One of my biggest issues is thinking Im all good. I have to accept that I cant make excuses, believe all is well bc of a few good days, skip my exercise classes or meetings. This is it. I get better and heal by taking action and stripping away all the bs until its just me. I am powerless and I need a spiritual presence to help me. I have to put in the effort. Just reminding myself of how I can go backwards.

Way to go! What a great example of not letting your EGO tell you any different. I am also powerless over alcohol:)

Thanks. Its me and hopefully something bigger than me that will guide me into peace inside me. I am definitely at war w myself. Drinking removes that but it always comes back.
Thanks Gabe. I appreciate any encouragement. Very much.
I am powerless too when it comes to alcohol, it led me to things I would never consider sober and has led me to places I can’t even remember what happened.
Once it enters my system, I don’t know what it could lead to, maybe not straight away, but at some point down the line something bad is likely to happen. I am empowered with that knowledge now to build a better life.
Good work @Ready keep it up.

Thanks. I feel the same way. Class at 645 tnite and meeting tmorrow at 8am. I have to make the effort. Just show up. Ive already made 2 sober connections thru AA but its pointless and arrogant and fearful if I dont follow up or reach out to them. I appreciate reading your posts.
Stay strong

Just keep coming back, going back.
No matter what.
Fake it till you make it!!
It starts with only a willingness to be willing.
The promises are waiting for you.
Sometimes faster sometimes slower.

I know you are right. Gotta showup, build the foundation. Thank you very much.
I’m also working on stripping away the BS. I’ve spent so long pretending I didn’t have a problem and justifying my actions to myself, it’s really painful but I think it will be worth it in the end. But right now it’s excruciating.
