I’m sorry too, Lea. It’s not your fault for seeking the help you needed.
Sounds like you made a difficult but necessary decision. That takes courage. Well done. I hope from here on out you have the strength to keep those boundaries in place and take good care of yourself.
So proud of you Lea, setting and keeping boundaries and working so hard to heal. You are inspiring.
Stil sober, but not much time to read or write here. All my leisure time is spent on playing my guitar and listening to podcasts.
Wishing everyone a very good sober weekend!
Hello, I’ve just jumped into Day 6 af and . I’m painting all weekend as well as working tomorrow. I’m getting the usual calls from the usual suspects “Where are you? What time are you out? Not seen you all week.” Its good texting back saying " I wont be coming out, I have way too many things going on right now.
And the truth is I DO have way too many things going on Painting, (I’m finding it therapeutic) dog walking- must be done and it clears your mind. Calling and visiting relatives- addiction always puts them last I went to see a few today and apologized for not visiting. I explained How much I hate myself for drinking and that I knew in my mind that I shouldn’t but I am trying to conquer it and do the right thing.
@Dolse71 Well done on that green chip mate. @zzz I’m pleased your getting straight back into getting sober…them days will soon add up again.

Feeling great, feeling human
Well done on 26 days, human is always a good start.
Finally its happened country has been arguing for three years sick of hearing about it no change yet interesting times… smart meeting sounded positive… onwards to double digits plus 2!!
I installed a boxing bag today
Needed to do something with my body and my frustrations that do come around the corner sometimes. Will join a kickbox gym as well. I don’t like fitness gyms. They are depressing to me.
From the UK, but love the late night shows! Have a fabulous time!
Day 11 sober! I am back from the retreat. I worked some 12 steps aspects following the book” a gentle path to the 12 steps “ by doctor Patrick Carnes.
Praying and laughing during this days. I needed to laugh. That had been like an exorcism for me. @Dolse71 thanks for your last advice. I am trying to put it on practice
I used to have a heavy bag and speed bag at my house up north; very rewarding after a tough day at work, lol.
Day 300!
Thanks for being here everbody! It’s been a great ride on the wagon so far. I’ll do my best not to fall off! Stay awesome out there!

BUT I’m STILL SOBER 59 DAYS!
I’ll take it

@Hailstrom - I’m so glad you found a meditation group. I know my Sangha really grounds me. Tomorrow I sit with them for a half day.
@C_8 - You are rocking the number and the NUMBERS. I’m so unbelievably proud of you and your progress.
