I know it took me a few knocks on the head til I got it. It’s different for everyone but I had to look at life as it was meant to be lived; without the drinking or other things to help make it bearable. We are strong enough!
A mindset change for me finally clicked; it’s not an option or a choice anymore. You’ll do it, if I can you can, my friend.

Day 61. Been a good day. Worked on my 4th step. Almost done, thank God. Starting to worry a bit about finding a job. I could get one that pays next to nothing but I do not want to do that. Sent my resume in for a supervisor position but haven’t heard a thing. I am praying for things to work out exactly how they are supposed to. Now I just need to have some faith

945 days alcohol free. Anxiety has been through the roof lately… seems I’m always worried if something is wrong with me. But then I’m afraid to go to the Dr cuz of what might happen. It’s like a revolving door lately. Can barely sleep and having panic attacks quite frequently and today a big headache that won’t go away. At least I’m not drinking. Happy fuckin Tuesday lol

I felt the same way for so long, anxiety about possible medical issues, about going to the doctor, etc. I also have a history of anxiety attacks and of course drinking didn’t help. I realize you have a lot of sober time, but when I read this thread it helped me get past my fear and finally make my appointment. I though I’d share just in case it can help you. Scared to death of the doctor

)!

61 days and finally got caught up on my sleep. Normally when I’m working I get super excited about it that I don’t sleep my normal 8 hours. So last night I slept for almost 14hrs lol it was great and much needed.

There is no need to apologize to me. Every day spent sober is a miracle. Progress not perfection, my friend. I’ve seen progress!

- I haven’t posted in a couple days. I’ve been going through some grief processing. I know it’s not out of no-where but I haven’t had these overwhelming feelings in a long time. My daughters 14th Birthday is coming up. My middle son Daniel returned to in-person school and that means I drive him to school (we’re school of choice, so no bussing there). Well after I drop him off and I’m alone in my car the past 2 days I’ve had these very overwhelming feelings of my daughter and all the things I would be doing with her if she was here with us and what she would be like. Also, her birth and everything that led to us finding out she wasn’t going to be with us very long if at all. I miss her every single day but it’s really really overwhelming right now and I’m not sure how to get through it. I talked to my sister-in-law today and told her what I’ve going through and she was so supportive and comforting but I still have such an emptiness…an emptiness I haven’t felt in a long time almost as if it was yesterday that I held my baby girl for her first and her last breaths. I don’t have urges to use but I know if I don’t get this out I’ll bottle it up and then that leads to destructive behavior. It helps I’m back to work full time. Keeps me busy. Hope you all have a good night

Checking in on day 24 no devil juice. Great day at work. Little bit of anxiety when I got home. Ended up taking my son to our local fishing store then we went for a walk around our neighborhood creek. Feeling a lot better now. Hope everyone is doing well on this beautiful Tuesday evening.

Hey mama…sending you a big mama hug. You need one. I dont doubt for a minute that you will always have these moments. They are such real, raw feelings. Proud of you today for sharing, for feeling, and for trusting yourself to stay the course. Big love to you
