I honestly don’t know how you are managing to stay on top of your mental health down there I have a couple of friends and they are struggling big time, one of which I’m actually really worried about I really hope restrictions start to ease soon xx
Checking in on day 263.
Haven’t checked in for a while. Got a bit overwhelmed with it all, and was sick of looking at my phone all day.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
hey everybody, it’s been a while, i’m sorry for dropping off the face of this app completely. i recently remembered how wonderful and supportive you all are, and i felt the deep need to respect you with an update. good news: i am 49 days sober!! and actually, amazingly, i found out 2 weeks into my sobriety that i am pregnant being pregnant is the most massive anti-alcohol campaign my universe could ever send me. the poison has completely lost all appeal now that i have a precious child to be healthy for. my entire perspective on life has shifted and i’m so grateful for the positive changes. so much healing has been happening thru this process as i face the mess alcohol abuse left in my life. i’ve found so much peace and forgiveness, compassion, selfless surrender and excitement for the future. thanks again everybody, for all that you are and all that you do, sending you all so much love
So, I was in a car accident yesterday. My fault. The NYer in me came out and I made a poor split second decision. Some dipshit was next to the left turn lane stopped to to make a left turn. I’m all pissed off as to why this fucktard is not IN the turn lane. So, I look in my mirrors and there is just a pick-up truck coming, so once he passed, I changed lanes. Changed lanes right into his damn gigantic metal trailer Then I did some fun ricocheting between the trailer and van in the turn lane. My car was so bad (at first).
Here is what I am grateful for:
No one got hurt
The accident happened right outside an auto shop
The van took off
The trailer guy was really nice and had minimum damage, so I CashApp’d him $100 for his light.
The nice man at the auto shop rigged up my car to make it drivable, it initially was not. He didn’t even charge me.
My car seems to be driving fine with no alignment issues. Which is good because I have a 2.5 hour drive today for an industry state conference.
The thought of drinking never even crossed my mind.
A little lesson in patience here. Although there was no way for me to see the trailer due to the height of my car, size of his pickup, and height of the trailer, I’ve had enough close calls with trailers that I should have waited to see if one was there. Literally couldn’t see it. I was annoyed by the dipshit blocking traffic and made a hasty decision. I’m sore snd still have a headache. Who knows how much it will cost to repair my car, but I’m not even thinking about that until after my big exam on October 10th. In my back pocket it goes. Happy sober day TS
Working on day 4, Thursday is a day where my drinking usually starts but I have a plan and I am sticking to it. This forum does help alot! I was down for a long time now I am getting back up!
