29 days AF. Staying sober today means tomorrow I will receive my 30 day chip and I will work to make sure it’s the last one I ever get (this will be my third). I’ve been pushing myself to go to evening meetings and what a gift it’s been! A great chance to meet new people and spread my sobriety wings. I tend to want to isolate in the evening (and I also get really tired) but if I just push myself to go then I’m always glad I did. I am however very tired today so I will rest this evening. Rest is important, can’t always go go go.
Yesterday morning my brain started thinking “hey I’ve got the whole day off, I could go get alcohol now and drink for the next 8 hours.” As soon as I had that thought I called my sponsor and went to a meeting. I went to another meeting in the evening too. I can’t control the thought but I CAN control my action. Help is there if I need or want it.
Grateful for sobriety and for fellow folks in recovery like you!
