Checking in for 24. The other day I sat on the bus and put my hand forward. Stared at it for a good while. It wasn't shaking. When I was drinking, it couldn't stop shaking. Sometimes simple things remind us of the beauty of sobriety.

Congrats to the milestoners and prayers to those that are struggling

Another 24 hours of serenity, loving kindness and sobriety ! Its 5:48am here !

Facing the financial crap is hard, and it's terrifying (well it was for me).
I did it too in my first year of sobriety....I spoke to every single creditor, looked at the giant mess I was in, felt sorry for myself, felt disgusted that I was being self-indulgent, realised that I needed HELP, real help, program/recovery help to handle this stuff.

And so I came here....and SR friends helped me.

I thought I was going to jail....ask Nick....I thought that for years....all I could concentrate on was what would happen to Venus?

Lordy, what an idiot I was.
I was just scared and ashamed.....and I discovered lots of other people understood that, and had done similar things.

Weev ~ just put one foot in front of the other honey.
It will work out.
Make the arrangements to pay stuff off if you need to, and then just let it go. :hug:

We are alive. And kicking. That's pretty damn awesome as far I'm concerned.

Good Day to you Honey Love (((Venus((and Goat too)))))

I know there's a wide and airy space between my ears peopled with unicorns and fairies, but I really CAN'T read an official looking letter. The font blurs and I start to madly shuffle pieces of paper and panic sets in.

I will face the fear. I will face the fear. I will face the fear.

Frankly, going to jail would be a relief because I wouldn't have to face the fear....

12:00 in California and checking in for another 24. Busy, but good start to the week. Although I didn't stick to Weight Watchers over Thanksgiving Inmanaged to stay at the same weight, and got back on track yesterday. My goal is to lose 4-5 pounds in the next three and a half weeks, and then maintain that through New Years. I want to lose another 13-15 pounds total, although ten is probably more realistic.

Congrats to all celebrating a milestone today. Happy Tuesday to everyone else!

❤️Delilah

That is an excellent reminder. I love the feeling of first waking up and knowing when I get out of bed the only worry I have is possibly being a little tired, no headache, nausea, foggy head.

I had to deal with financial stuff as well. We currently have a 1250 a month payment, and I believe I have about three more years of that. My credit will be shot for a bit, which will affect my ability to take certain loans for my daughter's college, but I will figure that out. It was not pleasant, but felt good to figure it out.

Weaver- as VC put it- financial crap is hard. For me, I think I got myself much more wound up about taking the first step- getting help. Fear of fear. It is good you are doing positive stuff about it tho. Money is such a huge stress. The good thing about getting assistance is having the support- but also transparency.
I know one guy who got sober at 69. He is a good friend through meetings. He went from being an executive in his chosen field (and very good at it), to losing his family, home, cars- the lot. He ended up living in a shack on an isolated place on an island (connected by bridge). He owed a great deal of money- but with help, made it through. This also gave him peace of mind- thus alleviating the urge to drink.
Support to you.

Look, you're all saying facing the financial wreckage leads to peace of mind. With a bit of help. I guess it's the old "honesty, open-minded, willing" business again.

I'm sure in the past I manipulated a lot of situations and got so upset and anxious I just HAD to take a drink. Money problems seem like a good excuse to drink. Alcohol's such a liar. It promises so much, but ends up taking everything away.

Stuff that!!! I'm going in another direction with the rest of you. I love you all and wish only peace and love and safety on your souls tonight :grouphug:
