kelbren h,

I can remember being at a place of complete hopelessness and sincerely wanting to get better. I was paralyzed and kept repeating the same behaviors over and over. The whole process was just so overwhelming I did not know how or where to start. I reached out for help and started taking suggestions because I was finally at a point where all of my ideas on what to do had not worked. I started by taking simple actions such as making a commitment to go to meetings each week. I then got a sponsor and again started taking simple actions that he suggested. Those actions continued to build on each other and my life started to get better. Recovery is a process and it takes time….I had to be patient but taking actions made me feel better. I can not think my way into a better way of feeling, I need to take action. We are here for you!
