You are not cursed. You are struggling and lost but you can find your way out, lots of people on here did. I say that not to diminish your suffering, but to try to give you hope. Do meetings as often as you need to, try different sponsors til you meet one who fits. You can do it.

Many of us have been where you are and have felt those feelings - you are not alone. But I can relate to those desperate and hopeless feelings after repeated relapses. Too often I ran away from here and hid rather than coming right back - you have that going for you to have come here and been honest. You have a plan for next steps to try and as long as you keep trying there is always hope for sobriety and recovery. Keep coming back! Sending hugs. :heartpulse:

Im so very sorry you are in such a state!
Congrats on breaking it off with you current sponsor and i do hope you get a new one on Thursday.
Is ot possible to move up your meeting with your psychiatrist? Hopefully the meetings wont be so far apart in the future.
The addict brain is intese and manipulative. When we are struggling with so much it really does find a way to take advantage. I applaud you for getting right backbon the horse and coming back here.
I do feel that once you get a routine (daily meetings in person and possibly an online meeting to jump on at home if you feel low or having urges, getting your psychiatrist on a regular schedule and possibly a great sponsor) you will find the strength to beat this addiction.

I wholeheartedly believe you will conquer this addiction. Dont get weary on what if you cant quit for good - take it as odaat!
As always we are here for you my friend :people_hugging: :heart:

Day 1030

Feeling tired today. I did lots of walking yesterday on top of a busy couple of days at work. Usually do housework today (my day off) but it will be the absolute minimum and then some relaxing. I am glad I can listen to my body now. When I was drinking I had to ‘push through’ hangovers because they were my own damn fault. But now, if I am tired, I know it is a message from my body, and I should listen.

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

Pic is of a text at the beginning of an exhibition I visited 4 years ago today, of the work of photographer Ed van der Elsken. Take care of yourselves and each other and never give up X

How do you find all these pictures? Do you have them sorted by years, vacations and then decide? Asking for a friend who is really bad at organising their pictures :see_no_evil::grimacing:

2365 days. Checking in. Ive got a lot on my plate but am feeling strong. Work is going well and the people there are great! The twins are doing well, even though grades just sorta are what they are this semester (sigh). I can’t believe their school is over for the year a week from tomorrow! Then things will be tricky with work and having my kids at home during the day while I’m gone. Ive been in denial a little bit about that coming. Fortunately I can work from home Thurs-Fri so that makes it a bit easier. But I am worried about the other 3 days during the weeks my son will be away and it’s just my daughter at home. Im just so new at my job that I’m uncomfortable asking for more telecommuting during those 3 weeks.

Day 249

I’m tired, what else :joy::+1:
Looking forward to my coffee at work and the crazy ladies I work with.
Trains are delayed again and there is a man screaming at the train driver to hurry. Yeah, that will help :smiling_face_with_tear:

Had a very intense chat with Nik, the man I met. He got bullied at work last year, got a burnout and has his first day at work today :crossed_fingers:
Why are grown up people like that? Oh yeah I forgot: money and power.

It’s raining here and temperature fell a little. For the weekend the forecast predicted 30°C :sob:
Not fun. Not here. Help :sob:

Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:
