Thanks friend … keep at it …you’ll be at these numbers and beyond too
You know I never really believed i can do this… I believe now, I am a bit of a loner and never thought I need people to help me get through this
I def need support, I need Sticky and you and all these good people here
Totally understand this thinking…i too thought I could never do this as I could never put together a couple days before and also didn’t think I needed anyone but actually the support from this community is what’s kept me going and kept me from giving in on the hard days.
So happy that you and Sticky are each other’s sounding board and also here for community support. We really do get stronger together
We do, thank you so much
Oh man I’m sorry… scary slipping on ice. Please be careful. Hope pain subsides soon
Sticky!!! You are just so pro! Gym, work etc. Let me tell you about my day LOL I was off from work and I was in some sort of coma! Last night I was binge watching Netflix (‘The sinner’ series) until 3am and today I woke up 5pm! 14 hours sleep! The best part of it is that I woke up feeling great! I didn’t feel guilty, I didn’t blame myself for not being productive…like I used to. I think thats because I am sober and every day I am sober I see as successful day.
Plus at least I didn’t bang my knee today
I wish your knee a speedy recovery
I have a notebook in which I collect sayings or things I read/heard that I liked… I was looking through it today (still in bed after my sleeping session LOL) and I found one that made me think ‘GIVE YOURSELF GOOD REASONS TO TRUST YOURSELF MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY’… I thought about how many times I broke promises I gave to myself, how I stopped trusting myself since why would I trust someone who is constantly drunk…
Yes, I want to trust myself again, I feel so much better about myself already and when I think about it I don’t really blame myself for problems I had with alcohol… I wish it never happened to me but it did and I put up the fight…
Beautiful xxx
thank you
There’s your win for the day!
3 weeks today! I was thinking about my day zero 3 weeks ago… I remember my phone ringing in the morning… it was my mum and I answered and then straight away regretted doing it as I could barely talk and she was asking many questions… I was scheduled to work only from afternoon but I still wasn’t sure if I can make it… Having few hours to recover, sick, exhausted and scared that I had yet another blackout last night, paralysed by anxiety… and then remembered someone told me about apps on which you can count your sober days etc… thats how I found this place… to start with I had no intention to talk to people here but I was reading a lot, writing in my journal, and somehow it helped me stop drinking. 5 days later I gathered all my courage to say hi and thank you for my 5 sober days…
Thank you for my 3 sober weeks
Heck yeah!!! 3 weeks is amazing and I’m so glad you did find us. Grateful that you remember that day 0…I hate that day but will keep it in mind so not to get fooled by my addiction to think I’m missing out on anything. You have come so far friend… keep going strong
Thank you so much
How strange I felt low today as well, and I kinda knew it is coming over the last 2 days so it didn’t surprise me. Maybe thats quite normal Sticky, first we are excited about the change but then not as much and life happens and we are not yet used to deal with it sober. I had very brief moments today, when I almost regretted my commitment to this place and to you, thinking about it as some kinda limitations… which is pretty sick thinking, and I hate it…
