How? What is your plan to get more self control?
Or are you going to accomplish that you don’t have self control? None of us do, that’s the disease. So rather than continue with a fight you’ll never win would you be willing to surrender? Accept the fact that unless you learn how to live without drugs and alcohol that you will continue to relapse?

Day 2 still sober.
It was a hard day today. Got up ready for work and was working for 30 minutes before there was system issues. Once fixed I didn’t want to go back to work and didn’t. This kitten I have is always messing with my older cat and very destructive. He gets in the cabinets and chewed up boxes, bags of mashed potatoes… he’s working my last nerve, but I took him in for better or worse. My daughter doesn’t want to be responsible and blames anyone around her for it. Still, I didn’t use. Stayed clean. Got out the house and went to my husband’s house and took one of the dogs for a walk. Being since there’s no meetings anywhere in my county, I learned it only takes 2 to start a meeting and got with another recovering addict, read group literature and shared. We closed with a moment of silence for the still suffering addict and the serenity prayer. That’s how I spent my day today.

Checking in on day 28. Went to an online TLC meeting this morning, and got myself a sober coach who is also a TLC moderator, so I know I resonate with her. We start this Thursday. I want to get a structure in place to stay sober on my road trip to New Mexico in a couple of weeks, I’ve made it through day 1 of the drive, but not day 2, I end up drinking in the hotel room, and then it’s the usual decline after that. I’m saying no to that scenario.
Finished Push Off from Here, Laura McKowen’s book. Figured out how to reinstate my FB poetry page and posted a poem to get the energy happening again. Started writing a three month course for my horse training work (I work for an Australian woman as an online coach).
Good, productive day. Wishing you all well

incredibly proud of you for getting rid of all the alcohol. you are absolutely right about having learned from the past two times. relapse is a set back, but it is not a reset of progress you have everything you have learned along the way to help you. and of course we are all here as well

Personally I fight depression, even on medication I can spend days in bed. You have all the empathy and sympathy I can send your way. I am in a couple different group programs and constantly ask how to fight it…I am told must learn skills to combat bad old depression. Fighting depression is harder for me than sobriety.
Day 64 for me. I will leave you with this “Get up”
