We are guaranteed experiences that are absolutely right for us today. We are progressing on schedule. Even when our personal hopes are unmet, we are given the necessary opportunities for achieving those goals that complement our unique destinies.
Today is full of special surprises, and we will be the recipient of the ones which are sent to help us grow - in all the ways necessary for our continued recovery. We might not consider every experience a gift at this time. But hindsight will offer the clarity lacking at the moment, just as it has done in many instances that have gone before.
We are only offered part of our personal drama each day. But we can trust our lives to have many scenes, many acts, points of climax, and a conclusion. Each of us tells a story with our lives, one different from all other stories and yet necessary to the telling of many other stories too. The days ahead will help us tell our story. Our interactions with others will influence our outcomes and theirs. We can trust the drama and give fully to our roles.
Every day is a gift exchange. I give, and I will receive.

Both of my parents are gone now.
I know it's cold, well, not sure how cold it is where you are, but if it's too cold to walk or run, maybe the gym appeals to you? I know, you have heard all of this before....but getting those endorphins moving helps me a great deal.
And Vit D3....I am used to massive amounts of sunshine.
Is there something you have wanted to do for a while but haven't been able to? Maybe that...
Sober is the only way for me....sure, sometimes feeling the feelings is HARD, but I get to grow from the pain. Instead of drowning in it.
We love you....we have your back.
Huge hugs. ♥

But.....your post got my attention. I just wanted to let you know that it DOES GET BETTER, it DOES GET EASIER!!!!
It is a struggle in the beginning to change our lifestyle, to stop reaching for our old habit to get us through, to HEAL, to find a NEW way of living, to enjoy life on its own terms! But through TIME you will find, before you knew it was happening, that this got easier or that got easier, or that maybe one hour or one day passed without thinking of drinking. TIME HEALS ALL!
Trust me when I say that I had my share of alcohol and a few others shares too for many many years! My plans revolved around it, always!
A year ago I decided I had enough! I decided to give it up! I had zero faith that I could or would see it through! I drove to the liquor store a few times but I sat in my truck and posted on SR and someone was ALWAYS right there to talk me down.
I don't have a long time sober but I am 367 days more SOBER than I ever thought I could be AND TOMORROW I WILL BE 368.
You can too. You are WORTH IT, we ALL are WORTH IT!
24 hours at a time and be proud of every DAY!
Not saying it is EASY. Some of the BEST things in life (most of them actually) do not come EASY!
You can do it, it WILL get BETTER!
