Hello everyone, it’s day 20 for me.
I had a really bad day filled with anxiety yesterday yet didn’t seek for help here, still need to learn to open up and stop thinking I can get sober on my own.
Today again feeling a bit sad and down, yet here to say so.

Hey @Teresa.13 glad you are here! I am feeling worried and depressed too today and am trying to keep it from becoming all consuming. I wish certain problems in my family would just go away. But they’re not… sigh. At least we are sober! Congrats on 20 days!

Well done for resisting the temptation, it’s so easy to go with the flow of what everyone else is doing so good job on sticking to your plan.

Glad you shared. Anxiety is so uncomfortable and difficult. Do you ever try guided meditations? I sometimes feel like I’m having an actual panic attack, (although I have had less anxiety since quitting drinking) Anyway, the guided meditations for anxiety really help me. I just search them on you tube. Some are better than others. I like this one

Wow, your trip sounds amazing, I’d love to do something like that. Hope you see some ghosts before you leave. I’d be scared stiff if I ever saw anything.
Well done on hitting your 2 weeks, that can often be the hardest time so full respect to you. And also for ignoring the voice telling you that you could have that one shot.
Have a great ghost hunting time :sparkling_heart:

Thank you for replying, even if you are also feeling down, I definitely agree on the sober side of it all.
We will make it through today I’m sure

Hi Brian,
Congrats on a week, that’s fantastic.
For me too a BH was always an excuse to drink, either in the pub or at home.
You’re right, this place is amazing, it really helps knowing everyone is behind you cheering you on.
Where do you work? Sounds like a nice job. I love looking round old places, I could spend all day just walking round and round.
Have a great day :sparkling_heart:

Congratulations on a week Brian, well done :clap:

Great attitude going into the BH too. Hope today is a good one (sounds like it will be busy for you).

Day 222 checking in we keep it moving :pray:t2:

You can do this, we always think “I deserve it”, or in case of difficulties “I need it”, but in any case the first thought should be “I can’t take it”, then “I must not have it”, and finally, and here is the excellence “I do not want it”.

Congrats for your seven days!
