But I Am So Sorry!
Continually saying I am sorry and then repeating the same behaviour really wore my loved ones
out. How many times have they heard my empty promises?
When I got sober I thought, Look at me! I wanted a pat on the back and to be told "Oh Honey
we are so proud of you" and all is forgiven.
When it didn't happen that way I would get angry because my expectations were not met. I'd
say say heck with it, if this is what I get by being sober I may as well drink.
Expectations get us into trouble.
I expected my son to get over the things I did when drunk. I expected affection from my hubby
and when I didn't get it, I became indignant.Threw myself a pity party and started putting
conditions on my sobriety.
Saying "Well if things don't get better around here in 1 month I may as well drink." Or "What's
the use anyways".
This happened several times in the past and I drank again when all those high expectations were
not met.
I expected instant forgiveness and when I didn't get it I used it as an excuse to drink again. Only
to add more crap to my story.
Some of our loved ones may never come to forgive us. Or it is going to take some time.
Some of us did some major damage. But it is very important that we forgive
ourselves and realize that we have an illness.
We are not bad people trying to get good, we are sick people trying to get well.
We will be defeated once again if we say well they don't forgive me so heck with it I will get
drunk or high.
For me I have found that saying I am sorry was not cutting it anymore that they needed to see
change. Consistent change.
What our families want to see most is that we are putting forth a consistent effort towards our recovery.
No more empty promises. They want to see action.
In The past Promises did not get me sober, Wishing did not get me sober,
Thinking did not get me sober.
Action got me sober this time.
For me taking suggestions from people who were sober and
actually doing what they suggested.
What action am I going to take today?

2:25 AM in dallas. No sleep, no chance of it. Stressed, feel like I won't get these two jobs i have interviews for. I wish something would finally go right in life... Pretty sure I'll just relapse and end up doing something dumb by the end of this day. I wonder if I'm strong enough to pull through...
24 hours please.
24 hours please.
Checking in for another 24 sober hours. 5:02 a.m. in Ohio.

It is 5:40 AM MST in SE Arizona and I'm here for another 24 hours. It's a beautiful morning here: it is still dark, the sky is full of stars and the temperature is in the mid-40's. Another great day in the making!
