One month today
well, here I am. One month today. and woke up miserable. LOL...probably due to lack of sleep more than anything. The nightmares of going to jail are messing with my head. And yesterday my sponsor had to back down...unfortunately she has a few things going on with her that need to be dealt with, so she feels she is unable to properly do the steps with me...I respect that. Back to the drawing board. I didn't do the steps last time I sobered up so was very excited to start this process.
Thank god for this board. It has been a blessing the last month and I suspect for the rest of my journey as I go through a period of massive change.
I'm glad that even though I am facing a situation I never in a million years thought I would find myself in...the thought of going on a bender is the LAST thing on my mind.
Happy Hump Day! Lol

crazy how much can change within a short amount of time. A month ago I was homeless (the BF didn't want anything to do with me), my parents wanted nothing to do with me, I was crashing on couches, going through probably the worst detox/withdrawl ever, wasn't sure I had a job and facing legal and financial ruin. I was a lost soul who honestly, wasn't thinking very good thoughts at all. Even in my darkest benders, I never got THAT depressed, this time scared me.
Fast forward to today - I have my BF back, who is stepping up to the plate in so many ways that I am still in shock, my parents and friends have rallied around me with incredible support, my work has decided to give me one last chance. My legal situation as we all know isn't great, HOWEVER, it could have been much worse and I am going to turn this into a positive. Financially, not great but not near as bad as I was anticipating with lawyer, car repairs and court fines...plus - I still have a job, so that will work itself out.
it was the best/worst month of my life. And boy o boy, am I ever glad I came out on the other side with hopeful, positive thoughts. I owe a lot of that to THIS site.
