fallingtogether

I am thrilled for sobriety

I thank my higher power for another day sober and ask for help in remaining sober today.

I hear the birds, and it's comforting.

I check Facebook, and when I see drunken posts from friends, I imagine that being me posting them-- just so I remember that terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that screams: Sarah!!!!! What the eff is wrong with you! Why would you post THAT!?????

Then I make my coffee and smile, because I didn't stagger to the coffee pot, I don't reek of booze from the night before and I am ready to tackle the day!!!!

Sobriety resets the "normal" in my life, and I am totally down with it. Life still happens, problems still arise, but as long as I remain normal, I will get through this just fine.

Have a super sober Thursday folks!

And it's ONLY because I realized I am an alcoholic that I can appreciate every single thing I do today! If I continued on the path I was on, I would still be a selfish bitter mother of two, wife of one (lol) and find something wrong with very situation I come across. I'm grateful I found out I'm an alcoholic!!!

Last time I stayed clean for 31 days... the longest I can remember.
I'm on day 4 (again).
Looking to go longer this time around. But all I am sure of is I'm not drinking now.
When I go back to drinking, it's hard to come here to visit because feel I don't belong.
When I am battling and feeling better, I come for support and inspiration.
Glad to be back.
Someone once said, "A fool is someone who makes a mistake 999 times, and does it again".
Peace y'all.

I'm glad you're doing well.

I am grateful I accepted my problem too. It makes life so much easier to just know I no longer drink. No more arguing. Happy sober thursday!
