Nine Months Dry Yesterday

Hiya, I've only just registered and was about to introduce myself in introductions when I saw the alcohol forum, so I made a beeline here(I'll introduce for real later).

After over twenty years of escapism at the mercy of alcoholism, last November I started on a long term residential rehab programme. I've had countless librium detoxes and tried drying out without librium as many times. They didn't work. I was only offered my last detox on the condition that I went into rehab immediatley afterwards. So here I'am nine months sober, the longest I've been in that twenty or so years, so its going really well for me.

In the rehab they got me to face and embrace my real self and that it is ok to feel this way. Over the months as the fog slowly lifted I stopped the denial and let Jenny grow, I'am still a child in that sense, but I'am growing into Jenny and I'm sober. The rehab has given me a second chance, a chance of a brand new life.

I' am an alcoholic and always will be and I know that one drink is one too many, I'm not saying that accepting my gender dysphoria is the only tool that will keep me sober, but allied to support support support I know I've got a fighting chance. I also know that I will never be allowed to transition if I drink. I also know that I will die if I drink. I can't say that I will never drink again(said that too many times before). I hope I wont and will try my very best. This illness is a pig and it will always be near, but for those who have the chance of a rehab, give it a try, its working so far for me.

Thanks, and never give up giving up.

My heart goes out to those still addicted.

Jenny.

      Good morning and congratulations @MirandaBon getting your ears pierced. This opens up a new line of jewelry to buy and collect.    @KymmieLits ashamed that any employee would ever to post a sign like this.    Well Parker Von Schwinegruber not only got me up early, we enjoyed our first cup of coffee on the patio before the sun was up. Oh it was daylight but just barely. The second cup of coffee was in the recliner, and now I’m pinned here and need someone to pour my third cup.    It’s a dog’s life… Eat, play, go potty and sleep. Repeat to infinity ♾️    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thanks so much @Vidanjali,@Ivy, and @DonkeySocks She's stable now and going home Monday after tests and some observation time. So that's a positive relief.

      Trump-linked dark-money group spent $90m on racist and transphobic ads in 2022, records show. Citizens for Sanity was one of top political spenders last election cycle and is back for 2024 with more extreme messaging, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads

      I adore the Bee Gees. There's no way that I could link all their great songs in the above post. To me though, this song of theirs is head and shoulders above everything else:

      The Gibb brothers were awesome individually, as a group, or in collaboration.

      My long hair is the single most important physical feature of my body which confirms the presence of my inner woman.   That said @SS, I am the 'other' sort of bi-gender. I am of the simultaneous type. I do not flip-flop between girl days and boy days either mentally or through presentation. For me, I am both primary genders at the same time, and the compromise is made through an androgynous presentation. When I look in the mirror, I can see either, but I am happy to admit that when I see a woman, I am happier.

      Quite unexpected!   I had my weekly conversation with my father last night and he mentioned something he did that caught me totally off guard.  He was browsing garage sales and came across a nice blond wig, he decided to buy it and his wife was quite perplexed he said.  They had a dinner date with a couple that are friends since high school, and my father went dressed as a woman (with his wife's assistance). He said he did it as a "joke", but spent the entire evening dressed.

      Welcome aboard, @The Lake. One thing you can be confident in is that this forum is a safe place to share your thoughts. Have a good look around and chime in as you see fit.

      Thank you! So do I! Although I'm proud of what it portrays, I don't wear it often because I think it could be taken as being a bit provocative. One part of me says look at me, I'm proud to be on the rainbow and the other part says pull your head in, you're asking for trouble.   I do have a more subtle pride t-shirt that I visibly wear more often, here is a representation of it: "Moon phase rainbow" V-Neck T-Shirt by secretmagic | Redbubble
