But you are here and that counts! Let’s stay sober together. Maybe you know what triggered you so you can prevent it from happen again. It all about learning new coping strategies, that’s hard but you can do it :facepunch:

At least it’s a fairly new (excellent thrift store find) sofa prison.
The one we had before was a curbside rescue, probably 30 years old, ugly, uncomfortable, and a running family joke. :grin:

@goBlue24 sending you thoughts of love and healing. Really glad to hear you have ER insurance. Hope the other insurance will works out soon. For my husband and for you: fuck crohn’s.

@SoberWalker sorry to hear this. To be challenged like this close to such a milestone. My husband doesn’t drink because of medical reasons. But for me it took me forever to get the cozy lovey feeling with him without alcohol. I hope you figure it out. Thoughts of strength and clarity to you.

I can relate to this!!! But have come to learn that putting my needs first is a very important part of recovery. Good for you :heart_eyes:

Day 247. When I would come across a non-drinker (which wasn’t very often) I always felt a sort of admiration for them - that they did not need alcohol to have fun or feel comfortable around others. They exuded a certain confidence, they were put together. I never thought I would become one of them. The reactions I have gotten have mostly been positive. I believe the few negatives are from those who themselves have an issue with alcohol. They are uncomfortable looking at their own situation. I pray for them. Sending extra love to all of you having a rough go of it. Don’t ever give up! We are all here for support or a hug when you need it. Much love to you. :tulip:

Day 196. Sober. Been weird here…I thought people wouldn’t judge as much for not drinking but it’s like being American and sober to Italians is just an awful package LOL. Handling it well though and am literally high just from the views here!
