whichwayisup Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Do not call him, email him that you are going to rehab/detox and that you will contact him in a few weeks. (And take those 2 weeks, maybe more, to wait to see how long you actually can go without contacting him.) I hope you're serious about going to detox and are willing to fight hard to become sober again. Focus on YOU and YOU only. Don't give MM a second thought while in there. Also, you can do fine without his money. Stop taking $$ from him if he offers to you in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
2sunny Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Did you get a sponsor yet? And I hope you do go to detox and rehab. You need time to address your issues of needing to be perfect and look perfect. Explore those with a counselor. It could be part of the reason you drink. Living up to those expectations that are unreasonable - it's very difficult to feel adequate. Do contrary action for a while. Don't shave at all - don't do make up - don't dress "up" - see what it feels like for you to just be mellow about things. See what the real you might look like. You can always move to the middle by doing balance. That MM doesn't have you're best interest in mind stay away from him and any communication. Take control of the things you CAN and start making decisions that benefit you in the long run. Meetings won't keep you sober. You must get sober first. Then doing the steps with a sponsor helps you understand why you drank to cover up your pain. Meetings are a place you get a sponsor and a place where you then offer to sponsor others. Do you have a big book? And a creative outlet is always good therapy for those recovering. Congrats on selling your art! Link to post Share on other sites
