I am so glad ur on the path of recovery. Being around someone who uses can be difficult for many reasons (as u know) but I am glad that u donā€™t have that desire to use as of right now. I do know (and it may have been mentioned), but that u can test posotve for meth if ur around others doing it. So being around ur bf while he uses may end up being an issue for ur drug tests and ultimately for u getting ur kiddo back. Hope that everything works out for everyoneā€™s health and safety (u and ur child :slight_smile: )

Good morning everyone, day 16. Itā€™s been a rough couple of weeks both medically and professionally with work. Iā€™m staying strong with not drinking but my confidence is wavering. I realize the stress (and various health issues!) do not get better with alcohol. Anyway, taking it a day at a time.

Thank you for the welcome. I am managing. It is hard but 1 day at a time.

Itā€™s really hard this time cause my drinking has finally caused my marriage to end. Fighting hard to make this time different.

Thank you Dana. Iā€™m doing ok today is day 1. And down at meeting for Intake. I canā€™t lie today now Iā€™m not wanting to go, Iā€™m still going to. But Iā€™m so scared, Iā€™m mad why I canā€™t do this on my own Iā€™ve done it before. And the fact can go lengths when I really want it makes me feel I donā€™t need rehab. Iā€™m terrified to leave my girls, they need me, and honestly I need them I donā€™t want to be away from them. Idk

Hey Everyone. Been awhile since Iā€™ve posted. Been doing good lately, but last night I let myself relapse. A bad one, I donā€™t remember going to bed last night. I tried some tools in my box, but just couldnā€™t quiet the voice. Looking back on it, I know what triggered me and I can see why I wasnā€™t able to control it. This has been a long journey and at first I didnā€™t really know what to look for in a relapse, but I am getting better at it and building my toolbox to help cope with that addictive voice. Iā€™ll add something new so the next time I can work through it and stay sober.

Itā€™s been a tough year with everything going on in my life, but I know that this is the one step I need to take to better my life. Taking a lighter day today to rest up and go easy on myself. I will get back at it in full force tomorrow.
