Hi billiej my therapist said also to look at the bridge of peoples noses when talking to them. Ive heard people say they feel like a rabbit in the headlights when they first come into recovery and thats kind of how I feel. I cant drink and take the amount of benzos I did without doing some damage and I know its early days for me but people keep saying I will get better, I must believe them because I keep going
Posting on here is really helping also because I can talk about things I wouldnt have the guts in normal life and get good advice. Thanks for replying and your kind words

I have been without alcohol and street drugs for about 20 years, but can't claim sobriety, as I still use pills for pain and to block out feelings. You are doing great, Fox!  billieJ |
