You gotta want to get sober for you

Recovery
#1

When I had come out of the ICU for the second time due to seizures and pancreatitis it still didn't particularly stop me, I knew I couldn't control myself but I still felt forced into this corner. It still wasn't MY decision to stop, so of course I relapsed. After I relapsed I ended up on a three day bender...the state police were in my apartment and it was an overall disaster. That hangover lasted over four days, and the whole time I was filled with more regret than I ever was prior. The hospital didn't stop me, the illnesses didn't stop me, after I finally had that bender I finally accepted within myself that I want to get sober FOR ME. And that I really really WANT it. I feel that's a huge part of this, you gotta want it for you. My family pleaded with me for years, and of course my relationship with them is worlds better now but they didn't make me want it. Thanks for reading my rant, be easy everyone and much love.
