Hey guys having a rough day and cant wait for it to end and start again 2maro. . I dont know what the problem is, i just get this fear and regret that blindsides me outa nowhere.. im almost 90 days sober and feel pretty good most days.. but then i just have such a tough time letting go of what happened to me and realizing and accepting the life i worked so hard to build is gone due to drinking.. i payed a heavy price.. i know in time things will be how ever they are meant to be. But...... i dont know, sorry to vent, just looking for hope abd experience.....thx
Hi Gonzo:
Sorry you are having a not so good day! From reading this post, I am guessing you are dealing with some regret-type issues...That's a tough one. Also, dealing with guilt. But, those are two things that most recovering addicts have to work through.
I don't know what your higher power or faith is, but I've come to a realization that I need to trust in God for everything, not just the things I pick and choose to trust Him in.
So, that thought has led me to know that I need to entrust my guilt and regrets to the Lord. It seems to be the only way I can release them...I've tried to release them on my own and I cannot seem to do it.
Hope the rest of your day is better...

Thx teatree, yes i do believe in higher power and i do have faith.. but i still get in my own way.. its a lost relationship that is hurting the most, expecially since i think we will get back together one day.. but i dont know if thats my ego or true feelings, early sobriety blows!!

Hi gonzo I am pretty good at the moment... today is 90 days for me.
I hope at least when you hit 90 days soon you'll allow yourself to feel great about it That's what I'm doing.
Post about it so we can make a BIG deal out of it!

I hope tomorrow will be better for you Gonzo
I always aim to help someone else - that way not only is my day better, but so is someone elses - it's much better than dwelling on the past and the things I cannot change.

I can reassure you gonzo that most of us here understand and there is just something about that which seems to help. Don't know why that is, but it just seems to work somehow. Sorry for your hurting and sending healing vibes your way!
