I've made 21 days sober! I feel more capable now then I have in the longest time. Just wanted to say this isn't a cake walk, but for once in my life I am showing conviction over adversity .

Having nightmares still, I don't sleep well and soul crushing anxiety. I think I cooked my brain on alcohol, and its still adjusting, but here I am. A victory of sorts...

I am truly looking forward to a higher standard of living, and my new life. Day to day this royally sucks at times... I will get my daughter back though, I will stay the course, and I will not drink again. Anymore I obsess about not drinking and I've almost cried at times with urges, but I am doing this... I don't feel good, but nothing really worth it, is easy.

Good day folks. Thanks for reading.

What wonderful news!

Great job!

I strongly believe, as I have seen this as a common trait in successful folks at sobriety, is acceptance

Once that we cross this, things are a lot easier, like raising a white flag. Then instead of fighting urges constantly, we get to live life on life's terms.

Glad to hear you are not drinking TDG. How is your progress on inpatient coming along? Sounds like you still have a lot of issues that inpatient could help with.

I have been watching you and your progress. I am amazed at how far you have come. I was really scared for you a month or so back. YOU ARE DOING THIS. each day will get a little better, but they have to come one day at a time. You should be proud, I know we are all rooting for you here at SR. Excellent progress!!!!

How bout an update on the inpatient?
I'm very glad you've made it 21 days, but I hope yet not gonna cop out on inpatient as you've done that before and ended up drunk again.

Hi J, Glad to hear it's 21 days. What happened with inpatient treatment? You still working on that?
You said you will get your daughter back? Not sure I understand. Do you mean soon? Like before you go through treatment? Nightmares and anxiety, and only three weeks past your latest version of hell. I fully understand and appreciate your desire to get your daughter back. I just hope you are focusing on the right things. It is often said that putting anything else before your sobriety could be detrimental to achieving it.
I know how much you love and care for your girl. I just hope you continue working on sobriety, go through a complete inpatient treatment center, get used to your medications and adjust to life before you bring your daughter back into the mix. It is not fair to her unless you are completely on solid ground. Hope you understand and appreciate my comments.
Glad for you on these three weeks. It's only the beginning my friend.

yes, you ARE doing this.

Nice turn around man... I know you were in a really tough spot there for a while. Something that I am going to say and take it for what you will... That after failed attempts maybe getting that inpatient is a good idea. I think I had to add something else each time I quit because the last time didnt work.

Sorry for the repost- so I might as well fill it with something else...

Whats your favorite part about being sober now? Is there something you find more enjoyment in now?
