Hungry Angry Lonely Tired And Prepared To Do Something About This Issue

Words that best describe me? Hungry Angry Lonely Tired. Those four words sum up all that goes through my mind day in and day out as a recovering alcoholic. I am hungry to explore the things I have missed during the 12 years I spent fighting alcohol, and am angry at the same time. I am lonesome as the pain is evident in those I hurt, and I'm so uninterested in feeling that way. Often it was like alcohol was the only real way to end the pain again, but I knew it wasn't the answer.

It had only been half a year since I decided I don't wanted alcohol in my life. The more time under the belt, the easier that it'll get. I am assured of that.

I recently made a decision to attend support groups twice per week. There are such a lot of great folks there who know exactly what I'm going thru. It looks that these are the nicest, most caring individuals I've ever met in my life, all who can relate to the Problems and the necessity to resort to alcohol any time difficulty finds its way. I also received a sponsor, who is always there, 24/7 when I need her. I feel so blessed.

It is hard when all of these feelings are tied up inside you. It's only natural to want to resort back to what made you're feeling good. But I am too old, and can no longer hide from the pain. You see where it has gotten me so far.

So now, I made the choice to search out those around me for support, and it paid off. Battling an obsession is a continuing process that needs commitment and commitment, even years after. Thank the world that there are such great folks there to help. I couldn't have done it alone.

I am a 39 year old mother of two from Virginia. I lost my youngsters, my hubby, and whole world to alcohol, and now I am going through addiction recovery. I took the initiative and am now getting the help I need. I am confident spirituality in recovery will help me to make my life as superb as ever soon.
