Congratulations to anyone hitting a milestone today!24 more clean and sober hours please and thank you all for being here today and have a great sober day!

Keeping myself as a priority so it's turning out better than if I was drinking, when I'd likely prioritize other people's desires over mine. But it's still an odd feeling. At times it's almost like I don't know what to do with myself.

I'm sure this is directly connected to some not so great memories creeping in now that I'm gaining some traction in sobriety. Ugh, the things I've done. It's tough getting real with myself and the choices I made. Sometimes I feel like I missed out on my own life because I was too busy drinking. Trying to not let that depress me. And I have a mountain (or two) of guilt around stuff I did while drunk. Since I'm not sure what to do with these thoughts, I'm kind of stuffing them to the side and moving through my day, but without booze they're harder to ignore.

Anyway, thanks for being an outlet for these thoughts of mine. I appreciate this place of support, it's getting me through and tomorrow marks 4 weeks for me. Couldn't do it without SR!

24 more

Your daily truth from Brave Living...
Dear Perfectly Imperfect Soul,

Of all of the difficult things that we must learn to do in this world, in this life....forgiving ourselves is so often one of the very most difficult.

How can we expect to move forward in joy, to grow into who we are meant to become, or to restore the parts of ourselves that feel lost if we are stuck beating ourselves up?

Whether it was a bad decision, a broken relationship, a very personal struggle or addiction that seems to just keep coming back....a regret, or something that feels like it's too late to fix....no matter WHAT it is....we must choose to forgive ourselves EVERY SINGLE DAY... because we are human beings, and we will always make mistakes.

We must forgive ourselves for not living up to our own expectations. We must stop expecting too much of ourselves, too. We must congratulate ourselves for the small and big victories we make every day. We must stop looking back, because there is nothing we can do about the past....only about today...and tomorrow. We must move forward in kindness....to ourselves.

None of us will EVER be perfect. Every one of us will make mistakes....even when we are doing our very best.

It's time to forgive yourself.

YOU are loved.

xoxo

Haven't looked at my Quit APP for a long time (I looked at it everyday in the beginning). I suppose that is a good thing as SOBRIETY has become more of a normal thing for me. It still feels liberating to not have to plan my every move over whether/how I will be drinking and how I will get home etc......

Thank you SR Friends as you ALL were a big help!

440 DAYS today and working on 441................

Can I have another 24 more for this crazy alcoholic soul.
For those struggling it will past hugs and those having a great day enjoy it and be grateful.

Thought for the Day


Alcohol is poison to the alcoholic. Poison is not too strong a word, because alcoholism leads eventually to the death of the alcoholic. It may be a quick death or a slow death. When we go by package stores and see various kinds of liquor all dressed up in fancy packages to make it look attractive, we should always make it a point to say to ourselves so we'll never forget it: "That stuff's all poison to me." And it is. Alcohol poisoned our lives for a long time. Do I know that since I'm an alcoholic all liquor is poison to me?
