That fact that you came back shows that you give a shit enough about yourself to stop. Youāre just stuck in a tailspin right now. I was in them for years and they fucking suck. Now you just gotta figure out how to break this cycle.

Day 822 clean and sober. Day off today but have an all staff meeting at noon. Kinda sucks that itās in the middle of my day but I will make plans around it. Super grateful for my job right now itās allowed me stability and peace of mind. Had band practice last night for the first time since I can remember and I woke up sorer then when I go hiking lol WTF

Youāre here Mel. You give a shit. We do too. Harsh self criticism has to do with it I am sure. As does your tiredness. Thereās stuff to work with and on.

Welcome to Talking Sober Carrie. 72 Days sober is a huge achievement! Congrats on that. I hope you may find this place just as helpful as it has been for me in remaining sober and in staying on my road of recovery. One day at a time and all that. Welcome again and all success in your sober journey!

Im sorry to hear about ur reset Brian 
Sometimes resets are signs showing us what we need to work on for our sobriety. Stress and feelings of being overwhelmed used to be a HUGE trigger for me and caused me to relapse often. Finally realized that I need to have a more balanced life and learn healthy coping skills to manage my stress. Take ur slip as a learning experience. See what u can adjust to ur daily routine to make things less stressful. U have it in u to live a sober life! I believe in u

Day 32
Hope everyone is having a blessed day so far. I had another dream about alcohol but this time I took 2 sips and stoppedā¦ I automatically started feeling sorry for myself like I let myself down. Not sure what these dreams mean but I know I wonāt be taking no sips cause I donāt want experience the feelings of guilt in real life.
I wonder when Iām going to start being sociable again cause I donāt be wanting to go no where cause most places I get invited people are going to be drinking. I feel like I need to find me a group of sober friends lol. But majority of the people who invite me are family and I canāt get rid of them!
A lot of people donāt know this new journey Iām on. I hope they not taking it personal since Iām not attending events that I would usually always attend.
If so oh well. Iām doing for me and I like the new me. Even though Iām boring now. I need a new scenery and sober interactions. I donāt want to be around alcohol.
I donāt drink no more!

I think those dreams mean weāre pissing off the part of our brain thatās trying to trick us into thinking we need it or miss it once we quit. Glad youāre doing it for yourself and not worrying about what other people think. Iāve heard people on here say that they stayed away from certain events for a good while in early sobriety.
