I appreciate your prayers so much! I’m trying so hard not to be a “negative nancy” as they say, it’s been tough but I have some hope so I’m tryna hold onto that as much as I can. And yeah, the thoughts dont leave me alone…barely at all…but I’m trying to pray and I’ve begged God so much just to change me, fix me or something. But he is allowing me to journey this way so I have to trust that this is good for me and keep pushing forward. Thank you so much for your prayers.

You’re welcome. No problem. I’m here if you need someone to talk to. Yes, even for myself, I need to remember to be kind to myself. It’s definitely a work in progress. Just keep working at it. Things will get better.

Checking in officially on 6 days, 45minutes. I am in it to win it! I want my 3p day tag so bad. I keep relapsing at 7 or on day 8. I’m gna try not keel that at the front of my mind and just day by day work the sobriety program.
I showed this (photo) to another friend on this app, but my plan…when the cravings come I will grab one of these and read and focus and digest it slowly, paired with meditatiom and prayer and just getting through for today.
I know I’ve relapsed 100s of times and said I’m serious 100s of times… and I meant it. I promise I meant it. But I’m saying it again. And I’m meaning it again. And finally found, I think, a more suitable sponsor and we are meeting next saturday before the NA meeting. So I’ll keep everyone posted on how I’m working through the steps and how ita going. I appreciate all the support, and I know I’ve been rocky but I’m back again to try again. I hope it counts for something.

And that’s how we do it. We don’t give up.
We discover more and more about ourselves throughout this process. And we strive towards progress. One day at a time. That’s all we can do. Great share. Hope to hear from you soon, Stacey.

Yesssss. We are able to help others with the help we have received… Here’s the reference for that… 2nd Corinthians chapter 1
( 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Scott was hoping to reach a particular audience hun, that’s the only reason I advised him.
It did prompt me to read your thread though, you’re pushing through some tough battles there and I truly wish you well in your journey, I’ll be checking in on you, keep us updated on how you’re doing and keep reaching out. It took me a long time to find the quit that stuck but keep looking and you will find it

You keep getting back up and that’s all that matters. Your determination is admirable. I hope the sponsor works out. I go to meetings but haven’t gotten the courage to ask for a sponsor yet. You’re inspiring me and I’ll finally do it this week.
Keep up the hard work. We’ll never give up on you @Swam
