home, ans said I was snoring something awful, sounded to her like sleep apnea. I've read about this happening to others. Guess the bac's doin its thing. I'm up to 100 mg, and very excited. I've found that dividing the doses like everyone's been telling me to do the whole time, really dose help with the s.e.s. That said, I do feel nauseaous now after taking a whole 25mg pill instead of splitting it. Damn my laziness.
So it was another successful trip home, even though I did drink some after everyone had gone to sleep. After years of being sullen, withdrawn, and generally no fun to be around with my family, I'm pushing myself to be a better, less self-obsessed daughter and sister. My family kept remarking upon on how nice it was to "have me back". That means the world to me. My youngest sister is now two years sober and talked about how much she's grown and learned in that time. It excites me and scares me. I'm gonna have a lot to deal with once I get clean.
Enough about me.
Congrats evey! Your story inspires me and gives me hope.
Zephra, sorry you're having a rough time. Lemme know how the accupuncture goes. That's one area of alternative medicine I haven't explored, and my boyfriend suffers from excrutiating knee pain that nothing else has worked for.
Hey ruby! Missed talking to you, and hope all's well. I was glad when you mentioned smoking "something special". I've wondered what people here feel about that. My dad and sister who are both in AA smoke from the minute they wake up (dad can grow legally cause of his cancer). That's not my plan, smoking all day, every day, but it seems like a good way to chill out at night. Especially since I have access to free, sweet homegrown.
God, this was long, and I didn't say nearly everything I wanted to. Guess I'll just have to post more often! Thanks again, everyone, for noticing when I disapeared. But know that even when I don't post, I'm always checking in and reading what you guys are up to.
Thanks again for being here. I plan to be AF before my 31st birthday in July, and, if it happens, I'll owe it to all of you.
