I don't even know how that feels. Well, I do but it hurts. Bad. I remember when I used to be sober all the time...back when I was 14 years old. Terrible, I know, but that's the last time I was sober for longer than 3 days straight, even longer. It's depressing. I want to make Tyler proud. He makes me so happy...and I want to make him proud in return.
I'm going to start my journey of sobriety. I need to. I have college this august and I know I have to be drug free in return if I want to be fully successful. I love my family and I love my friends...and Tyler, who's my best friend AND my boyfriend...I want to be perfect and sober for them. I know Perfection isn't real but I still strive for it...I want to be the most perfect I can be for myself as well as others. Wish me luck, it's going to be very hard. |

darla, i've watched you struggle with sobriety. i offer you hope that you can do this. none of us found it easy at first to obtain sobriety. each day sober gives us strength for the next day. just take it a day at a time, a minute at a time if need be. you will know a new happiness. lean on us for support. we care about you.
i'm glad you are willing to change your life for the better. you will never regret it.

Hi Darla ~ I too have watched you struggle for sobriety. I know how hard this is. I drank HEAVILY for 20 years ~ and when I hit bottom, I called AA. They saved my life. I would be dead now if it hadn't been for them.
AA might not be for you ~ but don't try to do this alone. You DO need a support system. This is VERY hard to do alone. You need someone to call on those nights when the cravings get to be too much -- when you feel you just can't take it anymore. I used my "call-list" that AA gave me many a time, and someone was always there to talk me out of taking that first drink of the night. Living sober is so much more exciting that living drunk and depressed. I've never had so much fun in my life!! I don't know how I found the TIME to drink. LOL You CAN do this, Darla -- with support. God bless you, and please take care. Hugs, Lee |
