Checking in on Day 29.

Four weeks ago today I woke up hungover after my team was eliminated from the playoffs and said enough! I can hardly remember the game and I embarrassed myself in front of some friends.
Today I woke up sober after watching (and remembering) the Super Bowl.

It hasn’t been easy at times but I’m grateful to be sober today.

Awe Donna, I’m sorry you had to go it alone. Pls don’t ever hesitate to PM me. We’re in the same time zone and I’m always on here at night just reading. I’d be happy to chat. Sending you big hugs. :hugs: :two_hearts:

Don’t leave…please stay. It takes what it takes. Today is a fresh day and a new day to be sober. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I believe in you @anon79808082. I know how hard it can be, how demoralizing. Please don’t stop trying. How can we help support you? And more importantly, how can you support yourself in this process? :heart: Always here if you need a friend. :heart:

Approaching 27 days.

I spent most of the day yesterday working with my sponsor. Finished steps 4, 5, 6 & 7. Gotta wrap up step 8 today.

I don’t recommend finishing up a step 4 shortly before attending a wedding. Felt raw and exposed. It left my wife a little disappointed that I didn’t participate in the dance because I bailed super early. But I think I explained it to her last night. I haven’t been very considerate about her lack of understanding about my recovery but overall she’s been more than willing to accomodate my needs and support me. I’ll try to be more open with her about what’s going on.

I’m grateful for the life I have and I’m glad to see my defects much more clearly. I’ve built an arch and I did it well thanks to some great guidance. I’m thankful for the opportunity to strengthen my relationship with my higher power and to grasp the ways it’s been there all along. We had a good talk, and it’s time that I stop being a tool and become an instrument.

Donna, don’t leave. I enjoy your posts and enthusiasm.

What caused you to go back to it yesterday? You were doing so well. Come back and working it again. I recently did what you did and had a royal meltdown b/c of it. We get up, dust ourselves off, at try again!!!

Give it another go.

I think I’m doing pretty well, all things considered. I’m working this week, which is amazing to me because I quit my regular job, thinking I’d be in custody by now.

Feeling blessed and taking the challenges as they come… One day at a time. You know how we do it.
