I'll be glad to post your photos. Just send them to my email address I posted on the pic thread.
Izzy....Hi pal. How are you? Your doctor's appointment is coming up soon, yes? Just wondering how you were fairing? Hope all is well and you keep up the good work. Have you been sober? If you posted somewhere else and I missed it I apologize. Just checkin' on you!

Hey Valerie. Thanks for that post... that was sweet. I have been stressed out since I've been back... back to all the problems and this house that drags me down sometimes... As for being sober... not 100% no which I am a bit gutted about myself. I'm getting more and more annoyed at having to wait 4 months for an appointment at the hospital... I'm just cracking up! I'm taking comfort in the knowledge I have people here who understand and wont judge me... also I know I want to get better more than anything. I just need to find the inner strength and a lot of willpower... so on that note... I feel like a bit of a fraud as this is supposed to be a recovery site and I am not 100% sober. I'll get there though. I know I will...

Hey Iz.....you are not a fraud! There are alot of people who aren't sober that come to this site for support. That is why we have all come here. I initially came because I just wanted some insight on staying sober and I also wanted a place where it is not 100% focused on AA. I did it without AA, but I did go through NA years ago which is basically the same steps. Everyone here is soooo supportive whether you use their methods or not. I also wanted to make new friends which I feel that I have. Being the only person who is 100% sober in my close group of friends gets pretty lonely so that's why I came here.
Are you waiting to see a shrink or your general practictioner? You know you can call your regular doctor and tell him/her that you are trying to quit drinking and you can get antabuse that way. Like I said before just be real sure you are ready to quit drinking when you start taking it. You will feel sick even when you use mouthwash. At least I did! Take care pal....and keep on keeping on!

Izzy, Val is right, not being 100% sober does not make you a fraud and no one is going to judge you for it. Not everyone here is 100% sober, and not everyone stays 100% sober... I've had my share of slips since I've been posting here and can't honestly say it won't happen again; I'm going one day at a time and can't think about what might happen tomorrow. Sobriety is very, very new to me and I'm still trying to get the hang of it. But every journey starts somewhere, and as long as we really want to get better & be sober, we've started the journey. So keep fighting and keep your chin up girl, you're doing great.
Even in AA meetings you are welcome even if you're drunk when you show up...the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, that's all...I for one would never consider you a fraud, sheesh, it took me 28 years to put the drink and the drugs down...come to think of it I'm like the Grandma here ~ lol!
Hey Izzy addiction wants you to think you are a fraud so it can take back control but by posting you beat it for today and thats all we have each day so pat yourself on the back and be proud.

WOW!!! You guys are just awesome! Every post on this thread has blown my mind;) Thanks for that!
Hello Izzy! You're doing great....just knowing you have a problem, and wanting to do something about it is a HUGE step. I'm in the same boat. Let's keep paddling and we won't sink, K? ;)

Thanks to everyone... all your posts mean a lot to me. I'm going through a bad patch right now... frustration boiling over... things coming to a complete standstill.
I didn't realise you could show up to AA even if you weren't sober...
I'm hoping I'll get some answers from the Psych on Tuesday... Hopefully she can speed things up and get me back on track.
Anyway... yes. All the posts in this thread have been incredibly helpful so thank you to everyone.

Sorry things are rough, Izzy, I understand the frustration for sure. You'll have to let us know how the appt with the doctor goes. From what I know about AA, all that's required is a desire to stop drinking... and you sure seem to have that. Take care & have a great weekend... keep in touch...
Hi Izzy, I can't really add much more, everyone here has said it all, we are here to support you hun, I'm sorry to hear about your situation right now, keep the faith and keep posting here!
Lots of love
