Checking in sober.


It says almost there at the top.
I wonder where that is?
I wonder if I’ll know when I’m there?

You’ll get there. You’re still here with us, immediatly admitting your faults, which really says something. I know how hard and long it took for me to finally admit I was struggling. Being able to be honest, especially with yourself, shows growth. If you get back up and keep on trying, theres no failure in my eyes.

Day 17. Idk. Thinking too much. Like the 2 months sober I had before I ever attended AA. Not much of an option now. I know theres Zoom, which does help, but I am such an in person kind of person. I’d literally rather drive to the local internet store to ask them a question than be on the phone. I was going thru my phone today deleting unnecessary photos and texts. I saw the conversation I’ve had with my sponsor. Last time we spoke was May 24th. I’d already told her of my relapse, and minimal issues but I always felt like I let her down. I dont like feeling like a burden to others. There was already too much going on in everyone’s life at the time and I didn’t want to add to her stress (I felt I was helping her by not helping myself). I’ve heard of people dropping sponsees and now I feel like I’ve dropped myself. I know she’ll be accepting when I reach out(I hope) but I just feel…I dont even know. I’m sure some of you understand this feeling. Just one of those days I guess. Feeling bad for the wrong decisions I’ve made. My life was finally starting to come together, in a perfect, scheduled harmony, until everything got shut down. New resentments I’ve made this year. Thinking I should restart my stepwork.

This is where my mind was around the time I decided to give AA a try. It helped immediately. To let go and accept at the same time. Sometimes theres just something blocking me from doing anything. It’s been a few ugh days now. I have learned a lot already from the stepwork I did, and meetings and other research. Coming back I feel like I know what to do and it will get easier as long as I keep at it. Just sometimes my mind wanders so far away from it all.

I normally just post my narcotics screen because it’s my main doc, but I saw my 3 months of not using benzos was coming up and decided to post it at 3 months.

@MrsOdh and @Asenath great job on your 90 days!

@Natnat you’re doing great! Each day is success.

Thank you :blush:
For some reason I feel so much better now.
Still working on living in and enjoying the moment. Without the need of some kind of getaway. I think that’s the tricky part.
