Wow. Really relate to this as this is a trait i have is resentment. Have done the same type of analysis, have read books linking low self esteem to this feeling. I work on this each day. I can resent when people do good or bad things, mad and has impacted on my relationships. I am really trying to work on this part of my personality as it hinders me… Yet my core i am a caring person. But to others opioninated, no patience etc. Thanks for your insight

Morning dear friends.

So day #2 for me. Im waking up nearly as anoxiuos as yesterday. I have never tried that before i think this might be the cornor for me. No more day 1 im pretty sure m. I Think and feel in my body that there will be no more relapse, not that i wont have cravings because i will, but here it goes i have never felt this before. I want to Say goodbye to the worst friend i have ever had. So goodbye alcohol you will no more have the power to ruin my life. I know some might just think that yes yes lets see in two weeks it might happen again, but no, i will still take it one day at a time, even one minut or one second at a time. But i cant forgive or accept myself right now if i dont make these changes. So what new alternatives would i use the next time i want a drink. The first thing is, that i will attend meetings, in the beginning it will be online meetings and the next thing will be doing a meeting in person. Before i was just staying away from alcohol, but actually not done more active things for it myself i think i just thought oh this will pass if i just sit here not drinking. But it wont, i will need to do something for it. And i have found the big book and will begin my 12 step working aswell.

I hope that it will be okay for me to ask for your help to get through this second day aswell, im sure cant do this alone.

Day 119, very early so it will be day 120 later! Glad to be at four months. Yesterday I was thinking about drinking a lot. This is a terrifying time, and mostly I know drinking wouldn’t help, but sometimes those thoughts ambush me. I waited it out and here I am today.

Well done on your 4th day. Im on day 2 dont feel like myself in anyway. Were you the same?

Yeah, my head was still all over the place on day two, but it gets better once the alcohol is out of your system. Stick with it and you’ll start to see the difference in yourself :+1:

Hi so sorry to hear about your husband…welcome, this is a wonderful community to help you along the way… it has kept me on the straight and narrow for the first time ever in my 25 + years drinking. I dont feel alone in my pain… keep strong.

Yes. Thank you for replying

  1. Coffee. Going to ride my bike. 3 Hours max is what they say (to not compromise immunity) so that’s what I’ll do. My sobriety is fine. Clean and sober is the way I’m supposed to be. This way I can sort of handle life. At least I can give it my best try. Under the influence I’d just hide in my shell. Never again. Thanks for being here all. You all make it possible. @Kelsey55 Welcome Kelsey! Very sorry for your loss. I hope this community can mean as much to you as it does to me. @AnonymousD I believe in you because I see you believe in you. That’s what’s it about friend. Congrats on your sobriety! @ChyB 90 days Oli! Yay you! @SoberWalker We need time to ourselves too Claudia. All of us. Make that time. Hugs.
    PS. Contrary to popular believe Luna seems rather pleased with having me around a lot. Have a good day all! Clean and sober love from Luna and me.
