Day 8 - started off really good, woke up clear headed and went for a morning run, all good. Then a couple of things happened thatās made me feel pretty crap. Want to drink to block it out, but I know thatās not actually going to help in the long run. So just sat here crying and feeling s*** , I guess it will pass

Quick check in - what a gorgeous day! Iām going to spend it outside as much as I can and that starts with a long walk with my best girl, Miss Lupe. Then a leisurely day of packing and getting the car packed for tomorrow! Itās going to be a great day!

Checking in on day 105. I thought when I got to 30 days Iād feel great, then I thought day 60 was the magic number, then at 90 I realized I just needed to chill the fk out. I was clinging so tightly to staying sober I wasnāt enjoying much. For today Iām happy I didnāt cry at my morning meeting, that my share was light, simple and short. Iām still awkward at meetings but always feel better afterwards and happy to have socialized instead of isolate. It still feels weird waking up sober and not having to do inventory of all the shit I destroyed the day/night before. For today Iām excited about a day filled with house chores and football. 
Beachside Sunday morning meeting today was a perfect start to this day.

The only disappointment would be if you gave up. You are fighting like hell. You want this, you will have it. Just need to dig deep and find something different that youāve not tried yet.
It took me a very long time and many relapses before I figured out what worked for me. I let people tell me what I was supposed to do for years, but I kept failing. Then they said I did it wrong, but I didnāt.
We all have different personalities, and mine didnāt align with the most successful method out there. Made me feel like shit and hopeless. THEN, I finally found my thing and I wish to god I found it 30+ years ago. However, I still have the rest of my life and you do too. Just never stop trying

Thank you I felt that change too. And I want that back. My emotions get the best of me and i get so overwhelmed and I said fuck it and caved. But I realized something just now while typing thisā¦ im not on my meds. Bcuz of my using I stopped taking my meds long ago. And now trying to get back on my full dose of medication has been a struggle bcuz the side effects suck. BUTā¦ I have borderline personality disorder and PTSD and my emotions need to be leveled out which is why Iām on meds. So I HAVE to get back on them. Iāll have to start at a low dose and work my way up.

It will pass Kady. Youāre facing your shit and dealing with it instead of hiding yourself in booze. Crying is good. Youāre facing life on lifeās terms. Youāre doing great actually.

Iāll be here. Itād be so nice to show you all around a bit.
@ShadowFax Make sure you do what is needed for your sobriety too Roland. Realize what you need in your life. And know booze and drugs are NOT a part of that. Take care. One day at a time is an excellent tool.

Day 48 Kinda a rough today. I thought Iād be taking a lot of heat about my choice not to do Thanksgiving as I felt it would endanger my sobriety. Instead it seems no one cares that Iām not gonna be there. Thatās an interesting turn of events I didnāt expect but edifying. Makes me want a drink bad but I aināt gonna do that.
