Day 90

Can’t believe its already been 3 months. I am beyond ecstatic!

Historically this has been the time when the thought of the drink trickles back into my head. I know I can reach out to everyone on this app or my sponsor. I’m glad to have this day sober and will continue to take things one day at a time.

Hope everyone has a great sober day!

Happy Birthday friend! I hope you can find some acceptance in your situation and recieving help, this was always a struggle for me too and it sounds like a rough time physically as well but I’m thankful there are people that can help you through it. Gratitude always helps me get out if my head spins about what ISN’T working to shift my focus on all that IS working. Hugs! Hope you have some happy moments found in your special day today.

Sad morning. Just painful. I moved out a month ago, today. I feel so empty. I just keep waiting for things to stop hurting. I feel a complete lack of meaning without her around and I have been trying to swallow this lump in my throat all morning. That was my best friend and I just can’t find a way to make any of this feel better.

Yesterday I found a strand of her hair in my clothes and I burst out crying because that’s a part of her and it’s the closest I’d been to her in weeks. How fucked is that…
I still blame myself for all of this and I honestly hate myself for it. I hate myself for being an overthinker, for being a perfectionist, for questioning everything, and for always driving people away. I can’t stand myself nor do I understand myself, and yet she loved me and understood me.

My 2 years is in a few weeks, and really I just don’t give a shit. There is 0 chance of me drinking, no concern there, but nonetheless the milestone just feels like a whole bunch of nothing.

That’s all I’ve got. I’m sure you’re all tired of reading this shit so I’m sorry. I have nowhere else. Have a good day folks.

I made it a whole year. This is unbelievable.

I wish I had a magic wand that would make all of your pain go away. Hugs Tristan! In my experience, finding self love is the most important love of all because it sets the tone of every relationship we have. If we aren’t happy with ourselves, nothing else will ever line up. It was one of the HARDEST things I ever had to do because I didn’t love myself at all. I started by finding one thing I liked about myself a day. By day 2 or 3, I was like wtf, why can’t I come up with anything? I really had to start digging deep to figure out who the hell I even was and to start getting comfortable in my own skin again. It’s a process and it’s not easy but you are an amazing person and I hope one day you’ll see what the rest of us sees. Lots of love to you!

Day 1 again for me
I was so close to 120 days and F’d it up.

I had a debaucherous weekend that I would rather forget. Started with a single beer I found hidden in the back of the fridge. Went downhill from there. I am trying to find the fight to start again. I am finding re-starting very hard. Oh well, I didn’t lose all of the good sober days I had prior. It makes me so angry, sad, ashamed, etc. Onwards and upwards.
