Last night I started thinking about how long alcohol has been a problem in my life and when I really stopped caring about myself. I was able to pinpoint this to approx 6 years ago after the breakup of a long term relationship. It made me very sad to think it has been going on this long and I have pretended to be ok with how I have been feeling and looking for many years. I have let myself go and I want to get my old self back. That is my focus for today and the future.

Yes we can! 
Iām on day 10. I tried to quit on my own and ended up in the emergency room followed by a hospital stay. Iāve been going through some brain fog but I think Iām past the worst of it. Iām trying to keep myself occupied and get some daily exercise. My sleep patterns are starting to improve. Iām thankful to have found this site. I am not alone.

Checking in day 333 (halfway into the devilās (lol))
Felt a bit into an overthinking/obsessive relapse on and off the past month. Non-booze related but work and personnal projects and growthā¦
I think you can fall from recovery by being too obsessed about some kind of self growing goals if you forget your why and if you forget to stay presentā¦
Just came here to say hello and remember where it all started: with sobriety and a lot of acceptance and self compassion.
Hope everyone is doing good
