Yes, it is darling strat.

I'm sorry it was a rough few months for you love....
I know that it always helps me to know that you are all here, and that we can talk about anything. :hug: ♥

Hi everybody,
Just want to check in for my next 24. I really do love these days of mine now. Friday's used to be my BIG drinking night. My husband went early for dinner & a meeting. Our son meetings & hanging with the friends in the Fellowship.
That meant me in my LUCY kitchen watching wedding tv shows and drinking my 2 bottles of Cabernet. Just writing that down is -UGH- the worst! :scared:
I am forever thankful and grateful to my HP for leading me to AA, and then shortly after, to this website and to you all. :dance8::dance8:
:grouphug: Bobbi

Strat, just know that you can climb any mountain. Sorry to hear you got sidetracked but you are back on path. With all of us.

I'm not completely sure how to broach this subject and have been super apprehensive about this, but I picked up Wednesday night. I am fine and it's only solidified my commitment to recovery even more. There is nothing there and I like my sober life too much. I am disappointed in myself and I'm sure I've disappointed everyone here which I am really sorry for, but I screwed up. However, I am recommitted to recovery. Vee's voice keeps on going through my head in with, "onward". Those days will keep building again and in the long-run, it's going to be a blip.

Neo-one of my favorite Vee sayings is that we do this together. Why not pour out what you have?

Strat,
In my meetings I've heard, "We don't leave our wounded" I know that saying is for wars; I've also heard our addictions spoken of like a war too.
You really are a strong person Strat. Thank you, thank you for your honesty. We gotcha here and in our prayers.
Love & Hugs,
Bobbi

It's funny how we always come back to the same conclusions. Not that your slip is funny, Strat. Anything but...I'm sorry you had to relive this. Just don't let this stumble build up again. I know how easily that can happen as it did for me last summer. Took me almost three months then to get off the stuff.


I'm super glad you were honest about it. We are here for you always, friend! Up and onwards!

RBJ-it also took me a month until I felt normal again. As others have mentioned, the body is just repairing itself.

Thank you all so much for your support and understanding. :hug: I felt that I needed to be honest. I knew I was in danger for awhile. Some of it has been that I've felt lost for awhile since after my first year of sobriety. There has been this sense of failure for the past several months. The failure has nothing to do with sobriety, but with other things that were really important to me. It's just been hard. I should have communicated, but didn't. However, with the relapse, I've learned that there is nothing there in that alcohol induced haze that is worth it. Sober life is much better.


Love and hugs, dear Strat. Please remember that there is no need to struggle in silence. We are here . . .

SoberLeigh 06-24-2016 07:35 PM

Goodnight, all.

See you tomorrow.

Coldfusion 06-24-2016 08:57 PM

I'm glad to have you here, Strategery. You are a shining example of strength and courage!

8:57 PM on Orcas Island, I'm ready for another 24 hours of sobriety.

Thank you - that's a sweet compliment! But no, I'm an insurance broker. It's been a dream of mine to write stories and with just a little bit more sober time I'd like to give it a whirl. For now I'm Walter Mitty.

Once upon a time there was an insurance broker from San Diego who at 9:24 pm wanted 24 more hours of sobriety...

And she lived happily ever after. :)

Love to all -

Lillian
