It’s been a tough day not had my antiabuse as chemist is currently out of stock only first day so no emergency but still not great feel safer taking it daily.
I chose to avoid my meeting as I’m in a bad mood and argued with family over money.
Need to stop other people influence my day and sobriety.
I have hidden away today and not sure how to snap out of this downer.
I will not drink don’t want to but feeling lonely as a result.
2.5 hours and it’s a new day.
Let’s hope for a better day tomorrow 1 month and 15 days sober very soon. First time in about 12 years been this sober so I have that to be grateful for
Avoiding meetings is a bad choice. You state that you miss connection and isolate. This are patterns that occur previous to relapsing. Stay connected. Especially when you deal with family issues it’s necessary to change the environment and talk about it. Addiction is the opposite of connection. Stick to your sober toolbox and get out of your head. Sending you hugs and compassion
Thanks very much I know it was the wrong choice but I felt so low I just didn’t want to walk anywhere. I have thought about drinking today only the second day I’ve felt like this since I became sober 45 days ago. Most days I’m good but I need to be honest with myself and I like this group here to vent and get support.
I’m going to an 11am meeting tomorrow and hopefully I will have a better day.
It’s nearly the end of a bad day but the good news is no relapsed and I don’t want to now.
We all have to take the bad days with the good forget about today and start fresh tomorrow…if you feel you are doing your very best to try and turn your life around well then forgot about any arguements especially about money…your more important than any amount of money keep going my friend you are all over this
Put your sober head on the pillow. I pray for and wish you a restful sleep. We start our life every day anew again when we wake up. Tomorrow is a new ODAAT
A pro tip: Not thinking, just doing. Gets me a through a lot of my days.
Been to a meeting this morning within 2 minutes I felt better now it’s finished I feel fantastic I was sitting at home last couple of weeks thinking didn’t need to go putting them off.
I am so glad for everyone to comment and support.
I’m happy to hear you went to the meeting and feel connected. This is so important to stay stable in life. What are you planning for the rest of the week to support your sobriety? More meetings available or online?
