In my own words
Posted On 08/10/2008 00:33:16 by Blackcanary

I'm new here. I didn't know this site existed. I'm glad though. I need some help, but at the same time, I have been resigned to my personal prison. I have been living in here for like two months now. Been kind of going back and forth through reality. I have been trying very hard to keep and close lock on reality, but I have not been doing a good job. I don't do a good job at anything. I can't even make it through the steps. That is what led me here. I have been trying to work these steps since March or April. I'm up late tonight and can't sleep. I'm tired of taking pills and talking to strangers about my feelings. I just want all this to go away. I just want to be normal, to be able to function. I just want to be able to think clearly and focus on the things that I need to do. I can't seem to do this, but instead, do things that I'm not supposed to do. I'm good at masking it from others. If others knew what I have been doing lately, they would be so disappointed in me. I have no job, no money, and nothing else. I have lost the love of my life due to a technicality, and my kids don't even live with me. I have been reduced to nothing. I am nothing. I feel like nothing. I'm still in denial that I even have a problem most days. I just stay in a state of dissociation, not really knowing where I am half the time. The other half is spent just numb.

Everyone here has said good things. Reach up and pull yourself up and start again.  We have all been where you have been and we have all made it and work at it each day. DON'T stop before the miracles happen!

YOU are special.

Stay connected.  Love, Tina

BC -
     Welcome home. A lot of us end up here in desperation and end up staying for what we get and can give.
     One's first time through the steps is difficult. Which is not surprising, as they are life changing if done with the utter abandon necessary to make them work. But like walking for the first time they must be done individually, one at a time - without thought to what lies ahead next.
     I believe that everyone is valuable. God doesn't make garbage. But it is up to us to do with what we have, to better ourselves and our little piece of the world around us.
     Stick around, keep working it and wait for the miracle to happen.

Take care,
Dennis

I'm glad that you have made your way here. Welcome.

It seems to me that you have reached a bottom where the only way now is upwards. I say this because in my case, I had to be completely on empty to finally concede defeat and then start asking for help.

As we say at meetings, and here, KEEP COMING BACK

You will find a happiness and peace beyond all imaginings, believe me.

Love and Peace
Angela
