Im Awaiting A Medical Assissisted Detox From Alcohol

[nailedit]

I *DON'T* expect any one to understand it.

But can you at least understand that no one expected to end up this way??

I never woke up one morning and thought that it would be a good idea to become addictited to drugs or alcohol.

Its a kind of creeping thing....

Cheers naomi 😀

Who was that then?

'twas you. In the olden days.

I don't seem to have contributed on this thread so far, but I have mentioned in the past on one of your threads IIRC that my niece's husband suffered from alcoholism which destroyed the marriage. He has now nailed it [see what I did there😁] and they're tentatively together again although not officially living together again yet - he's still in acccommodation (a flat of his own) provided by his support organisation.  So I do have an slight inkling of what you're going through, and I would like to join all the others on this thread and express my online support for you.  And yes, it does creep up, as you so firmly stated, it's not as if you decided one day that addiciton would be a good idea.

We're all rooting for you - good luck with the latest

You do whatever you need to do but do something.

It killed my mother at 59 - she never got to see her grandchildren grow up - you need to see your granddaughter grow up.

//you need to see your granddaughter grow up//

I know, and thats why i'm determined to put this one to bed once and for all...I'm sick of being dependent on something that's killing me.

My granddauhter is my world, I'll beat this for her.

Can I just add my most sincere good wishes for a happy outcome to you problem Nailedit. I wish you all the luck in the world.
(And I've never thought you came across as a mad axe murderer, just a very nice, articulate human being,)
Good luck to you :)

//just a very nice, articulate human being//

Large waiting list...

You can do it. It may take time, but you can.
