A glimmer of hope

[Carey4]

I came onto this platform over 7 years ago, just logged in.

Since I last posted I have had ups and downs, I've had over 5 detoxes, and have still been drinking however I have finally decided enough is enough so I'm now in the process of going into rehab for 6 months.

There is hope at the end just take the leap of faith to stop drinking

My liver has been okay at times at others no with fatty liver

I liked your mention of hope and found this song compilation list (compiled by some NHS Staff and Patients) - where people shared which songs they found help to give them hope.

Maybe you might have your own personal playlist of hope-ful songs too.

I thought it was great that the below compilation list encompassed multiple eras / genres of music (I believe that sometimes; we can draw extra strength from people of different age groups - as they can help us to see a problem's resolution from a fresh perspective).

After over 10 years of giving up I clung to 5 words that got me through.

"I don't do that anymore"
