Sath's accountability thread

Day 5 complete. Hopefully my last day 5 ever! Feeling flat and looking forward to some emotions again. I know the drink would be a shortcut. Gotta go through this to get free of it.

Hey Sath, great work on 5 days, I know how hard that can be. You've got a great resource here and we're all rooting for you.

You're right, there is no way around just doing it.

Congratulations on Day 5!

Win the battle today

Wanted to drink this afternoon but I chose not to and was rewarded by a great talk with my sponsor, a lovely game night with friends and the privilege of being present for a friend that really needed me. I feel happy and content despite feeling like a grouch earlier. Things aren't always great, but I know I'm starting tomorrow with the gift to myself of no hangover and chance of a pretty deme not sleep.

I'm embarrassed and discouraged. I drank last night even though I know better. I hate that indie this despite knowing I have everything going for me and I don't want to drink. This sucks.

Hi sath,

This is now behind you, time to look forward and understand what went wrong this time round.

Why don't you join the August Class with us? Very nice support group.

I agree, knowing the mechanism that caused the'slip' is key to preventing the same thing in the future

Keep on keepin' on

Hi Stah

Many of us faltered a time or two.

do you have support outside of SR?

If not, it's even more vital to post here before you drink...there's always help here to help you make the right decision

Do you think you've made enough changes in your life?

Some of us self medicated, some of us drank with friends...it's important we look at changing those conditions.

Whats your recovery plan look like?

I have a good sponsor and good group of sober ladies. Service position and working through step one. I feel like I'm still fighting myself to some degree.

I will look at the recovery plan links and think about it. I've wondered what these look like and have not gone there yet.
