another week! now it's time to start working on those other addictions/compulsions/distractions like hiding in a movie or book, burying in work or a project, and otherwise seeking escape from reality...

you're on the right track...

Wow- I haven't been on this site for a few months...
Well its my 3 months just around the corner.. and WHOLE LEE... sh!t... longest I have stayed sober since I first hit the bottle and was introduced to drugs..
My oh my... how the days seem to get lonelier, and lonelier.
I am constintly trying to find myself not crying when Im a lone. I can't stand it..
majority of all my friends, either are still on the wrong path and abusing themselves or they just dont' have a problem like I did...
Many times have I told myself I DON'T WANT TO DRINK.. enough-enough-enough hurting myself..
Until one day.. I finally just had ENOUGH... I put a stop to it.

Many good things are slowly BUT surely coming back into my life.. ex. My family... my good friends whom I lost along the road.. because they just couldn't handle me and I don't blame them... and most importantly... clarity. I am very clear minded most days..
However others are like a thunder storm you only wish yuo could prevent.. because your whole world comes crashing, banging and really severly comin down.. too me.. its the withdrawl.. the devil trying to protray the booze.. its yuor body just getting it out..
I cry.. I cry alot but I also tell myself... TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY.. you must work at this dease and fight it.. AND WIN the fight! Its you who is goign to oevrcome it.. No one esle can for you.. its a mind game and you must beat it...
Stay clean..
Please if anyone ever wants to talk message me anytime.. thank you!

hey miki and mallory--thanks for popping in and way to go wth your journeys!

i'm stopping in because i have much to be thankful for--wonderful family, holiday season and 131 days of sobriety. i'm working on that 3rd step and moving towards 4th--turning my will and willpower over to God. trying to get in the habit. i thank God for getting me further on this journey and giving my hope...

scootinbabe

thankful for another week! finishing step 3 and debating about beginning 4 or should wait until after holiday since things are so busy? hm...

Wow! I just finished reading your thread. I've noticed other posts that you have written on the board. What an inspiration. I'm on day six. Spending a lot of time reading over the forum when I am not at work or at a meeting and just don't know what to do with myself. I find myself feeling like a know some of you. Just like listening to people in a meeting.

Congratulations. You give me hope!

okay. next week will be christmas and my 5 monthiversary. i'm still moody and hanging in. know i need to work the program more. but i'm sober. sober longer than i've been in at least 15 years. gotta give myself credit for that. telling myself: you are doing it somehow. take good care of yourself. you are worth it. give everything up to hp. let his will be done. things will work out.

i am so grateful that i've made it this far! thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
