Hi Jordanne,

I am sorry to hear all this. How is your ankle now? Are you able to walk at all?

It sounds like you are feeling embarrassed and remorseful about all this. This can be hard to deal with but let these feelings motivate you to be free of this addiction. How can you remind yourself of these feelings when cravings come on again?
 
Know that you are not alone in this. We can help you through it. To get started read through the program and do a keyword search in the support group to find discussions that pertain to you. The more information you can arm yourself with the better.
 
Stay strong.

Tonight. I suggested we go out with carry on's abs check out the flooded dam. Not paying attention I fell into a hole and broke my ankle. Simply cause I'm a dumb drunk. Tho long it'
