Our old cat was put to sleep yesterday, he was 18 years old.
Strange and sad to go downstairs and not see his big eyes looking at me.

Good Morning friends.
7:50am, in for 24 more hours of wonderful sobriety.
Feeling forlorn and downtrodden today. For no real specific reason. Does anybody just wake up from a good nights sleep and want to yell and scream at everything and everybody? This isn't even a sobriety thing, my moods are so crazy sometimes and not rational, even before sobriety.
My poor cat today, she just wanted a few pats on the head and I yelled at her and threw a book at her. I just want to turn all the lights off in my office, close the door, and disappear into the nothing.
I need to find the will to actually work today, I'm so far behind in what needs to be done and I just can't face the day. Ugh.
Stay safe all, have a wonderful day.

Good morning SR family
Tired tired oh my ......... please 24 hrs. More of sobriety and drugs freedom.
Love and the hope of it are not things one can learn; they are a part of life's heritage.
—Maria Montessori
Love is a gift we've been given by our Creator. The fact of our existence guarantees that we deserve it. As our recognition of this grows, so does our self-love and our ability to love others.
High self-esteem, stable self-worth were not our legacies before finding this program. We sought both through means, which led nowhere. These Steps and our present relationships are providing the substance and direction needed in our lives to discover our worthiness.
Had we understood that we were loved, in all the years of our youth, perhaps we'd not have struggled so in the pain of alienation. We were always at the right hand of God, never apart, loved and watched over. But we didn't recognize the signs. The signs are everywhere present now. Each Step is a constant reminder. Every human contact is a message from God. Any desire we are eager to make manifest is a beckoning from God for growth.
I will look for the signs of my benefactor today. They're present everywhere.

I feel like i can do anything. I feel like i could walk out my front door and go climb a mountain with no ropes or anything. I'm not going to do that. That would be crazy. I'd die for sure. And there's no mountains in london anyway. But the point is, i never thought i'd stay sober for a year and by doing something i never thought i'd do, for the first time in my life i'm really starting to believe in myself. Anything seems possible.
It feels amazing knowing that i beat my av every day for a year. I've shown my av that i'm the boss of me, i call the shots and i'm so much stronger than i thought i was. That doesn't mean my av has gone away. It will be with me forever, lurking around, waiting for me to get too complacent. I know that no matter how hard i work rebuilding my life, if i start drinking again, it will all come crashing down fast. But you know what? I don't mind having my av following me around through this life like a bad tempered shadow. Having my av means i get to check in here every day with you lovely lot. If i didn't have my av, i wouldn't know any of you. And meeting you guys has been the very best part of this last year.
I wish my year of sobriety had given me actual superpowers so i could fly round the world today and congratulate all my fellow milestoners in person (11 months canadian koala!!!) and say thank you to each and every one of you. Sadly, i don't seem to be able to fly. Maybe that happens after 2 years? I don't know, i'll have to wait and see. But please know that i can't begin to thank each of you enough. What happens here is a team effort. We celebrate each other's successes and support each other when we're down. It's a beautiful thing to be part of and i wouldn't have got my year and be feeling like this today if it wasn't for all of you. Thank you. I owe you all so much. Thank you.
And pebbles.... I'm loving the avatar :you_rock_
love you all so much. 24 more hours for me please xxx

Wow!! Thanks everyone for all the kind words. And Canadian Koala, thank you so much for the fireworks and the koala hug and the personalised hearts flying out the box.... now that's not a sentence I say every day!
Jack, I'm so sorry about your cat. Like Bandi said, pets are family members too and it's devastating when they pass away. I'm sending you a big hug too.
SaturatedSeize, I think it's entirely normal to sometimes wake up from a good night's sleep and want to yell at everything and everyone. At least I hope it's normal. It definitely happens to me. Be kind to yourself and try to remember that these feelings will pass xx
And I believe in you too JSM. So much.
Sending lots of love to you Weev. When can we start watching the Walking Dead? I've taped 2 episodes but I'm not watching them without you xxxx
