Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well.

I’m getting much better and started going back to AA meetings.

While I am not the biggest fan of AA, I thought it would be a good move to give it another try.

Some meetings I’ve been to were really awesome, inspiring and helpful. However, this particularly meeting that I went to I left early because the person running the meeting was really not nice and rude.

I get it. We’re all struggling. We’re all working to be better.

But what I don’t like, is power hungry people who think that they are holier than thou. it’s very discouraging and straight up rude.

Just because you are a chairman or chairwomen of a meeting or group doesn’t give anyone the right to be a jerk.

Be kind, yet also realistic to yourself. I relapsed after I went to rehab, and I was feeling really down on myself today. That wasn’t getting me anywhere.

So I got out of bed, went to the gym, did laundry, and now I’m going to try to make a meeting. And I made sure to tell myself to stay positive and take one day at a time!

No mate what level/stage you’re currently at, stay as positive as possible.

Edit: Title of post should be KIND, not king, lol.

Hi Friends,

I got back from detox and inpatient (12 days total). I left early with a plan. I wasted NO time!

After unpacking, I went straight to my PCP and got a script for Naltrexone.

Will Naltrexone solve my alcoholism? I don’t know. Will it help? No doubt. I will still work hard as I can.

Let’s all continue to stay strong!

What I learned: tapering is really difficult sometimes…

How I feel now: finally somewhat normal?

Most important: everything takes time. Does it suck? Yes. Are you going to feel okay all the time? Maybe. Maybe not.

For those who were able to take tapering seriously, good job. For those who were not able to, keep fighting. None of this is fun…

Peace and good wishes to all.

Well… here I am again…..

One hour I feel “okay”. Managed to get some good sleep. Next hour: nope, time to feel like absolute garbage!

It’s been a week taper for me. I felt totally fine this morning. Afternoon: nausea, dizziness…. Now, I am really trying to carefully go hour-by-hour. I guess it’s called Sip-and-Suffer for a reason? I really miss the old me so much…
