I'll speed ahead. I give this everything or nothing. Still can't sleep so I'm using the time. Blue book, journal, prayer, art. My tools. Doing first step work sheeting. Minimum one meeting a day. Keep coming back. My first attempt at all of this with an aweaome sober date of 7-7-14. That's an awesome date! Would hate to have to change it. They say it works if you work it! What every it takes, no matter what. A day at a time feels like too much. Some minutes pass like days.

Now I wish I had 7-7 instead of 7-8 lol. Well, I can remember I was the day after 7-7. It sounds like you have your head in the right place. You can do this!

7-8 is an awesome date too. Any day is a great day to start a new serene life! You can do it too.

Things will get easier Chloe

Don't forget to give yourself a little 'downtime' too - recovery is all about a full happy life not 24/7 work

I can still remember minutes passing that felt like hours. But, you never have to go through that again.

Thanks everyone. Right now I'm working constantly, only because it I do downtime I start craving a drink. I am sure to have to slow down soon, but right now, it's my lifeline

i love reading posts like this were someone is putting in the hard efforts needed in the start of leaning a new way of living life

it reminds me of how hard i had to work just to get through a day with my head spinning around with all sorts of nonsense going on i had no way to find an off switch for it other then waiting for the next meeting to start

i can remember wishing that aa was open 24 7 so i could sit in the rooms all day long as i hated going back to my empty flat were my head would attack me again

thankfully i am well past all that these days but its something i had to get through to get to were i am today

good post and i am so happy for you that your mounting up the days

Thanks everyone working on steps 2 and three. If god gets me through today, tomorrow will be one week sober. I know MY GOD will help me as long as I surrender and trudge.... Thanks
