I'm in for another sober 24 hours.
This evening, we are throwing a going away party for a fellow employee. The booze will be flowing. Not a problem--I can be in a bar or at a party with lots of booze and not get the slightest urge. It's when I anticipate being home alone that the urge rears its ugly head (I was a solitary drunk).

Thanks for the congrats on 3 weeks Venuscat....feeling good, thinking drinking finally became more painful than not drinking.

hi
last night I broke off with my best friend, she was in my life as friend for a year and half but she was the first person to shake my hand at AA meeting in my second meeting 2 years, 8 months ago, and being a cornerstone in my sobriety my mistake was to fall in love for her she is married. I did not went to work today, funny I feel like I'm shaking like the shakes went you sober up.
I'm lost I don't know how it happens , I have woman friends before and in my experience never happen before.
I know this is only about sobriety but now I don't have a best friend to talk about it.
I really need this 24 more than ever.
ok let live life at life terms.
drugs and alcohol will not change the outcome .

Accepting Help
Some of us have felt so alienated that we've forgotten we're not alone. We've come to believe that we have to do it ourselves. Some of us have been abandoned. Some have gone without love. Some of us have gotten used to people never being there for us. Some of us have struggled, had hard lessons to learn.
God's there, always ready to help. There is an ample supply of people to care about us too. We will, if we want it, receive love and support, comfort and nurturing. If we take the risk to ask for it, help is there. We can draw on the strength of our recovery group and allow ourselves to be helped and supported by our Higher Power. Friends will come, good friends.
We aren't alone. And we don't have to do it ourselves. We're not doing it ourselves. There is no shortage of love. Not anymore.
Today, God, help me let go of my need to do it alone and my belief that I am alone. Help me tap into Your Divine Power and Presence, and your resources for love, support, and friendship. Open my eyes and heart so I can see the love, help, and support that's there for me. Help me know I am loved.
