I have not been doing well enough to look at myself in the mirror with my head held high, for a long time. And I’m ashamed and angry at myself for that.
Thank you for remembering me.
A book that has had a serious effect on me recently is Escape by Tim Kaufman. I hope this effect continues.
Sending love and thank you’s.

I’m alright, still sober. Dealing with my teenage son and trying to navigate all of the hard feelings completely sober is tough, but we’re getting through it.
I’m having trouble posting, not just on here but on all socials. I just feel really lame and disconnected and don’t see the point. Like shouting into the void 
sounds weird when I say it out aloud haha. Thanks for thinking of me. You have a big heart

Oh wow. I have thought about you and messaging you because much has happened. And then I went for more days pushing away anything to do with recovery. I have been on almost a week binge. I was doing so well, got a sponsor and started step one. Well she was for 3 days before I just jumped off the ledge. I had to go on a work retreat and be social which was hard and when I came home, I smoked instead of going to a meeting. Then over the weekend my friend came from Queensland for me to through her a babyshower I was so so drained from being social and my anxiety had been so bad. Then I’ve had a hard week of work and my worst day ever at my new job. I made excuses that it was too far. I had been listening to a whole bunch of NA speaker tapes that made me feel so proud of myself and I was beginning to look inwards. To be honest, it hurt and I make the excuse to myself that I don’t have enough time to go through the emotions of getting sober. How dumb? Tomorrow night is my next meeting. I have blown off my sponsor too scared to admit my pain and stupidity. I’ve done so much reflection and understand what to work through the first step but it is painful to search inwards and be so vulnerable. It seems so hard

Great to hear from you and I can imagine that dealing with a teenage son is very hard work.
When I get overwhelmed or in a rut of same routine different day I have a hard time posting. I totally understand how that can cause a disconnection.
Go ahead and shout into the void. Do what helps.
Share as little or as much as you want when you want - always great to hear from you. Know you are not alone and that we have your back !
sending you strength and hugs
