Back again I’m hopeless

That’s what we like to hear. Going to sleep sober means you’ve won the daily battle, but you havent won the war :thinking:

Everyday is a fresh battle, and we can only truly say we’ve won the war if we die sober.

Keep on keeping on, ODAAT :+1:t2::grin:

Really appreciate this Beba. I tried to do this alone for so long and it never worked.

Thanks Christophe. Going to seek refuge by spending as much time as possible in the rooms of AA and just keep it really simple.

Just leaving a meeting I haven’t been too in a while and feeling the love from people. I can’t change what I’ve done can only keep moving forward. I’m terrified about what the kids and my partner are going through. I’ve got a sponsor who I trust. He advised me that it’s my only duty to stay the fuck away from them and give them a chance to heal and move on with their lives. It makes me really sad but I have to focus on what I can change today.

Just past two weeks working with a sponsor again through the steps. Trying to do as many random acts of kindness per day as possible and getting my ass to two meetings a day ODAAT

Thanks Beba I’m 19 days got my home group tonight. Got out of that awful place I was in and thankfully found a friend in recovery to stay with. He was a sponsee of mine once actually. Back into the big book and doing my best to take it one minute at a time. It has been really hard and I’m still filled with guilt shame and remorse but I don’t have to drink today. :folded_hands::heart:

“Well the first days are the hardest days, but don’t you worry anymore” (Grateful Dead) Great that the OP found a home group. It can be terribly difficult in the beginning days, weeks, months, until resisting drinking becomes I want to live sober. Use all that support so that your future you will be comfortable in sober spaces and thoughts.

I’m glad to know you are still sober and hopefully it will stay that way, just be patient and persistent. It will get easier with time, at least for me now its much easier then first three months. We all understand you here and support you, stay strong :slight_smile: hope for you to have happy days
