I am Back!

After 34 days sober! Feeling all my true emotions which include, depression, anxiety, mood swings and anger. When I look at these things, they are minor compared to the feeling I felt when I was drunk.

Even with these real emotions, I am truly feeling Happy and proud I made it this far. I think the key was breaking things down to "one' day at a time instead of using words such as "forever" and "never".

Also everyone remember:

Prayer without faith is pointless. You have to believe in something even if you don't believe in god. I feel like God has brought me to this point even with everything I have gone through. He has kept me Alive even through my own "hell" and back! So I would like to thank him and you good people at SR.

Thank you and God Bless!

Welcome Back! Congrats on 34 days. The whirlwind of emotions is what I remember and now that seems to be settling a bit. Keep up the hard work and check in often!

Hey congratulations and huge well done on 34 days. Totally agree the words never and forever are so scary it's much more positive to just think of today xx
