AFAF… Alcohol free as fuck?

I agree that passive aggressive is not usually very nice or effective. But sometimes it just feels necessary! Of course it isn’t necessary… But then neither is ice cream :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Checking in at day 241.
In months it will be 8 months clean tomorrow, a new milestone. It’s going pretty well I have to say, but since a few days I sometimes think when will it go wrong again? It’s been going well for too long now. Silly huh? The previous times of my sobriety went well until it suddenly went completely wrong. And I don’t see where it goes wrong. Okay, I’ve learned from my previous relapses and know how to act and what not to do but what if new things happen again? Also on the last time of sobriety I already felt like the pause button had been pressed for a while and out of the blue the movie starts playing again and i start to use. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my sobriety or something, I do, so I only have these thoughts for a few days. It keeps me busy but it’s not a concern (I think).
I hope this is a phase. It all feels so new!

Something else that I really really like. My 15 year old son is flying to New York today with his foster father and foster brother for a sort of men’s vacation. I had my son on the phone yesterday he was so excited. He has never flown before and now flying for 8 hours for the first time. For those who didn’t know yet, my son and I live in the Netherlands. We just don’t live together. I am so excited for him!

Cecking in on day 118 sober and 899 days substance free. Last night I heard and seen a group people who were drunk and acting the way they were. I wasnt judging them but refecting on my own self. That was me at one point, the way i acted, the words I would use…it made me very happy to be sober now. Its been a real struggle with staying sober, especially with the nice weather here. It’s patio season and that for me when I walk by a bar or a restaurant is a huge trigger. When I go out to eat, am I the only one who has a hard time not ordering a drink?

I’m slipping into a depression state of mind. I’m so anxious and worried about the future. I drank yesterday and feel very guilty. I just don’t know…I’m sad.

Today I will attend my Saturday morning meeting and then try to get back into my discipline mode of prayer, reading and meditation. I really need God to help me. My sponsor informed me that he believes I haven’t accepted Step One yet. So Step One will be my priority this week.

I’m so sad and anxious…just pretty tough. I can’t stand this depression…it is killing me and now I’m crying as I am writing these words.

This community means the world to me…I must continue the fight. Thank you all for accepting me…I’m in rough shape.
