Im feeling lonely and tired today and I want to take a drink but not going to do so. Just thoughts of drinking no cravings. I played the tape to the end and thought of all the consequences of drinking. Maybe I need a nap. I tried calling people but no one picked up their phones hopefully someone will call back. I went to 5 meetings this week. I could be just tired and I forgot to make any calls yesterday because I was super busy so maybe that is why I feel this way. I saw my sponsor this morning. I just feel off today and depressed and lonely and tired. Hope this passes soon. Im just having a bad attitude today.

Just don't take that drink; it leads to unimaginable hell.

Hi, Anoronha.

Well, your desire to stay sober today overcame your "bad attitude" so far. Your commenting here is the evidence.

I understand. I feel out of sorts too. I think it's because my routine was badly altered this week. I just checked the meeting schedule and am going to hit one at 6pm, it's not a usual meeting of mine.

It's okay to feel this way, I think it's because we are beginning to be aware of our spiritual condition. It's what we do when we feels this way that matters. Sounds like you're trying to do the right things.

I hope you will feel better soon.

Take care.

I talked to someone on the phone today from AA another young gal like me and I went out to the bookstore and bought myself a book that I have wanted for a long time. I still feel like totally off today but I wont take a drink over it.

I think we all go through good and bad days ,It is just people that don't get drunk deal with them .

We all have those days, the important thing to remember is that just like a nickel swallowed by a small child, it shall pass.
Keep up the faith, your higher power will get you through.
Say the serenity prayer a few dozen times, it helps me...
Hang in there and stay strong!

Anoronha

Yes we all go through those days. This shall pass. Tomorrow I have to work all day so that should keep my mind occupied and me out of my own head.

The only difference is sober people don't numb out life .

Like we did .

Isn't that the truth. But we also need to learn how to deal with aside from getting drunk. Acknowledging that you are having a bad day, are having cravings is a huge step in that direction.

Or coming on here and talking about it! Good for you, keep up the good fight and playing the tape through.
