After 18yrs on #Zyprexa I have finally come off it. I cant put into words how I am feeling, now I am off it, im a different person. Things I have noticed an improvement in: memory, concentration, focus, spacial awareness, alertness. My appetite is under control.

After 3 months of sobriety, the idea of having a drink is creeping up on me. I could do with some words of encouragement, to stop me from going down a slippery road #odaat #RecoveryPosse

Mate asked me to go out, I said I’ll come out, but I’m not drinking, he said, pointless and I haven’t heard from him since #odaat #RecoveryPosse

It’s crazy that most people don’t see alcohol as a drug, even though it’s one of the most harmful and addictive substances in the world. #RecoveryPosse #alcoholawareness #Sober #RecoveryHelp
