So another exciting day walking around the house, I just want to thank you all for not judging us that constantly relapse and for only ever giving encouragement and hope to those of us that are struggling in these times. I’ve got my mojo back and a couple more life and recovery lessons under my belt.
BTW what’s happened to @SassyRocks I’ve not seen her for a couple of days now?
Be strong be safe behold the miracle of sobriety.

ahhh!! normality resumes, I had to come back, had a chat with friends at AA and I need to ask for help and stop worrying about hassling people, I want sobriety and I’m never going to stop trying. I think your stuck with me now and I’m already in the process of helping out a couple of people which is what we do best. Pass it on right.

BTW sorry to burst the bubble it would be great if it was as simple as eat, drink and sleep. Your gonna have to want this more than air, you’ve gotta be prepared to cry, scream, pray to anything, get rid of pride, ego and change your whole outlook on your life, meditate, read books, read TS, watch videos, learn about your mind and body, take vitamins, accept everything and know that at every point in your recovery everything you are feeling is normal, then maybe with a little help from these guys and gals you’ll do it. Simple.

Woke up really trying to motivate myself bc I knew I was in for a long busy day with stress in a world full of Idiots. This is proof that you really should stay in the NOW and not drift off and presume to know the future to the point of making yourself ill. It’s been a great day, nothing I saw in my crystal ball happened, really wanted a drink to the point where I couldn’t go to the shop, this is a big win atm bc drinking is very easy and at the forefront of my mind.
I can’t go into details but why does being nice to people always put me in strange situations, we think everyone on here is an addict like us but that’s really all we have in common.
So stay present, stay strong and stay inside.

I’m getting so lazy in my mind, I should be grateful to still have a job but it’s so stressful on the front line. Trying to continue working while you’ve got no supplies coming in and other staff leaving, I’m down to 50 % less staff and yep I’ve gotta pick up the slack. If I’m at home I’m so bored I want to be at work but when I’m at work I want to be at home.Im a man of answers and solutions and when I can’t find a way out I soon fall into depression but I’m needed so much I’m not even aloud to be ill. very draining.
Stay strong, stay safe and stay indoors.

I’ve kinda found my purpose, I want nothing from it and it is not an ego thing, I couldn’t care less as long as the other person benefits. Its hard to build a relationship up and walk away so if anything it causes me pain but it’s OK. I may sound vague bc it’s quite private but we all need to be where we need to be and that’s here on TS.
Be strong, be safe be kind.

The only way I can do this atm is by not counting the days, obviously I’m aware of them but in the past I would look at them and the more I got the more I thought I was cured and could have a drink. I’m as proud on day 1 as I will be on any other. it’s not a competition to me anymore, I don’t aspire to anyone else’s achievements I just have to get to bed sober. If I can spend time helping others in any way, shape or form it distracts me from my own illness and struggles, trust me I have them nearly every day, today was a beautiful day to get drunk and high but I’ve learnt my trigger is happiness, happiness gets me drunk and stoned every time but after writing a post to someone yesterday for once in my life I have listened to my own advice, Today I was happy, today I had that urge but I told myself that it doesn’t need to get any better, it’s enough. Stay strong, stay safe and god bless you all. @Girlinterrupted I’m proud of you, you’ve already come so far from where you were about 48 hours ago.

You’re support really helped me get through it and I can’t ever thank you enough.
I’m also with you on the day thing, because we only have today and we never know what tomorrow will bring and we are never promised a tomorrow. Glad to have you on my side through this. So much love to you

I agree with you. I don’t look at the number very often and that’s why I haven’t been checking in. I find the higher it is, the happier I get and then my thoughts go to “I can control this and maybe have just one”. Do what works to get yourself to bed sober. Today is the most important day.
