Checking in daily to maintain focus #19

Day 262.
I’m amazed at how much mental damage my ex did on me. I don’t really know how to recover from that and become a better person.
And I don’t know how I’m goong through all this sober???

I can’t even image the pain of letting go you and your family are going thru. I’m glad you’re sharing and letting us in. We had a little spaniel when I went to 1st grade and he needed to be put down (health issues and old age) during my highschool senior year. He was family. Almost two decades later I still miss him but with love not pain. Sending you all and ol’ Moosy many hugs :two_hearts:

You can do it. Enjoy the food. Make sure you have a refreshing cold beverage. When you pile your tipsy friends into the car and put that key in the ignition stone cold sober, you will feel so proud and confident. I think it helps to have something to look forward to at home. Have fun and let us know how it turned out!

Good morning, or which ever applies. I’m so grateful I woke up today, and sober. Day 29. I have been really involved with my recovery people as of lately and it has been more than amazing. I’m travelling to Tennessee tonight to hear a speaker and grab some food with a few from the meetings. I’m blessed beyond measure. Also getting closer to what will hopefully be my sponsor, God willing. Have an amazing sober Saturday!!

11 months sober today, man what a difference. This was the first milestone that didn’t fuck with me. I hope my brain isn’t saving up for the big 365. Stay strong battle on my friends.

Hi Charlie. As long as you keep your sights on sobriety/getting clean you will get there. As Robert the Bruce said to his men after watching a spider building its web “if at first you don’t succeed try, try again”. There are plenty of resources to help you and it’s great you have engaged with this forum. Learn from your past and build your future. :muscle::nose:

That is excellent news, Charlie. It’s obvious how close you are to your family, and they seem like awesome people. Safe travels during the long trek from CO to FL.

Charlie, I really want to see you succeed. If you have a sponsor then you go to meetings? I can’t think of anything better for your future and having your loving family all around than being the best man you can be.
You know all about the urges and it doesn’t last. I didn’t realize you’ve been here for as long as you have. Come on here when you feel crappy, close to caving or any other feeling…
Much love to you brother! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
