Checking in, 309 days a proud and sober, non-drinker!
Will tell them here at the front post bless you
Thank you mariaā¦ im still waiting die an o.r. . Its the corona and an official sunday today in figuren of speach couse of the celebration that ww2 ended 75 years ago. Freedomday
They wont forget me and it must be done also couse iām well over the max # hours that is within the safe part of a bowel obstructionā¦ but the Waiting is dāmn annoying if they tell you 9 in the morning at first
@Girlinterrupted the dreaming is indeed a good and sober sign. When under influence you might dream but will not recall and the the brain starts up again beĆÆng healthy and kinda reflects all kinds of weird things to give a place to the things and stressy shit that happened in the meanwhile.
You rock ! And you git thisā¦ no mather how many times one does fall dont mean shitā¦ hoe often one stands up is whats important !
Proud @ ya and s.o. if needed
Still Waiting for an o.r. but imma gonna rest a bit and let you all know when its done.
Day 7 sober. Still trembling and not confident. Last time I failed on day 10.
Wish you well folks
Day 1
Actually feeling really good this morning. Felt incredible to wake up after a decent sleep and to not feel regret or physically feeling ill. I am so thankful for this group. Everyone is so supportive. Itās nice to see familiar faces and to know that if they can stay sober, I can stay clean. Iām going to do it this time. 1st goalā¦ 1 week. Going to keep busy today with cleaning. Having my coffee 1st while on this group. Going to see about checking in at an online meeting (once I figure out where to find them). And then enjoy the day clean. We all deserve a better life So proud of all of you for however much time you all have. This isnt easy. But its sooo worth it xo
Day 790. Focusing all energy in a positive direction. Oh and drinking coffee haha have a great morning everyone.
Iām struggling so bad right now.
I know Iām doing whatās best by staying soberā¦but so much bad shit has happened in the past year and itās all just HAUNTING me right now.
One second Iām okayā¦then the next second my head is stuck in a past moment just absolutely tormenting me with the painful memory!
Not sure if itās any conciliation for you but at least half the world is feeling like you are right now Ingrid. Itās a crazy rollercoaster weāre on. Way too much bad shit had happened and is still happening. Up and down and loop de loop we go and where weāre going nobody knowsā¦For me the only true certainty right now is that drinking or drugging would help me with absolutely nothing. Instead it would stop the up and down for me and turn all this in a descent into a pitch black hole with no escape possible. My sobriety is what keeps me going. No joke. And I think that goes for all of us here. Keep going friend. Sober is the way to be. Hang in there.
I wish I had some sound advice for you Chris. Instead all I can really say is that this feeling WILL go away with time whether you drink or not. Drinking is useless in this situation. Finding healthier coping mechanims might help but donāt ask me what they are. Know that you are not alone. For me thatās a big one. Thatās about it. One foot in front of the other. Success.
Thank you so much!
Heyā¦ Listenā¦ Youāre right, this is exactly how you were the last time, and we really much all get to know each other really well on here, because I felt it happening for you. I know you canāt go back and read your before posts, but think back to it. Read your newly sober postsā¦ Are you doing RD right now? Keep reaching out on here. Yell and scream if you have to. I know that you donāt want to drink, but it kills me seeing your inner peace compromised, because itās so damn beautiful when you have it. Stay strong. Wish I could take the feeling away.
Iām so sorry youāre struggling right now. Youāre in the right place, and anything we can do to help, just let us know. Some days just seem unbearable, Iām sorry. Glad youāre here <3
Thoughts n prayers my friend
Thank you.
So you know this is that moment, you know this is where it went wrong before so this is very likely your wall. Everything youāve learnt to this date is to use at this moment, fuck all the tools nows the time to do absolutely nothing, Iāve had days in the past where I know if I leave the house I will buy drink. Grip your chair and rock like a baby if you have to but donāt drink this one last time, itās time to see whatās on the other side of this feeling. Bath, sleep, curl up in a ball but whatever you do sit this one out, stay on here with us bc nothing can happen while your with us. Iām not going to say be strong, this time youāve got to be sensible, your doing so well, focus on what youāve learnt, focus on your truth. To Thine Own Self Be Trueā¦ and breathe.
