to the Community Drugs Team for a treatment programme.
Has anyone in the UK had any experience of these? I feel like utter ****, I have totally failed myself this year. I can't believe I've pushed it this far  What an idiot!

BabyG, I'm not from the UK so I can't give you any feedback there. You are not an idiot. You have NOT failed yourself--you are dealing with your drinking issues so that means you are moving forward. Drinking or drugging is not a sign of failure...its just something we've done. The important part is that we choose to do something about it--that makes us a success!

I am not is the UK but I went to a treatment program in the US and I loved it. It was successful for me as I have not had a drink or a drug since besides a few little slips on pot.

I just had a chat with one of my closest sober friends, who shared his philosophy on referrals to treatment. He said that one has a choice on how to see the referral--one can take it as a punishment or as a judicial gift certificate
 I have many friends who got the "judge nudge" and whose lives really blossomed because of it. Sobriety can be the best time of your life if you let it be. Godspeed.

  Hello there BabyG. YES YES YES, I AM from London so that's where we are the same hun so don't worry. I'm going through a community drugs and alcohol programme NOW, so I can help you right through this time which is obviously causing you much anguish. Please do stop stressing over this, it's honestly not anywhere as bad as you think. I'm 55 years old and this is my second ''go'' round in 4 years, it may or may not be my last one. I say that as I have full blown Borderline Personality Disorder which brings with it some awful symptoms, suicidal depression and severe eating disorders to name a few. I feel good that I've kicked the secret boozing and strong painkiller taking every day, and the amount I was taking everyday was a huge overdose. You'll find help, security and FRIENDS here, this is a wonderful site and has saved my life often. Give us and give the programme a chance. HUGS.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
