Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Strat- hope you are feeling less stressed and sleep pattern is better xx
24 please! Bit rubbish this morning- mum was taken into hospital last night. She has had this chest infection that won't go away-when I facetimed her last night she did not look well so I told her to see an out of hours Dr who said her oxygen levels were a bit low so admitted her. Glad she's in the right place but doesn't stop me worrying and am sure poor dad will be beside himself
Wish I could be up north with them rather than having to go to work, but I have a fully booked surgery all day today so can't really cancel. Also, one of the partners at work is in a bad mood at the moment which doesn't help.
Oh well. I'm glad to be part of this 24 hour thread and glad to be sober with all you lovely sober friends. Hope your days today are better than mine xx

When I was drinking I was trying to obtain this hope through alcohol. I remember saying to myself that life was boring and by drinking I could create a little party deep inside. But what I have learned is that after the alcohol wore off I had to return to that boring place of sameness. Alcohol was a deception, and more than that it damaged me in ways I have yet to discover.
But the truth in recovery, for me, is that my life is rolling out in front of me like a red carpet in Hollywood. My hope is that I can be present to the here and now and recognize the freshness of the future.
The realization that something new and wonderful is here, now, is the point where I turn away from my negative scripts and embrace the fact that I am a part of the Creating force of this awareness. I pray to God for another 24 hours of this spiritual understanding and for the grace to feel the future with anticipation and joy.

5:49am. Day 4 take 58 or so. This time is different because I quit drinking and I'm not struggling with the how am I going to keep this under control when I start drinking again dilemma. Looking forward to this next 24 hours of sobriety!
