He's been trying to make contact with me lately. Whenever he does he tries to lay a guilt trip on me and, make me out to be the bad person. That's it in a nutshell. Like I said I need to let it go but, it's really hard.

I hope all of you have a good sober day. Heartfelt congrats to the celebrants! As for me, I'm in for another day of sobriety.

I agree PJ. I need to get back into today. Otherwise alcohol, bitterness and, worry win. That wouldn't be much of a life.

But I am here to request 24 hours of sanity and sobriety please. And thank you all for your help and understanding.

Congratulations to Jo and all of our milestoners! How wonderful that we left that life behind forever, one day at a time!

It's a rainy Wednesday.. My thoughts are negative this morning--waking up worrying about possible outcomes of things. It's at least, or more likely that things will turn out very well. What is it about that? It's a big part of alcoholism--worst-case, negative thinking that we feel the need to escape from with a drink. I am so sick of worrying! I don't care if x, y actually happen anymore. It's never as bad as I think. I feel very positive some mornings but sometimes I have to work at it.

What if: all will be well? That is so much easier.

I never want to drink again. But the next 24 will be enough for now! I plan on checking in a lot today.--love the positive vibe here. Thank you for helping me and all of us through these early days.

Have a great day or night,

Love

Red

Hugs all around this morning. Like many of us here, I cannot think of anything but what is happening right now. Nothing too far in advance or I will end up having a major anxiety/panic attack and be right back at failure. Nothing but today. My head is still in a fog, but I know this will pass soon.

Congrats to everyone reaching a milestone today. May we all have a safe and sober day. Much love to all. ❤
