Chris, there isn’t anything I can do to take the pain and feelings away. But we are all here with you. I’m glad you shared what has been on your heart and I hope that doing so gave you some relief

Chris, mate.
Can’t even pretend to appreciate how you feel, but I can understand why.
Just know that because of people like yourself and your brothers people the world over are safe.
I think when it comes down to it you understand completely where these emotions are coming from and even now how they can affect your life.
You’re doing what you are doing, safe in the knowledge that you will keep your sobriety.
Remembering your comrades and raise a glass of seltzer to their memory.
Stay safe.

Greetings from SA… Day 10 and same place not my first time, been in and out since 2015 but so grateful to be back walking this journey. I know many don’t make it back and I have lost a few friends to the disease of addiction. This time something does feel different and I am hopeful for a clean and sober day everyday 24 hours at a time 
have a great clean and sober weekend to all

Day 4
Worked hard to resist wine’o clock today but I did it! Feels so so good! Best thing I’d experienced today was a deep and clear connection with my sweet little boy when I put him down to sleep.
Enjoy the evening everyone!

Had a dream last night that I drank. Woke up this morning feeling relieved it was just a dream but also a little shook up by it.
I feel scared/worried, like I’m unsure of myself and my sobriety now : (
I will get through today though, and remind myself of the courage, strength and determination I’ve had these past 74 days. There’s no turning back - because “I don’t drink!” interesting timing too, as yesterday was the first day I openly and proudly told two friends (separately) that “I don’t drink”. I was nervous but relieved once I did, I felt very vulnerable but honest too - with them AND myself : ) probably why I had the dream I did last night 🤷♀

Day 13. Trying to remind myself that I deserve to be happy. And I can’t achieve happiness being messed up all the time. Making bad decisions. My entire life I have convinced myself that my life is what it is and I dont deserve more. Deserve better. But today I am trying to tell myself that I do. I can be happy. This road is long and bumpy but I am excited and scared to to find something better. Hopefully my anxiety doesn’t kill me first.

I’m so proud you told your friends as it really does help you to be honest with yourself. I struggle with telling people all the time as it makes it all too real. It makes me so nervous but relieved after. Good job and keep up the amazing work. I can’t wait to reach the 70s!

Day 1. Again. Been aware that I need to be sober and that I have a problem since 2011. I’ve had about a million day ones. I’m so tired.

On my steroid, nauseas from eating with my sensitive stomach. It’s been making me sleep a lot from the medicine. Excited my insurance is available now and after this hospital visit I can get back to trying to get some normalcy and routine with the doctors to help in my recovery as well.
I’m sleepy, gonna sleep some more. Night TS
