Jess, I wondered how you were doing since we hadn't heard from you in a while. Sorry you are having a tough time but glad you are still working on it. I don't understand the detox center's actions at all - addiction is a mental health issue and psychosis is not rare during detox.

Tick tock - watching the clock. I probably won't stay up for it, but in 6 hours I could celebrate one year...

Yeah I wondered that too. I had a nurse ask me if I wanted her to call the hospital and put me in the ward the first night I was there but I thought I had to detox first. Then they kicked me to the curb, refused to call the hospital, sent me away in a cab without asking where I was going.

Congrats UpDownAround. You rock.

I'm going to force myself to go back to IOP today - I wimped out on the last few days. Then I see my councillor, and go for acupuncture. The acupuncture will be my reward for going.

One year!

I would like to say it flew by, but that would be a lie. It did get a lot easier after the first few weeks and even easier after a few months.

I am so frigging triggered to drink right now - bad news about my taxes from revenue Canada, ex-roommate pressuring me for money, and me feeling like a loser for not having money since I'm on disability. All hot buttons.

But I'm not going to drink. I'm home for the evening. I'm in my pj's already, and I refuse to call Dial a Bottle as I can't afford them. Plus I don't want to blow the few months sobriety I do have.

Just had to get it out.

Will do!

I did my 5th step on Saturday. Gonna meet with my sponsor this Friday to keep moving forward. I can't stall put like I have in the past. I've never gotten thru the 9th step, always stalled and relapsed.

It’s really up to...some people say absence from all drugs/alcohol is the way to go. But It depends what you see is true to you!

I can go months without anything. But then I try to 'bump' my mood and it starts all over again.

When will this cycle end?!

Over one year sober. But temptation is knocking on the door. If I drink, I die. It's that simple.

It gets easier after you start a NEW routine. 30 days is terrific.

Regardless of the substance. Absence is the essence of self control.
