I would agree that the simple pleasures and joys in life eventually return when we start working recovery. Living, learning, laughing, and all those sorts of things become meaningful again. The trick is to find a way to clean up long enough to give yourself a real shot at recovery. The reason it's tricky is because all of those simple pleasures are not appealing when you first stop using drugs and alcohol. Thanks again for your comment and God bless.

Remember those days of simple joys like playing whatever or just learning about life in general. Live, Love and Learn to Laugh again. Don't look down, Look up and Stay positive. What you might find out about yourself may pleasantly surprise. Upward and Onward one step at a time. Stay encouraged always. We forgot how we used to feel before drugs and alcohol entered our lives.

I can definitely relate to you when you say that something happens and you can't cope. I had to learn a new way to live; a way to cope without using drugs and alcohol. I don't think you should be ashamed with yourself. There are lots of people in your position. Find a way to get help. Good luck and God bless. Hang in there, Kelley.

I am not in a position to be a able to live in a long term facility but desperately want to stop drinking. When I don't drink, I feel incredibly alive and then something happens and I can't cope. I go back to drinking to numb. I am ashamed and so frustrated with me. This makes sense to me.
