I fell off my unicorn

Thank you guys for all of your words of encouragement! They mean the WORLD to me and PLEASE, keep them coming! I try my best to represent myself accurately on here, but I’ve left out a major detail- the thing that keeps me relapsing. Nothing can unite or divide others quicker than the truth and I’m torn apart by it. When I get sober, the opposition around me quadruples. It takes a lot of energy to diffuse it so my two young girls don’t absorb it. I honestly can’t wrap my brain around the fact that you all like what I have to say, but some despise every word I speak.
I am a deeply feeling person- like deep hehe. You guys are my strength! I’m going to somehow recover from this trip and make something good sprout from it… I of all people know that strength sprouted from weakness harnesses the most power.

Thank you everyone for believing in me!!! It’s helped me to begin to believe in myself.

I’m just seeing this now… :cry:. I’m sorry you’ve had a rough couple of days friend. I also received my milestone stone in the mail. Thank you so much my sister from across the ocean! It means a lot and brightened my day which was really nice since I’ve been struggling with some things lately.

Sorry to hear of the fall!! I as well fell and am back to day 4 tomorrow. I beat myself up about it but after reading on here and talking to some people I have a new fight to kick this addictions ass. I see you and your unicorn have this fight in you too and I know you will use this negative stumble as a positive stepping stone to for future success!

I’m probably totally wrong (I’m good at that!) but it sounds like someone doesn’t like or resents your strength, wants you to be or act or conform to something you’re not. Hopefully, my remote viewing and staring at goats will be as inaccurate as usual! and you’ll be back on form, troll fighting and lighting up the chatroom and generally helping to get us all back on track in the forum asap!

If that’s true, that’s some bs. @Naturehippy ,don’t make us all jump on a plane and confront those a-holes :wink:

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m at a loss for words, I feel like I’ve lost a lot the past couple of days, but today I really need to ‘reset’ my perspective and keep fighting this internal battle. Thank you for your words and the memes- they were like hug to my soul… seriously

hahaha, that means a lot coming from you! You’ve been such an anchor on this forum and a reliable and consistent support. Today I plan to dust off the dirt from my fall, collect as much lost sparkle as I can and keep riding… THANK YOU for that! Hug

No, you’re not wrong, your pretty on point… “conform to something I’m not”. You are painfully accurate. The inner conflict of that struggle gets far too much for me to handle at times because I feel I’m locked in an emotional prison. As long as I drink the prison is comfortable but as soon as sobriety takes root and progress is made, I realize that I’m doing someone else’s time. Its not okay. I gotta figure this one out or Im going to go insane.

Lol, I’ll pay for half your ticket.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m sorry that yo can relate to my struggle, but you know what they say… ‘sobriety loves company’. JK, they don’t really say that, but they should.

I have no sober friends here and thats proving to be a difficult obstacle. As much as I try to keep to myself, people lure me out and it really affects me. I need to have a serious conversation with myself and get a better game plan.

hahaha! THANK YOU! That means a lot! I’m not even as half as honest as I would like to be on here and I think thats got to change… starting with being honest with myself. I really DONT want to drink but the people around me affect me WAY to much with their perception of me. Believe it or not, not everyone believes in unicorns :wink:

THANK YOU FRIEND! I hope to learn something from this so I can keep contributing to this forum in a positive way. You all are my biggest inspiration and to be accountable to such amazing people is an honor and privilege.
