Feeling tired this morning. Had meeting with work yesterday waiting on them to make a descsion about my employment. Was told in about a weeks.time.
Felt like drinking after the meeting but instead went and got a manicure and spoke to my sponsor.
Have to face life head on. Although I feel fear I’m turning into the positive Face Everything And Recover. Trusting all will be well ifI continue to do the next right thing.
I got a few hours of sleep after posting. Could it be a sleep aid?
I’ve been in a rough patch the last couple of days. Still way better than a hangover! You can feel good and think you’re recovered…then it hits! I see why it’s so dangerous for relapse…because your addicted side/voice/whatever will start sowing doubts. Like, ‘you got sober for THIS?’, or ‘I was sleeping better before I got sober’, etc. Any way the doubts can creep in and some water starts destabilizing the foundation. In the face of addiction this is insignificant! It’s tough but so much easier than before. Whether I’m wide awake with heart pounding at 2 am, or on pink cloud days of rainbows I’m in and I’m going to stay in no matter what because even bad nights in sobriety are better than drinking.
I’ll sleep when I’m dead. It will sort itself out. Maybe today.
I am so glad to be coming up on 3 weeks! Maybe I’ll treat myself even though 3 weeks isn’t an officially-sanctioned milestone. Yeah? I do feel like getting out in the rain today. I’ll find something to buy.
Morning y’all. Today my grandsons go home. They have a small trip planned with their mom. It will be quiet here. I don’t really have much going on today. Just enjoy the boys until they have to leave.
Tomorrow I will go to meeting.
It’s Friday Eve!
Day 127. Good morning sober fam, had a good day off yesterday got some of my parts and put on what i could. Was going to put my new rotors on but they accidentally sent me two rear adapters so i had to order another front one. At work today and just chillen, work is good. Life is good, really looking forward to some nicer weather so i can get out, i wanna check out some evening meetings once its nice lol. Eh not much else to say, im glad you are here @Twizzlers you are a huge inspiration much love
Checking in early today, my anxiety is through the roof. Im in constant distress about the mess ive made of myself and my relationships. I’m working today so at least im busy and my mind is occupied with other things. My focus is off. I almost sent an apology text but i know it means nothing bc they have heard it before. I just want to fast forward to a better life and I know I can’t. All I can hope for is patience and forgiveness.
Checking in 25 days. With work being the way its been the past few weeks. I need to just reset a little bit. Step back and recalibrate. I know that that work is going to be a lot then next couple of weeks. It should slow down after the week of April 1st but it has just been sooo much. I have to keep going though. God gives me the strength to persevere. I surrender it all to him that He helps me through this and not falling to Porn or Masturbation throught the procsss.
23 days sober today. I told my husband sobriety looks well on me. He said “thank God”.
I said Yes AA believes GOD has everything to do with it. Ones belief in GOD is only way to succeed in all things. Little tough for me to surrender fully with that philosophy. Some say higher power. If it is the answer to stay alcohol free and be a better person then that is what I am striving for. It is hard work. Would be easy to give up.
I’m 32 days alcohol free
Unfortunately due to a mental health family emergency I missed a few days of meetings. But… I plugged into zoom as we speak and am feeling mentally drained but good. have a great Thursday fam
Good for you fighting that urge! What I have used to remind myself is that it takes action to relapse. If I can sit with whatever feeling and NOT take action on a desire to drink I’ve already won.

Day 10! First double digits day with many more to come I had an amazing journaling experience this morning. It opened up my eyes into how thankful I am for life. I’ve never said that before. As someone who has suffered, suicidal ideations, I was surprised that was even possible to feel. But I am thankful for life and to be alive. Can’t wait to be over this cold, put in the work of a long road of PT and hopefully be the fun, playful mom I used to be again.
