Day 2....
It is day 2 of my journey today and I hope I always remember how bad I feel right now. I hope to never forget these moments. I feel guilty, full of shame, anger at myself, and so many other negative things. I was starting to feel really good being sober but I won't let my setback hold me back from the ultimate goal.
I hear them say, IT DOES GET BETTER, and that is what I'm holding on to right now at this moment in time.

Don't be so hard on yourself!! I fell, too. Using my dad's death as an excuse, I feel guilty about that! But it is part of the diease, telling me it's a good reason.
Dust yourself off and keep coming back, I'm very glad you are here!

Hi Kathy,
Thanks so much! I'm glad you are back too. It is good to know that we are not alone in this fight and knowing that gives us so much strength.
It is not in the falling down, but in the getting back up that really matters.
We are showing great courage!!

Heya AngelHugs! Welcome back to Day 2, it's a lot better than Day 0, and it'll be better on Day 3. By Day 5 you'll be dizzy from all the optimism.
Hold on to anything that works

Angelhugs! Never give up the fight! The relapse is in the past -- look forward. Someone said something to me after a relapse, it was you may have lost that battle, but you haven't lost the war. Come on Angel, use your powers for good, not evil!!!! LOL

My First Step won't keep you sober. However, yours just might! Found it helps when we keep our feet firmly planted on the ground and continue reaching for the GOAL while doing the needed work.
I see HOPE for me, for you and for US!
Kiss Heart of Spirit
In Love & Service,

Goodnight everyone...I'm ending my day 2 sober..and will wake up to a fresh day 3. I'll feel better in the morning.
Going to sleep a little early tonight but I'm trying to be gentle with myself and get as much rest as I possibly can.
Thanks for being here today.

You know, it is day 3 for me but I just feel like giving up.
I just ask myself why even try?
I am just a horrible human being.......I don't even deserve friends. I should be all alone because I am a monster.

Good morning, AngelHugs!!!
Day 3 is great! Don't give up! - There's a million reasons you should try, you being at the top of the list.
And I guess you do deserve a friend, cause I'm here. We all lose our confidence at first, but believing in yourself is sooooo worth it, even when ya don't feel like it. I'm rooting for you.
I've found sometimes I'm strongest when I'm down on my knees. You're not alone, AngelHugs. Have a wonderful day.
