Good morning beautiful Julia
You are so right…all we can do is focus on the next 24!
Hope you did make it to a meeting today. Grateful when we realize which tools are a must for us. Meetings and staying connected here are so helpful indeed I do hope you keep up with both.
I have not read that book yet- glad you are enjoying it. I am working through Quit Like a Woman right now…I do love this book. Really drives home why I want to live a sober life.
I had an awful day. Don’t want to talk about it just that I did not make it to my online meeting. So I did drink again tonight. I told my husband tonight that he needs to watch the kids tomorrow night because I’m going to an in person meeting tomorrow. I am desperately looking for a sponsor and I need to find one in Person. God I feel so sorry for always writing bad things here
I hate myself. I hate how my life is. I hate everything. What I really love and always will are my two kids. I love them so so so much and hate that I am a mother to them like this… please please please can I finally make this right
I’m so sorry love. Life does have some sucky days.
I do hope you get to the in person meeting tomorrow. Have you already checked your vitamin deficiencies?
Also - can you talk to your doctor about possible meds / shots that may help you with sobriety?
Would you be able to look into rehab?
I know this cycle is frustrating - do not give up on yourself! You do deserve to have a wonderful addiction free life. We can’t find any answers in a bottle yet the alcohol has a large draw for us and keeps us bound. We are capable of cutting these ties.
Meetings are great and I am grateful that you are looking into a sponsor. Having a person in real life to be accountable to.
The alcohol makes you feel like shit - it is what is causing you to feel guilt and shame. Keep faith my friend! Do not get swept up in this - these feelings keep you seeking the comfort of the poison.
We are here for you love – each one of us is or has been in the same exact spot. The urges can be intense and the lying voices can be so convincing.
After 2! Years I went back to the face to face meeting. I even saw some familiar faces. Going home now with my heart so warm inside. For the first time in long long time I don’t feel like drinking. Honestly this really helps. I just didn’t believe in it anymore. Doing zoom meetings is great but nothing beats a face to face meeting!!!
Thank you all for your patience especially you @JazzyS love you my friend
Sounds great, Julia.
I am going to my home women’s meeting after 7 months or so. Couldn’t go for the last months. Although it’s only monthly, I appreciate it so much and I always take so much with me afterwards.
This meeting was just so nice yesterday. I will repeat it every week now! That’s a solid plan. And in between during the week zoom meetings. Absolutely no cravings today! Going to bed sober. Good night wonderful people
glad you are doing well love and hanging in there… yeah, i think those in person meetings will be helpful for you to stay on track.
I am hanging on too – passed my 9 month mark for sobriety last week and i am feeling many more good days with the urges. I do hope you start feeling the benefits soon too
What are your plans for the weekend. I honestly don’t have much going on. Been super tired so catching up on sleep. Possibly a very busy week next week for me so trying to regain energy now (LOL)
@JazzyS just coming home from a f2f meeting. I think I found a sponsor… but I haven’t asked her yet. She takes me to the meetings and is so sweet. Laying my head on my pillow sober. Ending day 2
I hope you are fine and are feeling wonderful my dear friend.
