Just an update!!

After almost 4 years trying to get sober in AA and then this pill thing, I FINALLY, FINALLY accepted my PTSD, got a prescription that is actually FOR me to help with my symptoms, and have been clean and sober for 2 weeks today!

I wanted to do it "on my own" and was just shooting myself in the foot. It was hard, hard, hard, hard for me to accept that I have PTSD, that the events in my life were actually that bad, that I was unable to deal with them without help.

Now that I've accepted that, and I have a medication that helps, I feel so different. Hopeful, for one thing. And without a need to self-medicate anymore.

It was a long road to get to this point - A LONG ROAD - but I'm grateful I finally made it here.
