Day 6 seeking inspiration 🤔
Morning everyone
Hope all you lovely people are ok and doing the best you can 😊
I’m feeling sick and headachy today and wondering when this is going to pass! Been so long that I’ve put rubbish into my body I guess it could take some time to clean out! So to keep me going I’ve started a journal, I’m posting on here, starting a 3 day juice detox tomorrow to get lots of nutrients in me, going to AA, yoga and lots of water.
I’ve been in search of inspiration and I heard this “there are two things in life I can no longer do, drink or drugs.....but what I can do without these is infinite” 👏
No matter how pants I feel today I will stay sober 👍

Day 6 is wonderful Jotick. I'm sorry you're not feeling well today. I've never tried a juice detox. I'm prediabetic, so all the sugar in the juice would throw me over the edge. I did drink lots of water and tea to flush the toxins out. Yoga sounds great. I don't have a class close by, but I think I'll try to find a YouTube class. Keep going. One day at a time. You've got some tough days done. You can do this!

Thanks Rar. You may be okay with just vegetable juice? Carrot and parsnip great for sweeting but not sure if that would work for you. How many days are you on?

good on ya for 6 days!
6,10,15 20,etc years is a long time, but those of us who have that also had a day 6 and know 6 days is an eternity and a miracle to stay sober that long.
heres a little something from the big book of AA and hope you find in inspirational:
We have shown how we got out from under. You say, "Yes, I'm willing. But am I to be consigned to a life where I shall be stupid, boring and glum, like some righteous people I see? I know I must get along without liquor, but how can I? Have you a sufficient substitute?"
Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that. It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous. There you will find release from care, boredom and worry. Your imagination will be fired. Life will mean something at last. The most satisfactory years of your existence lie ahead. Thus we find the fellowship, and so will you

I'm doing pretty well Jotick. Four weeks today and feeling so much better than I was a few weeks ago. The one thing I worry about it complacency, so I'm trying to renew my efforts to keep the momentum of my recovery going. Hope you have a good day today.
