You're right Dee.
Too self absorbed I suppose. At least I'm going to bed sober!
Tomorrow:)

This. I may not post all the times I struggle but I come here and read. I will count myself as being fortunate for not struggling every day but I do have my days or parts of days. I don't think anyone just quits and that's all there is to it. It would be nice if it worked that way, but I know it didn't for me.

<hugs Sparkos>

Glad you found a way to stick with us Aary :)

I'm also doing some AA I can't do a lot of meetings I travel to much. I also had problems with the higher power concept at first till I figured out a good motivation for me. Doesn't matter what vehicle we use for the trip as long as we make it to our desired destination.

Oh deary me :(, sparkie I know how you feel, is so frustrating, and wish i could say will all be ok, but is a tough journey, I spent the day with my neighbour, just so i couldnt drink, she hates it, we will get there in the end, we will, one day x

Whatever keeps you Sober! We all have our own way we feel comfortable. I still find sharing in AA hard sometimes. I got sober in AA and I adhere to many of the Traditions and all the Steps. I have worked the steps many times and will start again on 4/22 as that is my sobriety date. As I go along I find my head racing more and more and struggle with it a lot. Probably time to work with a new Sponsor. I would not want to go thru life without Sobriety and the people I know who live a Sober life.

Good to see you back Toddle :)

I thought i might have been banned! this sobriety is hard work, now bf dumped me, all seems doom and gloom, all the braveness has gone, like in one second, pooft...still, no point being woe is me, just have to get up and brush myself down

I'm sorry about your boyfriend, Toddle. :hug:

I thought my world was going to end after my boyfriend left. I saw all the plans that we had for the future just vanish. I can't control anyone other than myself.

Just start by being sober for today.

Part of me thinks whats the point, I know this a recovery site, and i dont advocate continuing drinking, but I hurt a lot atm, I know drink isnt the answer, I dont know :(

Aside from drinking what do you think will help you feel better?

Toddle, you're probably all wound up from your drinking yesterday, too.

You had five weeks when you had this little slip, right? You still have that five weeks, you know what it felt like. Something happened and you let down your guard for a moment. None of us are perfect here. (okay, I'm not, dunno about the rest of y'all.) If you haven't been drinking today then don't start. If you've been drinking today, well - stop now.

You are a beautiful smart woman. You will find a man who is well suited to you - or maybe you'll get back with the ex, who knows what the future will bring. Right now just be well.

(eHug)

Toddle, are you ok? Worried.

Toddle,

I'm sorry I missed you. I stepped away to make some soup. I really hope you will be alright. I think you've made friends here that care. I know I do.

I hope to see you again soon hun.

:hug:

Getting worried about Toddle here, too......Have been keeping up with things.....

I know it's natural to worry with vaguely worded posts but I did send Toddle a boatload of links to find help, if she needs it.

She's offline now. I expect we'll hear from her later :)

I pray Toddle is okay.
