AFAFā€¦ 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 isnā€™t necessaryā€¦ 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. Itā€™s going pretty well I have to say, but since a few days I sometimes think when will it go wrong again? Itā€™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 donā€™t see where it goes wrong. Okay, Iā€™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. Itā€™s not that I donā€™t enjoy my sobriety or something, I do, so I only have these thoughts for a few days. It keeps me busy but itā€™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 menā€™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 didnā€™t know yet, my son and I live in the Netherlands. We just donā€™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 useā€¦it made me very happy to be sober now. Its been a real struggle with staying sober, especially with the nice weather here. Itā€™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?

Iā€™m slipping into a depression state of mind. Iā€™m so anxious and worried about the future. I drank yesterday and feel very guilty. I just donā€™t knowā€¦Iā€™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 havenā€™t accepted Step One yet. So Step One will be my priority this week.

Iā€™m so sad and anxiousā€¦just pretty tough. I canā€™t stand this depressionā€¦it is killing me and now Iā€™m crying as I am writing these words.

This community means the world to meā€¦I must continue the fight. Thank you all for accepting meā€¦Iā€™m in rough shape.
