Day 2
Feeling pretty good about my recovery. Having some weird dreams but instead of them being a trigger for when I wake up, I’m grateful that I’m clean. I love being able to take care of my responsibilities and I truly love being clean. I need to start listening more to my heart (that inner voice) and start doing the next right action. My mind will just lie to me saying that I need just one. Hoping to reach some little milestones this time with my recovery (first milestone for me is 2 weeks… which is usually hard for me to get to). Hope everyone is doing well also!

When we are on the roller coaster, don’t forget to hang on! This lockdown has us all going a little cra-cra. Play the tape and remember what fresh hell awaits if we pickup. If your going through hell, keep on going. Don’t slow down, if you’re scared don’t show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you’re there.

Feel like writing an update on my previous check in today.
At this moment I feel once again overwhelmed and tired of this current situation regarding covid 19.
I lose my patients a lot faster then usual.
My music lessons have been cancelled since last month. My band rehearsels too. We had a gig booked for june but guess what…
my brain can’t take it much longer I think. I do my best to feel good. Both mentally and physicly. It’s hard somedays…
Running out of things to lift my spirits

Up and down, up and down Jonachav… It’s hard times and I know the feeling all too well. I think the key is in the ‘some’ you mention. It’s not all days. Not all is stupid and sad and depressing. We have to find the things that we’re grateful for. Sometimes that’s really hard to do. They are there though, for you, for me. We will make it through together friend. Keep going. One day at a time.

Well, in the past when I’d get urges or cravings I haven’t come here to show my weakness. I’d end up coming back with my hat in hand.
I’ve been having really strong ones off and on since last night and I’m letting you know. I have tears writing and dont know why.
I’m doing ok rn, I don’t want to give up my 49.56 days. I hate asking for help; you guys are like family and I need a kick in the ass now.

That’s why this place his here Donna. For help. Glad you are posting. You help so many it’s about time you got some help too. Hating to ask for help… Yes. We tried to help ourselves by drinking and drugging. No need for others. That doesn’t work no more. Alone we are helpless and alone we are powerless over our addictions. Asking for help is actually a sign of strength friend. Of understanding what our problem is. Hang in there. Keep sharing. Stay sober. Hugs.

Donna, play that tape all the way through. It’s not worth it at all!! Play some loud music and dance around like a fool. 
Or just listen to the lyrics and put yourself in a happy place. Stay strong. Sending you big hugs.

Stay strong Donna and remember why you’re here on this journey. Read back through all your beautiful posts, where you’re so kindly and lovingly helping others, and apply some of that loving-kindness to yourself too. You deserve it. Don’t listen to those troublesome thoughts, listen to your heart. Thanks for reaching out and asking for help, that takes so much courage and strength, you are amazing!!

Day 125
Feeling relationship stress at the moment. Trying to work out what is my own defensiveness, busyness, etc and what is him being a dick. Maybe it doesn’t matter, and we just need to move forward. It certainly was not the case that I could stop drinking and everything would be hunky-dory.
