Been there before too Odelle!

Day 4 nearing an end here. Sorry to moan but today I'm irritable, anxious and sleepless but thankfully sober ☺

I'm feeling sorry for myself but probably just being ultra sensitive. I just feel like crawling into a hole and being alone, even I can see that's not healthy! I'm trying to allow myself to feel my emotions because I've just been pushing them down through drinking but I think there is a fine line between feeling and self pity. I read a quote once "poor me, poor me, pour me another drink" and I think that's really true for me so I need to be careful.

I framed a print today that I found online which is representative of the life I want. I have it by my bedside so it's the last thing I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning.

JL I'm so sorry for your loss, you are doing great and being so strong.

Hope everyone is having a safe and sober day
