I’m recently in recovery. I had a slip up a couple days ago, but was able to stop, and go back to trying to stay sober. Today I haven’t thought about drinking at all. I’m trying to keep myself busy with cleaning and going on this app. I read my Bible and take a bunch of notes about any and everything. I paint my nails, do my hair and makeup. I’m starting to come alive again. I’m feeling good and hopeful this time.

Amazing to hear that you fell down but got back up!! Don’t be hard on yourself for the slip up, be proud that you were able to recognize that sobriety is the right fit for you and get back on that path. I can definitely relate and distraction and keeping busy really does help. I have a few appointments tomorrow that I’m nervous for and going to get my bloodwork done for HIV. Good chance I have it with how reckless I’ve been. But I’m chosing to stay sober and face the shitstorm I have created head on this time. Goodluck with your journey!! May today be kind to you @Lexx

Thank you so much for your kind words. Don’t worry so much today about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about it’s self. If you do have it, there are a lot of new medicines out now to help. It will be alright 
All you can control is the way you’re feeling right here right now. When the results come that is a moment in the future that will eventually become a time in your present to work through, good or bad, but not now. Right here right now you’re choosing you and moving forward.
You’re doing great things.
