Hi, I'm Missy....I have been sober for 5 years. Life has been difficult for me sober...but, if I did not get sober when I did...I would already be dead for 4 years and 11 months...I KNOW THIS.
I reached a physical bottom with drinking...did not eat for 12 days, all I did was drink...I was seeing dead people....I was told by medical personel on the phone that I needed to find something with alcohol in it...I had to drink SCOPE...I drank scope..I made it to detox....I lived. I decided sobriety was going to come first (because I wanted to live). I got divorced...I am still going thru hell with my kiRAB....my best friend recently died....and I stayed sober...I don't know how...well, I went to AA.
Anyway, I like to help others....I'm very good at helping others...better than I am at helping myself. So, I look forward to reading and responding to your posts....:wave:
 
Welcome! I'm sure your perspective will be valuable here! Congratulations on your 5 years of sobriety. :)
 
Hey Thanks!
I'm a little confused around the boarRAB...but hopefully, it won't take me long.
Thanks again for the WELCOME!
 
Hi Missy
My name is Noelle, thanks for your story, congratz on your sobriety for 5 years that is truly amazing. I have a story too, I guess everyone here probably does, I was addicted to opiates it will be 4 years this Christmas, every Christmas is when I mark my one year because prior to that when I was on pills really bad it would break my heart ever year on Christmas day to know how sick I really was and to know in my heart I wasn't being the best Mother to my children and it would really hit me hard that another year had passed and there I was still *** up on pills. So I did it cold turkey , it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I also come from a long line of alcoholics in my family, I lived through alot of that most my life growing up and still today as an adult and a parent I am still going through it each day, it's really hard, I worry constantly, I also have a best friend battling from addiction, she's never gotten clean so I am there for her every day trying to help her and encourage her to let it go, it's a vicious cycle. I am here seeking support for a safe wean down from zanex, I do not abuse my medication, I was taking it over stress and severe grief , so now that i feel stronger I want to wean off it in a safe way , just looking for advice from others who have had to do that. I am also here to offer support to those battling addiction , I have been through alot , I know alot about addiction so I feel I can possibly help someone on here. I am not the best at putting worRAB together I tend to rarable as you can see lol....but I do mean everything I say with a full heart and sincere care and concern, I understand how it feels to be in that dark place, I am happy to be in the light now and I thank God every day.
It's great to meet you , I am glad for this area of support, it's very theraputic to write and share your feelings huh? Well again congratz and so glad to meet.

Thanks for your support
