Waking up on day 16 feeling groggy. Had a rough evening and night, family drama. People can be so disappointing and predictable. I’m tired but I’m sober and intend to stay that way. Have a great day everyone.

I wish I could say I was surprised but I’ve seen bigger and better people than you relapse, it’s the nature of the beast. It’s a cliché but we fall 100 times and get up 101. Simple.

I’ve already put my counter up for today but I think I need to just write down all that’s in my brain to maintain the focus I need to get through the day.
There is a big part of me that wants to end the recovery journey I’m on because I have that uncertainty cloud over me, there is this niggling chit chat of ‘nobody will know’. I don’t know how to say it but I miss having my person… The one you know if you killed someone they would Bury the body with you. I’m sat watching the clock tick for 2 reasons, the first one it’s another minute I’m sober, another moment where I haven’t caved in and the second is I’m one hour closer to doing test and knowing the outcome. The only thing in my head that keeps just being on a loop is don’t push your one person away, don’t destroy what you have, even when you don’t want to push yourself to talk do it talk to your loved ones.
Doing everything on your own is hard its doable but it’s hard.
I’m scared every fibre in my body wants to just close the door and hide under the blanket… There isn’t sadness nor anger yet just this big fear cloud that wants me to pick up so I don’t confront this alone… But I’ve already told it to piss off as facing this alone has got to mean something, its got to be better than me masking and hiding behind drugs to repel the emotions that are bouncing about.
This is new, raw and has me in a vulnerable situation where I can either flight and go back to using and not go through with anything or I fight until there is no fight left in me but can stand straight knowing I did it sober… Its a battle and I hope I keep on this path of fighting.
I have to maintain focus and that means trying with all my energy to focus on the good that this is doing for me…

Day 44. Trying to collect my thoughts and get ready to start my day and week. Yesterday was rough. I spoke with my dad, and he’d been drinking, so it didn’t go well. He’s upset because I won’t be attending Thanksgiving this year (last year was awful, and it generally stresses me out and makes me want to drink). Right after I got done trying to talk sense to a drunk person, which is a really dumb idea, my narcissist ex got in touch. He called from a number I didn’t know. He’d also been drinking and was crying and telling me how sorry he is and how much he misses me. I went no contact with him on February 15, so it really shook me up. I had a hard time sleeping after I got off the phone. I was upset, but also just really, really hollow. Sort of like my emotional tank is empty right now. I just feel like I don’t have any way to give the people I love what they want or need from me. I’m trying so hard to pick up the pieces of my own life, trying so hard to concentrate on making sure I stay sober and keep focusing on the path in front of me that I just don’t have space for much else right now. Guilt I know so well washed all over me last night. This is one of the things I’ve been working on: codependency. In the past I’ve done whatever I could to make the people around me happy, even when it hurt me, drained me, depressed me. This behavior was one of the reasons I drank.
Sooo…maybe this is what boundaries look and feel like? I did not agree to attend thanksgiving, even after Dad tried to talk me into it. I told the ex that while I acknowledge that he’s sorry, he’s not changed any of his behavior, so I still don’t believe anything he says. I don’t know. I’m still all jumbled up inside. But now I have to get to work and keep moving forward. I’m not going to drink today.

Day 63: There is a lot of pain, uncertainty, and frustration on this thread, but also a lot of joyous occasions and hope and fighting energy in everyone’s words. What connects us all is that we are here, reaching out beyond ourselves to this community for strength, for recognition, for camaraderie. I want to send out my love and hope for everyone’s peace today. I will take more time to respond to people individually later on, but I hope you can feel my virtual hug from here for now.
