Good morning all! So much activity in the last 24 hours that it's hard to keep up. It's so good to see that those of you that broke down over the weekend are not giving up and want to keep at it. We all have weak moments, and stress can certainly give our AV momentum to override our best judgement. BUT, that doesn't mean we can't learn from it and keep moving forward. We can do this as long as we keep trying.
Welcome newcomers to the first few days of sobriety! SR is great to gain strength and perspective, support and encouragement. Stick it out and every day gets better. I'm at two weeks (after a 2 year bender...), and everything in my life is improving. I'm remembering that alcohol stole everything from me - my self-respect, my memory, my closeness with my DH, the respect of my children, my social activities, my job performance, the list is endless. Keeping that in perspective shuts my AV up in a hurry.
Wishing everyone a sober and stress-free day!
