We cant always succeed the first, 2nd or 3rd time. Sometimes itās many relapses before we get it. And itās ok, you came back here and youāre ready to start again. Iām no pro, Iām still in early sobriety myself, but I like being able to encourage ppl, pick yourself up dust yourself off and try again. Itās better then giving in and not trying at all:). You will get it

your not alone mate, went to a meeting tonight full of shame but came out with some hope. We carry on no matter what, its not over til itās over. Iām going to be an addict until the day I die but what kind of addict is the choice we have to make.

173 days. Court got adjourned until next Tuesday. Now I have to deal with this anxiety another week. I really wanna face the consequences and move on. Itās all because my attorney had other stuff going on. I wish he told me this upfront and I would have just went on my own but no he has me wire money and then tells me. What a scam artist.
My daughter is really giving me a hard time lately. She starts shit at dinner time every night. Iām losing my patience with her. I ended up putting her in her room (kicking and screaming) just so my husband and I could eat dinner in peace. I usually baby her until she calms down but itās getting old.

Apparently my cravings for nicotine are slowly dying. Hopefully I will be able to beat my personal record (bout 6 months) with cigarettes.
Stay strong guys and congratz on adding day by day!

Oh girlā¦ sorry about all of it. The waiting with court is just torture and Iām sure itās creating massive anxiety. Iāve been there and I feel deeply for you.
Good on you fir handling your daughter. The consequence of no attention when she gets that way will teach her. Not sure if her age, but shoot, Iām doing this with my 23 year old, and itās working lol
Hang in there

Checking in at the end of a rough day 6, well sort of rough but got better. Horrible cravings all day and I almost slipped up, but with the help of some great TS people I made it through and stayed sober. First time Iāve ever done this and feels great. Good night everyone

Thanks Beth. Sheās 27 with disabilities so more on a 12 year old level. The tantrums are like a 2 year old though and totally out of control. But sheās not small either so when she gets in a rage, she comes after me. It kills me that Iām the one that gives her all the love yet Iām the one she attacks. I seriously got to get her back into therapy and on medication again. I took her off a few years back thinking she was cured but I have to face the facts, thereās no cure.
