No, just someone who I had made arrangements with decided to just not bother turning up and didn’t even contact me to say why not, now they are ignoring me.
Now I know why I am not a fan of people. So glad that having Asperger syndrome means I like solitude!

Hi 
The fact that you are here, that you keep coming back and are trying so hard means so much.
It will stick. Don’t feel like a fauilure for trying your best. Each time will get less and you will learn and take something from it and they will help you they next time.
What ever you do just keeping coming back 
that way you are giving yourself a fighting chance everytime.

Checking in day 235! Had therapy and now at work. Still been feeling overall a bit low lately-
I’m searching for new jobs with better hours but it’s hard to find anything near my current salary, but the hunt goes on. Also starting to regulate my diet better (I always feel better when I eat better) so that should help after a few days. No cravings or desire for alcohol but staying connected just in case, of course 
Hope everyone is having a great sober Thursday!

Today started out pretty good. I felt motivated and ready to take on the day. By 2:00 i felt defeated and fearing that even after going through the 12 steps that i still won’t be changed. I’m hurting for everyone I’ve hurt and i deserve it. My love, sex, and codependency issues are taking a toll on me. I can’t stop thinking about my ex. I have no desire to act out, but also have no desire to do anything. I keep trying to remind myself that everything is the way it is meant to be in this moment but knowing the pain I’ve caused others is tearing me apart. I’ve been keeping up on healthy eating and exercise and yard work. I’ve been talking to friends and attending and sharing in meetings daily, sometimes more than one. I have a sponsor, but i may have to find another. I am also in therapy. These are all top line behaviors for me… yet I feel completely lost and broken.

Some days staying sober is all that matters. Some days all we can do is stay afloat. You’re here. You’re sober. You’re not alone. Keep going. Hugs.

Recovery isn’t linear. It’s quite the opposite. What matters is that we keep going. The past is gone. What we can do is shape the future by our actions today. And some days all we can do is stay sober and clean and free from harm. That in itself shapes our futures. If that’s all we can do today, so be it. It’s enough. For today. We’ll work on more tomorrow.
And I know how it feels some days. Some days it feels like I’ve achieved nothing in nearly 4 years. My brain tries to fool me into believing it’s no use and there’s no way I can make something out of my life. It’s lies. If I don’t go under today I’ll live to fight another day tomorrow. Hang in there Crystal. I’m hanging there with you X.

Hey all checking in Thursday evening. Had a good day. Sun was out all day before rain the next few. Gonna sit down now eat pizza and watch the NFL Draft. Buddy of mine just text me and said, “Been drinking since 9am gotta lay down, guess I’ll find out what happened tomorrow”. I feel bad for him, it’s only 7pm where we’re at. I missed so much shit that I wanted to do because I was busy getting hammered. So not worth it. Have a great rest of the night guys

I can understand that. When I felt like I wanted a ‘release’ or to 'feel something else’s I would sniff a relaxing aromatherapy mix, or eat a strong mint, and really try to focus on the sensations. Of course, a much weaker sensation than booze, but it took the edge off a little for me.
