Depressed and worried about Dora's running off. Hoping she's safe somewhere.

Thanks for joining me on my thread least and recoverywfaith. This isn't just my thread. Anyone can join us and tell us how you feel today.

Least I saw on the other thread about Dora. I hope she gets a safe and loving home.

I'm feeling Grateful today that the hurricane didn't hit my area as bad as it could of. Some areas got it bad though. Also been feeling in a rut with my recovery. But i haven't stop doing what I've learned in recovery. Going back out drinking is not an option for me today.

Wish I could say I've been feeling good, but I haven't.

My feeling is the same as yours scaredy cat.

Today my feeling is longing for happiness.

Feeling much better today. Even after being sober for a while I still get those crazy roller coaster rides. I've learn though on those days to just keep your seat belt fasten really tight and hang on. Because it always gets better soon.

Blackbird I hope your feeling better today. There is always something to have Gratitude or happiness over. Even something as small as the sunrise in the morning and definitely your sobriety should be at the top of the list.

I'm feeling a lot of Gratitude today with how people are supportive with each other and caring for each other in this time of need in my area due to the major flooding in my area last week.

I learned a while ago in the rooms that you can get through anything as long as you don't pick up that first drink or drug.

Feeling good today. Been busy with a lot of service work this week and that helps keep me sober too.

I feel very worried today. My cat is sick and I don't know what is wrong with her. We're going to the Vet's this afternoon.

feeling pretty good today. Been reflecting a lot on the flooding we had in my area the beginning of the month. Thinking about the AA's that lost their homes. Especially the newcomers, and I pray that they don't give up on their sobriety.

Today I'm feeling happy the sun's is shining. We haven't had much of that lately.

Feeling happy that we have Indian summer here this weekend. Gonna be in the 70's. Woo-hoo!

Also excited about going out of town with a couple of sober friends to an assembly for our service work.

missing my wine so badly and feeling jealous of people who can enjoy a casual glass of wine without diving into the bottle...i know that i cannot. feeling better because i slept through the night last night and didn't wake with a hangover, for the first time in a long time. feeling like i wil make it through day 2 sober.

Hi Goodcheer and welcome to SR. We're glad your here.

Congrats on being newly sober. Just remember why you quit drinking when you feel jealous of others. I know what your saying where I use to have those feelings also when I first got sober. Most everyone feels that way when they first quit drinking.

Just remember to stay in today. Just one day at a time. Don't worry about yesterday where its already past, and don't worry about tomorrow where it isn't here yet.

feeling shaky this evening. went to an AA women's meeting, which was warm, thoughtful and interesting, and a couple of women were nice to me. even so, i felt afraid of so many new people, so many with years of sobriety. i am also getting used to the principles and the protocol and felt so unfamiliar. here i am on day 3 and it was all i could do to stay sober, my mind reeling with fantasies of red wine. i know i should feel empowered, but i left feeling like a loser. not the meeting's fault, it is my responsibility. i am just feeling a lot of shame, and i can't take a drink to quiet that feeling.

Thanks msbelle57. That's an old post from 2 years ago. My Dad still has alzheimer's but is hanging in there. He's been on medication for a while now. My recovery program has taught me "life on life's terms" and acceptance. That's how I have to deal with it today or I'll drive myself crazy otherwise.

Goodcheer- Hope your still hanging in there. It does get better.

Good to see you joining us Blackbirdfly. I hope you don't mean your stuffing your feelings cause that isn't good. I use to do that. That's why I drank.


I'm feeling good today. Very Grateful for my life today.
