I’ve made it to day 91 by grace of God but I’m struggling more and more everyday. I haven’t been to a meeting in weeks nor have I spoken with my sponsor. I can feel myself slipping and it’s scary. Does anyone have any tips to help me get through this tough time?

It sounds like you’ve gone away from things that helped you get to 90 plus days. Why haven’t you been going to meetings or called your sponsor lately?

90 days is amazing good on you that should want to get you through you should feel so proud of yourself and strong like you can do anything
Dont have a drink its not worth it you will feel guilty and angry at yourself its not worth the pain.
I’m just 2 days ahead of you.(93days in) I found the meetings are a big help. Went to one last night & walked away with some different thoughts I didn’t have going in. The one I go to ages range from 18-70. I have to find something to do to keep myself busy. Whether its typing to everyone on here,knowing I’m not the only one who could have to hit the reset button!! We’re all in the same boat & one day might not walk away from it. Stay strong think how good its felt starting the next day knowing u made it another one.!!!.. One day at a time is my favorite saying…helps, call your sponsor that’s one thing I don’t have yet. Your ahead of me!

If you can do it, it sounds like meetings and your sponsor are the things you need.
Yep, you answered your own question…go back to meetings and call your sponsor. Have you done your steps?

Thankfully I don’t have the urge to drunk but I cannot find the motivation to do the things I know I need to remain sober. I’ve worked through step 7 and stalled out. Before these few weeks I was on fire for aa on my way to 90 in 90 going to retreats doing fellowship etc. But I was also off work I work nights and it seems when I went back it seems the rest stopped. I appreciate all of you. I know what I need to do I just don’t know why I won’t do it

Keep yourself busy. There’s a saying, “The best cure for depression? Make some marmalade”. Distract yourself with positive tasks. I’m about to sort my wardrobe out and throw away some old clothes.
Best of luck

You are living the dream…
90 plus days clean is amazing…yes right now it is tough…and things feel shaky…you feel vulnerable…reaching out as you have done here is the key…reach to your sponsor and get to a meeting…after 90 days you can sometimes forget the pain of acting on your addiction…it is always worse the pain of sobriety which pops up from time to time…
Remember you are not alone…read through some of the stories of people struggling right now…offer them your support…you are in a place right now I can only dream about…I am at day 27…and so many of those days have been hard…I want to be where you are 90 plus and struggling looks good to me from where I am…
This is an uncomfortable and you know it will pass…you can do this…look back on you time sober what has worked in the past…Istanbul believe in you…this too shall pass…
