maybe I wasn't ready
Permalink  
 

to get my white chip... I laid in bed all night thinking about how I was going to go get vodka and sprite today... and I got up and that's exactly what I did. I did try to call my sponsor, but it was one of those things where I was going to call her, tell her what I was thinking and then do it anyway. I'm already feeling a little better... just that anticipation of buying it made me start to feel better. Right now I just don't care. I need something to make me feel better. Probably won't be around for awhile... I don't feel right posting much if I'm drinking... I want to isolate... my friend told me to go to the meetings even if I'm drinking but I don't feel right doing that...

Thanks for your honesty, Lisa. I do hope you continue to post here, though. You have helped me at times with your posting of 'where you are at'. It is a good reminder.


You have to do what you have to do.... for you. And if you do ever want to get sober, I hope it is for you and no one else.


We are all here for you, whenever you need us. Even if you are drinking. As alcoholics, it is what we do!!


Take care, Honey


Joni

Hi Lisa,

I really do hope that you will continue to keep posting here. There are a lot of folk here who care. As Joni said, we are all here for you.

Take care of yourself,

Carol

If you don't give up, it will happen.  I so agree with Phil.  It is you and only you who will know when you are ready.  Day by day, moment by moment, breath by breath.  It can only happen if you keep on going. 


I learned that either you do or you don't.  Simple as that.  You take good care of yourself.  Keep coming back.


With hugs/J0-Anne

Hi Lisa,


People do what they are going to do, no way around that, and if you have not made a decision about Recovery, then that is, what it is.


The open arms of AA, will always be there, without Judgement dear.  And if you want to Post on this Board, you are 100% free to do so.


If you decide to stop Posting as you said you might, please just know that I am going to miss you.


Love,  Toni
