A friend of mine always says that 'Relapse is a part of sobriety, but it doesn't have to be mine'
This was all too apparent this past week when I ran into one of my early one friends who was just released from a psych ward.
I wanted to shake him and scream: 'YOU'RE WORTH IT'. It was weird because the following night, I totally had a dream that I relapsed on pain killer & prescription meds, which was never my thing.
This is an excerpt from my journal: " It's weird because more and more I've come to believe that my life is saved through sobriety, then i start thinking - oh boy i'm drinking the 'kool-aid' but the truth really is, I've never known a life as full, prosperous, joyful & meaningful as I know it right now - and true I MAY be able to
survive or get by if I'm drinking but, TODAY I believe I was made for more than just survival. I guess the adventure of it is I get to figure it out or not even that so much as step on and go for the ride.
Just thought I'd share that revelation

I always ask myself how's living, then I continue with, that good? Great keep it up, you relapse you die. I know it sounds harsh but it's my reality. I seriously don't believe I would survive a relapse. Sounds like life has become so worth it to you dear friend and you're right it is. I wish your other friend all the courage he needs to get back on track. (Hugs)Indigo
