Feeling a little better...
Just an update for those of you who helped me get through these past couple of weeks. First thank you!!! You're support is priceless 
second, I woke up today feeling a little more like my good self. Reaching out on here, in 3D w my AA peeps & going to therapy yesterday reallyhelped. I know I have so much more to learn in my sobriety but every time I get through hard times, I feel more confident in my ability to handle life sober. I am still having passive drinking thoughts but today they are just that- thoughts. I don't have to act on them. Rising from the ashes slowly but surely...

Exactly, they are just thoughts. You can recognize them for what they are, and then let them go. For such a long time, I felt like I had to act on every thought or feeling that I had and I wondered why my life was like a roller-coaster ride. When you can distance yourself, even a little bit, from acting on the thoughts and feelings, peace will come into your life.

I'm glad to hear this. I don't know if you realize it but posts like these are priceless for folks who are struggling or depressed or hopeless. With patience, humility, and some hard work, I truly believe things can get better.

I didn't think of that uncool but it makes a lot of sense. I like to try & spread an even amount of hope for all my despair lol there is definitely more good days in sobriety than bad

Quit. You are doing wonderfully. I was reflecting on a time when I was 1 week shy of a year's sobriety. I was fussy and overwhelmed. The thoughts of drinking were endless. Seeing you push through these hard moments gives me hope for when I reach the moments of awkward uncomfortable thinking.You are doing it. This is fabulous.
Keep on keeping on Quit.
