Day 1210
Addiction took the life of someone’s son the other day in my Al-Anon group. The reality is. This disease will kill us. Think about that if you want to pick up today. I have an Al-Anon friend that doesn’t have a son this morning.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.

It’s King’s Day, the biggest party day in the year here. The city is filling up with party goers. I’m working a late shift instead. I’m not a big fan of the monarchy but that didn’t withhold me from going out and drinking in town till plastered like everyone seems to do. Never again. Life’s much better sober, also on days like this.
Pic is my friend from Texas and me, when she came over here 4 years ago. My last drunk King’s Day. Happy for that. X
@onthewagon31 Huge congrats Nate!!!

That’s a great number Mno :slightly_smiling_face:

Your Kings day reminds me of St. Patrick’s day here, or any other holiday for that matter! It’s just an excuse for people to drink hard. Many of them are Christian based holidays here, but you’d be hard pressed to find a Christian among them :upside_down_face: It puts so much pressure on emergency services here during these times.

Really happy for you, you’re in a great place now. Have a great day friend :raised_hands:

Moral of the story… Check in next time. As soon as those tricky thoughts enter your head get in a meeting or reach out on here, you’ll never do this alone left only with your own experience and knowledge. Right now the only experience you have is how to relapse and not a clue of how to stop it.
You have so many people who want you to be sober, your not ugly your one of us, we are here and always will be as long as you want to stay sober.

Day 103.

Yesterday was tough. Had a shrink appointment and a therapy appointment on the same day. (No, I didn’t plan it like this, my shrink usually fits me in when she has on the day cancellations because her waiting list is 6 months or something daft like that).

And afterwards I just felt drained. Then had a huge panic attack while walking the dog in the evening. Luckily, my husband was with me and he was really supportive and got me home. Then I took a long hot shower to get help my head back on before bed.

But I’m ok now. Woke up in a better mood and I decided to completely avoid Twitter for a few days, that place is a cesspool of negativity and the worst humanity has to offer. But I do need it for work, so I’m working on healthy boundaries with it. Lol.

I’m pretty proud of myself and how I handled the panic attack. In the past, I would have gulped a bottle of wine to get rid of that horrible feeling. But this time, alcohol didn’t even cross my mind.

Don’t be sorry for us.

I think it’s somehow part of the cycle. Not coming here. Relapsing. Coming here and telling that we struggle. Not waiting for answers and support and relapse because the decision was already made. Door closed. Then hopefully coming here, saying that we struggle and being led through the craving with the support of the community and staying sober.
