YOU’RE BACK!! It is so good to see you man, we were all so worried. Im sorry things have been rough but so glad you are still around. I’ll be thinking of you today
I’m also checking in on day 988. I hope everybody has a good one!
I cannot imagine that kind of pain Robbie.
I’m so glad you checked in.
Missed you man.
20 days today sober. I had a dream last night that I was with a group of friends and they ordered me a beer and I started drinking it and then remembered that I am not supposed to be drinking and freaked out in my dream because I ruined my sobriety streak. Woke up mad and couldn’t go back to sleep for a while….
Is this normal?
Very normal! These are drinking dreams. You can find lots of topic by using the magnifying glass at the top.
Greatful you didnt break your streak
Bloody hell mate, I am glad to see you. But looking at the date, makes sense why you needed some space. I want to say sending strength, or sending hugs, or something, but in this situation, not sure if that is what you need. I hope that we can be the tiniest bit of support to you.
Welcome back Rob!
I’m sorry to hear from your pain and suffering.
Almost at 14months AF. Its so unbelievable, I could never see myself where I am today not drinking. Im trying to change some stuff in my life. I said yes to have the doctor refer me to a clinic for adults children of alcholics, so we will see. Lately I been thinking alot about my father, missing him, feeling guilty, upset, sad, full of questions and everything, I dont know why, whats going on inside of me. But, Im not drinking!
Ohh, was I glad to see you! I have tougth about you so much everyday.
Day 100!! Soooo happy I am still alcohol free. Life has been miserable lately and I think drinking would have turned me into a train wreck.
Congratulations!!! Is the clinic you are talking about ALANON?
Congratulations to your triple digits!
One day at a time!
Day 149
Day 1 of 5 done It’s a lot of work but we’re all in a relatively good mood so that’s a win.
The story with my tooth isn’t over yet, it feels funny. But there is no chance for me to go see a Dentist this week. Hopefully next week if it gets worse. I have no pain, only a funny feeling when I chew something hard.
Public transportation here is on Strike, it was a challenge this morning, I had to mostly run to catch the one train that brings me to work in time. Now back home but without stress.
After that shower, some good food and maybe some reading.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong
Checking in on one day
18 hours clean
Being ashamed of a relaps circle.
Being conscious about all the negative physical and mental damages, that alcohol causes…
But i can’t rely on myself.
I hate this shitty circle.
I want to end any kind of relationship with alcohol… As there is no relationship possible.
I want to quit forever and be free,
although I know everything that is possible is staying clean now, staying away from the first drink.
I am so conscious…
But I am very disconnected.
My thoughts until here.
Love
Hey love, what causes the relapses? Can you do anything to not let that happen? And if it happens and it makes you want to drink, maybe have a list or something with you with all the negative feelings written on it how alcohol makes you feel?
One of the reasons I went to meetings (smart meetings first and then AA) was so that I could put a face to this beast called alcoholism. I got so much from looking at the faces of the others at the meeting and seeing that they looked perfectly normal, just like me. It’s just that we all have this troubled relationship with alcohol, whether it was a rapid descent or more leisurely pace we had all got to the same realisation. It was something we couldn’t manage anymore. But it’s really nothing to be ashamed of and we’re not monsters or bad people .
Get back up on the horse @Juli1 and don’t be ashamed.
Wow, I am so relieved to see you check in . It might not help much now, but we are always here for you when you think a virtual ear to talk to or a hug might make things a little lighter for you.
I’m so glad you are back. We were so worried.
