Tell them they’re being idiots. You’re doing something good for yourself, keep it up. It’s such a waste of…everything.

Misery loves company. Good job being above the influence! Keep your mind on your why and if necessary remove them from your space if they continue to disrespect your boundaries. Excellent job on 6 days!

This is huge! Thanks for sharing. I was just talking to my husband about his frustrations with work and he said the same, that he has to reframe toward gratitude and knows that he “gets” to do the things about his job he loves. He gets to work at home in a stable, secure job during a pandemic. It sparked my thinking also. I get to take my dog for a walk and have a think and make her happy and healthy instead of, “I have to walk the dog.” Etc. A good reframing tool, thanks for validating.

You don’t need that shit. And pardon my language, but tell them to fuck off! If they can’t support you you don’t need them around you.
But seriously find a time to talk to your brother and explain how important it is to you. And tell him how you feel.
As in I feel like _____
I would not say “you make make feel _______
I feel angry.
I feel disrespected
I feel unloved etc.
and keep checking in. We are all stronger together and we are all worth more than a stupid drink or 2 or 12.

I was literally about to post a shout out to see how your doing, I’ve not commented on your situation bc words seem pretty futile but your in my prayers. I’m proud of you and your sobriety right now.

Glad to see you checking in on day 3. I totally get you being disappointed in having to reset. But no one can take away those 60/days you had before. No one. So what! you had to reset. Big deal! It hurts. But maybe you can learn from it. You know you can do it. Keep checking in. You’re so worth it.

102 days sober. Finding more and more weird things on this journey. There was a time in my life where I would get drunk each night and watch the same videos on Instagram over and over again. I still have them saved in my IG account. Lately, I’ve gone and watched them a few times and they bring back every single feeling I had when I was laying on the couch, nearly blacked out, and watching them before. Tonight, I seriously considered going to the liquor store and drinking just so I could experience all that euphoria again. So dumb. The weather is having a similar effect on me, unfortunately. Triggers everywhere man. Gotta fight for sobriety. Seeing a new counselor first thing in the morning. Hope it goes well.

I’m like that with certain music. I cant listen to certain music now because it triggers me like your IG does. I literally get myself into such a worked up anxious state fantasising about getting on when I hear certain music… I cant even listen to it now because its to triggering… I often wonder- will this feeling ever fade? Will I ever be able to enjoy the music I like without getting over whelming urges to use?
