Thanks! Who’d a thunk it??
So much better on this team!
Freakin love that…thank you! I may need to use this more often.
Thanks Eric I’m cleared to go back into public thank God!
I am sure you are doing them thoroughly, @anon60334405. Glad you are finding them useful. I am oddly looking forward to the 4th, not so much the 5th.
After probably the toughest couple of months of my life and hitting another new low I am checking in on day 2.
Have not had a good time of late and know that if it doesn’t stick this time that I may not get another.
First appointment with a therapist today, hopefully it will help.
I trusted my sponsor, so it was good doing the 5th, the way it came out was not on my will. It just flowed, it was all in sequence and felt so good once I was done. I felt so much weight be lifted off my shoulders. The thing is yes I felt the weight lifted, and I was like ok god take these away from me. I still have to work, the 6th and 7th step everyday it isn’t just up and lifted, but in that moment it sure felt like it. Now I will sit and practice the 6th and 7th step for the next few weeks and when my sponsor says we’re ready we will move on. Don’t skip your prayers, and trust your sponsor.
I’m glad you’re feeling better!
First time posting on Checking in Daily. I’m on Day 2 after a relapse over the last week. Reminding myself today of the many reasons why being without alcohol is the right choice for me. My body and mind and emotions are more balanced when I’m not drinking. I feel more clear. I am admitting to myself that I am an alcoholic and I cannot moderate drinking. Grateful for this forum!
Nice! Congratulations!
Thanks!
My first time checking in… I’m new and have been reading and enjoying everything since I started 9 days ago. Day 9 sober from alcohol and glad to be here.
437 Days. My coworker’s test came back negative so I’m out of isolation. I wish I had received this news yesterday. Unfortunately, I had to miss my favorite woman’s AA meeting last night which is always followed by a nice chat over dinner. I know others don’t take this virus as serious as I do and probably wouldn’t have isolated like I did but this is how this shit spreads. Anyway, life goes on and it’s back to work tomorrow.
Thank goodness for that, Lisa! Phew. Sorry you missed your meeting, I imagine it’s a welcome change of pace when it happens. Hope you’ve had a few words with your coworker about staying home when having ANY doubts!
I had a text message exchange with her and nicely explained how I felt. Normally I would have attacked her for her stupid choices but thankfully sobriety has given me a calmer approach to these situations. She was apologetic and assured me this will not happen again. We’ll see.
Thank you! I know I’m normally “ok” until around day 14 or 15 so I’m going to keep checking in and hopefully it’ll help me through it this time. Reading everyone’s stories does help reaffirm that this is what I need.
We’re all here for you. Please reach out when you’re struggling.
