Day 4

Well it's day 4. Life on life's terms keeps ringing in my head. My terminally Ill grandmother is being admitted to a nursing home this weekend and this is very painful for me. I am her medical power of attorney so the decision has to be mine as well. I'm full of fear for her, I am saddened and I do just want to run and escape. But I'm not going to do that. Work the steps, stay right with my higher power and do the next right thing. I want to stay sober through this phase In her life and mine. My body has been so tense because of this situation, it hurts, my tailbone is raging, my shoulder is funky and it would be real easy to drink it away, but I'm not. I'm staying sober today.

Hi. I’m sorry for your pain but as you say “life on lifes terms” is a fact we don’t like. at times, I still don’t as I still have an undisciplined streak within me, however I need to accept the things I can’t change without my old escape mechanism, drinking. It takes practice and many have accomplished it one day or minute at a time. It works if we work it.

BE WELL

I'm sorry about your situation, but your resolve sounds strong.
Congratulations on four days, that was always a tough one for me.
Stay strong. There's nothing that a drink will make better.
You'll be in my thoughts.
