Three steps forward, two steps back. Total cliché but the truth nonetheless. Another one is that life isn’t easier sober, but absolutely it’s better. Or at least we have the possibility to make life better when we’re sober. Yes, life is totally unfair. Still it’s up to me and you to make the best of it. Glad you’re here sharing Steak. One day at a time.

At least you’re back on the wagon. Now you have experienced firsthand that pink clods are fatal. Next time you’ll know to be more careful when you are in one or just left one.
By taking responsibility. I don’t know if you are in control of your body, but I think you do. So you drank voluntarily. No one forced you, so that’s not an excuse not to take responsibility.
Welcome to life. That’s what life is, it’s ups and downs.
Good luck with getting your consecutive days back, you’ve got this

Day 4
Stayed up all night last night with the plan of trying to fix my sleeping patterns. I’ve never been someone who could stay up for several days, even loaded with caffeine, so I took a two hour nap to get me through the rest of today. Needless to say, I’m exhausted and all I really want is some quality time with my bed.
The only thing that is pulling me out of this and just focusing on making it through until 6pm, is the fact that my cat’s behavior has been changing recently in ways that clearly outline possible serious health problems. I’m in the middle of simultaneously selling a piece of rental property and refinancing my residence (which has been incredibly stressful–more than it should have been normally), so at the moment money is a little tight until the property is sold at the end of the month. I’d planned to take her into the vet at the beginning of of next month, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to wait. To be fair, the cat is 18 years old, so she’s outlived a lot of house cats, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to let her go. She’s had relatively good health until this year.
My ex lover has offered to pay part of the cost of any medical tests, but I’m kind of loathe to accept the offer because it’s not their cat and we’re not together anymore so it just doesn’t seem right to accept that offer. Besides, that part of me ego that doesn’t want to accept help from anyone is saying, “I can put this on credit.” Either way, the cat needs to go to the vet.

Hi @jenajen
We in recovery are very sensitive people. Our sensitivity stands alone with no help from our addictive substance inside us. As time goes by and we get stronger in our sobriety, the sensitivity will begin to fade and we become the real person we are meant to be.
I feel your pain but it will pass. Stay the course. There are many on these pages who have withstood this challenge and now are glorious and free. Soon you would be too.

Still brooding about my relapse the other day, but at least I’m clear minded. I did some cleaning and crafting this morning.

Bottom line is the cat needs to go to the vet right. Couldn’t you lend some of the money from your ex? Not nice either I know but when paid back you’re not owing anybody anything… Hoping for the best for your cat. 18 is old but these days they can grow older than that too.

You are definitely right. I got the old lady a vet appointment and we’ll see what happens. She’s been a great companion and I’d hate to lose her. My ex will likely insist I don’t pay her back if I take the money, even if I insist that I’ll pay it back. She’s really attached to the cat. Which is part of my delima, but you are right that the cat needs to get checked out so I’ll make it happen.
