Sending love and strength your way. Hate to hear you’re feeling this way. Hopefully by now at least the speaking part is in the rear view window. You are more than enough and anyone that doesn’t realize that is not worth your energy.

You are soooo (good) enough.
Just as you are, the whole package.
and maybe… the defects were once a wall to keep you safe. they will come down now the do not need to serve you anymore.
you do the work, you do the service. you give it all.
Maybe tell that to the little boy. Good enough! perfect even when letting the guards down and show all

I don’t know if you see me as one of those people, but no hate here. I do not hate you in the least bit. I may have disliked some of your actions, but not you as a person. You’re a good guy and sometimes make what I think is a mistake, but that’s what we’re human for. Sorry for the late reply btw, I’m very inactive and enjoying the lack of stress

Are there any guidance type counselors you could speak too? I spent some good time and money on a bachelor’s degree and after working in the field less than 10 years walked away and never looked back. Only you can know where you want your career path to take you. I know it’s not easy, but stay strong and true to yourself.

21 days, I am checking the times I have cravings, a couple of days ago I had 8 during the whole day. Today I got the first one at 7:40 pm, I am happy. Whenever I get the voice telling me “drink! Look for your glass of wine” I count it. As if counting helped me keeping it detached, a number. It is helping.
I am collecting sober days and I don’t get suicidal thoughts, not real ones, just they were there in the back of my mind…
I am grateful to myself. I am glad.

Hey you! It’s good to see you back on track! Day 3 is awesome. And meetings are the best way to stay sober. Even if your day was shit. It can’t be as shitty as when you’d have a drink… So it’s all good. And tomorrow will be even better :hibiscus:

Well done on 3 weeks. That’s awesome. Keep it going!

Checking in in the end of day 6. Tired. Had a busy week. So it might be an early night for me today. Talked to my sponsor. Need to read on the 12 steps App. And make my gratitude list. I am so thankful I found her! Life is good at the moment :heart_eyes:

Checking in at Day #62. Life is crazy - voting madness and revised manuscript due to my editor by Monday. Honestly, I don’t know how I’d be keeping all these balls if I were still drinking.

I’m late to the show but I want to let you know you’re a great guy. Period. Those feelings you’re feeling are human feelings. I feel them too. We work on them by staying sober and working our sobriety one day at a time. It’s hard tedious work and the progress is slow but we are on the right way, you and me and all of us here. Thanks for being here and thanks for sharing both the good and the bad friend. We’re growing

Hey, I can totally relate and lots of it can be written by me. So much stuff in my head now, I cannot write this down. But I feel with you.

Day 1416. My son is struggling with schoolwork. I tried to help him with Spanish and he didn’t want me to help! Meanwhile most of the answers he’s written on an assignment are wrong. I printed out the verb conjugations for “ser” and am going to ask him to look at his answers again.

Thought as much Charley!! @Hailstrom :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::rofl:

Your post reminded me of a tv show ‘way, way back in the day’ called George and Mildred.
I can appreciate the similarities :wink:

I remember that!
