Day 6 sober. Yesterday I have had a great meeting through Zoom app and saved my day. I continue with cravings and I feel the inner pull. Well, I surrender here and hopefully tonight I will connect again.

Day 72.31
I keep rolling over the days and thinking of my sober twin Marie (@Hopeful777).
90 days seems to be farther than I thought when I hit 60 days. Definitely a mental thing, but related to the whole CV crisis slowing time.
A lot of good posts; everyone keep up the good fight!!!
Stay strong everyone and have a fantastic day!!!

What’s up with the flood gauge? It looks like that measures fairly high.
Does the road become un-passable at times?

You are right. Shame and addiction seem to be intertwined for me. It’s a vicious cycle of shame, anxiety and low self esteem that triggers my drinking. A relapse then leads to more shame etc. So glad I can come here to talk.

Brene Brown has written some excellent books on shame and vulnerability, among other things. Here is a link to a short list, but if you are interested, reading Amazon reviews for her books might help you find the one you may find most helpful.

you’re doing your best and your sober today so that’s enough for now. I went to the shop and wasn’t sure if I should bc that voice was very loud but it’s the voice of our enemy, it doesn’t care about us or what we want and if the same voice told me to jump in front of a car I would probably ignore it for my own safety, same applies with alcohol. Keep going, sometimes opportunity only knox once, welcome it in.

Hi all, I’m checking in on my second day on this app and feeling good. Didn’t get much sleep last night - couldn’t stop binge watching Netflix! I’m really enjoying reading these threads and it’s nice to know I’m not alone with some of my personal doubts. My anxiety is really starting to build due to financial strains that seem to deepen and this is stressing me out. Remaining mindful of the stress is my best remedy at this point…

One of the Hill Country’s nicknames is Flash Flood Alley. Has to do with both the climate, very severe storms occurring, and the geology/topography of the area (read this for instance: http://uwecgeography368texashillcountry.weebly.com/flash-flood-alley.html
I’ve been there 4 times and seen a couple of big storms but no flash floods luckily. My friend who’s been born and raised there has been blocked from the outside world a number of times because of flooding, and has seen some awful human tragedies because of it because she was working in EMS for a long time.
