Baby steps
Hello nice people,
Today is day 26 and I will be waking up to day 27 tomorrow.
I am very excited to be able to receive a 30 day chip (God willing) soon.
Every day sober since my awful awful last drunk has been a gift.
The days have been short and the cold dark air of Fall has me cozy
in the house, reading , filling out applications and cooking.
I still have a lot to deal with. I still have a lot of acceptance to work through. I am accepting the fact that I can not drink to numb out
my situation and trying to deal with the consequences one day at a time.
Drinking comes to my mind to kill the time- to feel a different way- to kid myself of everything it kidding me of. Then I feel that dread/that hazy cloudy doom/nauseous/shameful remorse. I guess that is thinking it through. Boy it seems to be working.
Just checking in to thank everyone as always for your support.
My heart smiles when I hear all experiences and inspiration from all
who post here

Well done Faith. Every day that takes us further away from our last drunk truly is a gift from God.
I can really identify with so much of what you wrote in your posts. I surrendered and threw in the towel 19 months ago and everything you are experiencing now I have experienced too.
You are doing all the right things . The most important thing is to not drink NO MATTER WHAT. I I had days when I wanted to drink so bad. I would Pray, go to a meeting or call my sponsor or another alcoholic. I just had to concentrate on that day ONLY. You are going to think about drinking. You are an alcoholic. However, it is what you do we those thoughts that matter and as I said before you are doing all the right things.
In the last 19 months I have not once regretted NOT drinking.
Lots of love and support to you.

Thank you so much! It was so nice to wake up on day 27 to this post.
I appreciate the encouragement! It is so nice to know I am not alone and it DOES get better.
I have lost a lot- but if finally receive the gift of solid sobriety and genuine gratefulness the pain I have experienced while drinking and dealing with the wreckage will serve its purpose.
