My AV... My monster... The thing that wants to destroy everything I care about raised its head and spoke today. No, I did not drink. I thought if I was not drinking it could not make me do it's bidding, but I was wrong.

I did something extremely hurtful and I did not understand why until I realised it was my monster working through me. What I did did not reflect any sort of normal behavior on my part, and did not even jive with how I was feeling at the time. Oh my darling Suze... I am so sorry.

My monster hates that I am working a program of recovery. It writhes and kicks inside my head. This is how I know I am doing the right thing

This tells me I cannot rest on my laurels in recovery. I want my monster gone. I do not ever want to be that person again.

Goodnight Guys

It will be so nice to have it behind you. I think the fear of the unknown is sometimes the most difficult for anxiety/worry. I know it is for me.

Pebbles, I'm with you 100% as well. It is very sad that in 2017 things seem to be going backward rather than forward. It makes me very sad.

A warm summer night here...the sunset a hot pink. My feathered friends are saying goodnight now.

My friend the moon will be here soon ~ he will keep me company as I work here at my desk. He is the strong silent type. Hee hee...it works for him.

I'd like 24 more hours please. There are loved ones who are relying on me tonight.

Sweet dreams all ~
Lillian

BENEFITS:

*I'm feeling more calm than I have in a long time but my skin is very itchy and I'm getting red spots sometimes.

* My bank account is not at zero and I'm paying back credit debt (most of which is for booze).

DRAWBACK:
I fantasize about my next drink! Need to be careful.

24 HOURS AT A TIME!

Spoiler Alert: It will keep getting better and better and better!!!!!

It's time to get on with Sunday Day 2 with a new attitude from now, even if it IS already afternoon - I don't have to wait until tomorrow to start. And I'll start by taking my dog for a walk.

I Definitely Commit to another 24 hours Sober.

Stay close, Seska, and never give up.

Welcome to Day 2.

Be sure to lean on us ANY Time.
