I haven't been on here for a while but felt like checking in and saying thanks.
Not to anyone in particular, just to Answerbank in general and all those that have offered help, support and advice over the past few years.
I've posted about my anxiety over the years, I've posted on the 'Night Night' threads, mainly when I've been depressed or drunk, and I've posted asking for relationship advice, which I've always listened to and taken on board, but never really done anything about.
Anyway, I'm pleased to say that after a pretty horrid few months, I've completed a two week medically assisted detox and am now three weeks alcohol free :-)
More importantly, I am also three weeks anxiety free! :-) :-)
I know three weeks isn't that long and it's still early days, but I'm pretty chuffed and believe this is now the start of better things for both me and my children.
Well done. Take one day at a time as is often said, and you will succeed, as you obviously are doing already. (Also, think of the money you're saving!). xxx
That really is brilliant news, babysham and as gness says - sometimes 3 weeks is a very long time. Well done. One day at a time and we're here if you need us xx
FANTASTIC NEWS Babysham :o) :o) :o) keep it up and remember the one rule: if you slip, do NOT beat yourself up about it and don't fall back into it. Keep doing what you are doing, I'm so pleased for you and long may you continue to start getting back to being the real you. Big hug for a huge achievement so far! Peas xxx
Congrats and keep it going, you now know what good days feel like and that will help you through any bad ones or wee setbacks that come along to test us all.
