I need you all

I am so glad that I have a place to go... here at SR- especially when I just want to isolate and totally be alone,(but I know I cannot be left alone too long with my thinking and my head cause it is out to get me most of the time) I was feeling so bad tonight, yesterday, the day before.... It has been hitting me usually late at night- not a craving but just thoughts of taking a drink, but I know I cannot and this too shall pass, BUT WHEN???
Then I come here and get to get out of my own head by reading what you all post and I get some sense of relief, or I don't know... but I always stay here reading and thanking people for their posts until I feel better and can try to get some sleep.
I have 68 days today and I am very proud of myself. I do know that consequential thinking is probably the only thing that keeps me from that first drink most of the time (like tonight).
Thank you to everyone who posts... I need you all. :ghug2

Somehow God decided we all belong with each other. I'm happy for that.

68 rocks! You rock!

Hi Kerry,

I depend on SR a lot too and it really helps to come here and read. I never fail to be inspired here.

I also know how hard it can be to deal with the negative thoughts that come along. It does get easier with time, though.

Holy Cow!! 68 days!! Congrats on that. And I know, SR has been a lifeline for me. I'm not so unique anymore and neither is my problem.
