@RosaCanDo @DryIn785 How interesting for me to see this written in a way that makes so much sense.
When i am having bad mental health spouts or my sleeping is off for a few days in a row I get that guilt shame feeling and only recently this week realised it made me feel like I was back there in all the problems shame and guilt it felt exactly the same and I was thinking about this and you have written it and it just made so much sense to me. Hope your doing okay
@Alicat22 congratulations on your 2 weeks. Dreams /nightmares I have them sometimes and they can be relly unnerving. Depends situation its been about for me but the feelings can stay with me for a while after.
Hope you feel better after waking up properly and knowing your sober and safe
@SadMemeQueen Hey I hope your feeling a bit better your doing so well 137 days I’m so proud to see the effort you put in.
@Lovelyoutlook Its nice for you to be able to still have fun and stay sober, it’s a great feeling when you realise life is still really fun without needing a drink. Good on you
@GOKU2019 Big congratulations on your 9 months
@runner 2 days is amazing , you can do this and maybe try a meeting online to help through those tough moments, and reach out here where there is tons of support, you can get through this.
@maxwell congratulations on your day 36 ?
You always cheer me up and make me smile, thank you for being so lovely and thoughtfull. I often think of you and I’m so glad to be here with you
@Sunny11 Huge congratulations on your 700 days
@Staringupfromthewell We learn something when we relapse, for each of us it’s something that helps us stronger for the next time to stay sober for the better. I know you probably feel rubbish right now but you have to push those feelings aside, remember why you want to stay sober and not let the low feelings and emotions keep you in that dark place. I’m glad you came straight here after, unfortunately some never make it back, this addiction/disease kills. We have to pick ourselves up, and restart and there is no point making yourself feel worse than you do now. Lean on us and get to a meeting either online or face to face, it really is so powerful to listen to others experience. I know you have the strength to do this I’m here for you, so are we all.
You have a fresh start, and you learnt alot being sober before this, so use those tools that helped you and add in something new, something that can help you pass the time if you get feeling like you did before you used. Now you know that these feelings may come back that your felt before your relapse, so this time be prepared with how to cope with it, I believe in you.
Hi everyone I am reading all your posts, I always reply to the first 10 I come across reading up then the rest I am congratulating you for having the strength to get through today
