Julia's accountability thread

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.

Much love Julia :heart: have a fantastic day

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.

Keep active love - we are in this together :hugs: :heart:

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

Hey beautiful - how are you doing?

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.
