Hi Dorsey:

I have 17 yrs of sobriety and am bipolar. When I go into a depressive cycle is when I want to use. That is what we do, we want to change the way we feel by using drugs or alky. What I do, which is way hard, is reach out no matter how bad I don't want to. I ended up suicidal in Feb of this year and landed myself sober and in treatment. The docs regulated my meds quickly and here I am 6 months later still sober. When I tell another person that I want to use, it takes a little of the power out of it. Also, my Higher Power only wants good for me, it is when I take matters into my own hands that I screw up. I hope you use this relapse as a learning experience and continue on your journey of sobriety. SOBRIETY ROCKS, EH? PM me anytime I am here.

Love,
Radar
