Hey Paul. You might still be up. Or you’ll get this in the am. Thanks for all your support on my journey. I been trying to find some words of encouragement for you my friend. I been reading over a lot of your posts. This is what I came up with.
A quote from the Bible. I think it applies to everyone no matter who your God or higher power is. I just kinda stick with the God I know.
James 2:14-26
Faith Without Works Is Dead
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
In my limited knowledge of AA I do know in the first few steps we turn it all over to God and we are powerless over booze. But I feel we got to do more than that. I’m sure your doing more than that too. What I’m trying to say is you are always one of the most encouraging people on this app I know. Encouraging, praising, supporting, toss in a fun laugh or joke. Do you do that to, and for, yourself? Are ya good to yourself? Encouraging to Paul. I do think we are always learning. Unless we’re drinking or dead. I hope you have a great successful sober day tomorrow or today depending when you get this.
Love you man. Hate to see you struggle. And appreciate all your support.
Take what you like leave the rest.

@Natnat cheers me dear I’m always up for an AA link that last one I sat in made me pour 4 cans of cider down the sink so that’s how powerful you are in my life. @Girlinterrupted I was about to WhatsApp you and check your OK but I’ll defo settle for a pic of littles, take care you know where I am and @Dazercat I’ll take it all and leave nothing behind. As far as encouragement for others and my own battles someone once said to me they couldn’t go on TS and advise others bc they couldn’t justify it bc of their own drinking I’ve also seen someone called a hypocrite but as far as I am concerned and how this recovery works WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER, go to a meeting anybody that hasn’t. Words save lives, day 1 people remind 10 year old timers of why they are still sober and we help ourselves by helping others. I don’t sit here for hours thinking what to say I say what enters my head and only God knows who put that there. We’ll never meet, I don’t want thanks or my ego poked I want sobriety for you, me and all.

When life becomes too complicated and we feel overwhelmed, it’s often useful just to stand back and remind ourselves of our overall purpose, our overall goal. When faced with a feeling of stagnation and confusion, it may be helpful to take an hour, an afternoon, or even several days to simply reflect on what it is that will truly bring us happiness, and then reset our priorities on the basis of that. This can put our life back in proper context, allow a fresh perspective, and enable us to see which direction to take.

Good night. Be strong. Be grateful.

I just spent bloody ages writing a saying with the letters from sobriety and fucking spelt it wrong, you would think I could at least spell it even if I’m not very good at it .
Anyway slight thought about it at work today go home and do that Friday night thing but I asked myself how you going to feel on Monday having to start a new week back in some kind of depression lost in your old ways. I really can’t get sober again so it’s best I don’t get drunk. Be strong, Be grateful.

Yay! Another sober day in the books for you. That Friday feeling was creeping up on me today too. Btw…How’s your sister feeling?
OK I hope I’ve not heard from her in a while 
. This could be good or bad. Last time we spoke she said she felt fine though. Thanks for asking, your showing more concern than I am, I’ll tell her you were asking

You need to keep the focus on yourself these days. I’m sure you would have heard from her if she wasn’t well. No news is good news!!

Yeah that’s what I thought too, I would have heard if it was anything bad. I’m a bit surprised you got that Friday feeling I thought you were rock solid, there’s not much left in your life that you haven’t been through and you’ve managed to stay sober, your a better person than me.

I’m not gonna lie, it’s been hard lately. I was getting complacent thinking I got this. Now I know we never really get it. Stepping up meetings to get back my control.

To true, I’ve learnt that the hard way but like I said earlier I just can’t go through all this shit again. At some point I’m either going to stop forever or drink and drugs forever. Meetings definitely help though especially when you just want to get some shit out of your head.

I’m trying to decide between murder or drinking. I think my sobriety is going to win this battle. Will you send me a card in prison?
