Iā€™m hoping this isnā€™t too harsh, but whether or not you felt anything isnā€™t the point. You craved alcohol and then acted on that craving. Sure itā€™s your sobriety and you can do with it as you please. But by not resetting your time youā€™ve already given yourself permission to do it again. The ā€œpromiseā€ to reset if it happens again is pretty standard alcoholic justification

Hey Kat here checking in at day 55 free of alcohol and benadryl and Day 360 off meth pills.

Day 3 of a 5-day stretch at work. It is funny at work how the rumors go round I get asked almost every day if it is true I used to be an RN (I work now as a PSW or nurseā€™s aide). Of course I donā€™t say anything about addiction but I do fess up to having had a ā€˜breakdown.ā€™ā€¦well true it was a fucking spectacular breakdown involving IV narcotics and PTSD and compassion fatigue lol.
People are just curious why I want to work at a job that pays about half what I used to make. I say itā€™s less stress (which it is). Lol.

Other than that I am starting to remember to surrender every day and to work my program every day or the disease will come back and destroy me. Loving meetings every day, I feel safe at meetings even on Zoom.

Much love to you all

Kat

Day 209 nearly done. Can anyone advise me if the battle in my mind between wanting a drink, because I feel like Iā€™m missing out, ever goes? Iā€™m having to constantly remind myself that I have a new better life now, but itā€™s just hard having that voice talking to me at times. I hope I make sense

Day 165
Today has been decent. 4th covid shot went well. Spent time playing Minecraft with my boy and did some cleaning. Just listened to an Aboriginal Elder (who I know from back home) speak on troubling events and how he handles them. And it was amazing to hear a different approach on how to handle such things. He basically said when he is approached with a troubling event, a conflict, or something traumatic, instead of reacting to the situation with emotionā€¦ he sometimes doesnā€™t comment on it in the moment. He doesnā€™t really say much until he has prayed to Creator about it and asked for guidance. Then he can approach the situation with a clear and connected (to Creator) mind. He also said that healing is often not planned. Things happen unexpectedly and healing can come in many forms. It was interesting to listen how others handle situations. Something Iā€™d like to strive for personally. Day has been better since I have slowed down. I really focused on doing things with purpose :pray:
