Topic: ~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
02/25 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Before we came to The Program, fear ruled our lives. Tyrannized by our addictions and obsessions, we feared everything and everybody. We feared ourselves and, perhaps most of all, feared fear itself. These days, when I am able to accept the help of my Higher Power, it makes me feel capable of doing anything I am called upon to do. I am overcoming my fears and acquiring a comfortable new confidence. CAN I BELIEVE THAT "COURAGE IS FEAR THAT HAS SAID ITS PRAYERS. . ."?
TODAY I PRAY
God grant that through faith in Him I may overcome my obsessive fears. I have been running scared for so long it has become a habit. God help me to see that I may be purposely clinging to my fears to avoid making decisions, perhaps even to shirk the responsibility of success.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Fear keeps me safe from risk-taking.

I was an alcoholic when I had my RNY, but was sober about five years when I had my surgery. I relapsed a year later, and have been struggling ever since, and it has been two years of pure hell.
I just got out of rehab and am currently in an outpatient treatment program. I have been in AA for over 20 years, and attend at least 3 meetings a week, plus my treatment program three nights a week.
I currently have fibromyalgia and herniated discs, on top of being on cymbalta, risperdal and buspar for my mental illness of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.
Find a rehab to get evaluated for detoxification and treatment. It is extremely dangerous to detox on your own from alcohol, it could be fatal.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Have you considered psychotherapy and learning coping skills, and self-soothing? I would be lost without mine right now, though I am not having a good week just now.

My heart aches for you.....Please get help, Don't wait till something really bad happens like most.....Go to in treatment care, that is the only way....
My Mom also had Fibromyalgia and drank to get rid of the pain......The drinking turned into mis-use of pain killers......She has all sorts of problems now.....
Think how your drinking is affecting your childeren, your marriage and yourself.....Do you really want it to stay the way it is? I'm sure the answer is NO....
Please, get help....Get into treatment.....
Please keep us posted....
Hugs, Kelly

I am not an expert on this but you have admitted that you have an issue so now is the time to do something about it.. To thine own self be true.. I know that I have to answer to the man in the mirror and that is who I am responsible for but you have a child and you have to look out for her too..
There are several means to get help.. Seek them out..

There's a hole in my sidewalk by Portia Nelson
Chapter One
I walk down the street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I'm lost. . . I'm helpless
It isn't my fault
It takes me forever to find a way out
Chapter 2
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don't see it
I fall in again
I can't believe I'm in the same place
But it isn't my fault
It still takes a long time to get out
Chapter 3
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in. . . it's a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately
Chapter 4
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it
Chapter 5
I walk down another street
way to go Ramon
