Another 24 hours sober please. |
Morning all. In for another 24 in snowy North Yorkshire. |
24 for me please. 13.28pm. Congratulations to all our milestoners today 💓 |
24 more for me at 8:35am. Congrats to today's milestoners! Have a great day all! |
24 more please. |
Back to day 2, sigh. But I am forcing myself to keep trying. I need to stick close around the 2 week mark because that is what o keep screwing up this year. 24 more pretty please. |
I will not drink today. |
I’m old and tired 24 more is freedom from alcohol freedom from drugs and freedom from self Being alone and feeling vulnerable. Like two separate themes, these two parts of myself unite in my being and sow the seeds of my longing for unconditional love. —Mary Casey How easily we slip into self-doubt, fearing we're incapable or unlovable, perhaps both. How common for us to look into the faces of our friends and lovers in search of affirmation and love. Our alienation from ourselves, from one another, from God's Spirit which exists everywhere causes our discontent. It is our discontent. When souls touch, love is born, love of self and love of the other. Our aloneness exists when we create barriers that keep us separate from our friends, our family. Only we can reach over or around the barriers to offer love, to receive love. Recovery offers us the tools for loving, but we must dare to pick them up. Listening to others and sharing ourselves begins the process of loving. Risking to offer love before receiving it will free us from the continual search for love in the faces of others. I won't wait to be loved today. I will love someone else, fully. I won't doubt that I, too, am loved. I will feel it. I will find unconditional love. |

I never had a couple of glasses or a couple of drinks in my life. So we learn that our heads are going to lie to us and we find strategies to deal. And you are, and you will keep building more. You have been through the toughest thing we go through (I believe)...and the pain will keep rushing up at you for a while. Lean on us....hard. We really love you. :hug: ♥♥ |

10.56 here in London. I'm back, and I am on Day 3. I'm not really sure what happened, but it happened. I don't feel ashamed, but I do feel embarrassed. I have been on (and off) S.R. since 2014, and that is something I need to think about. Why I've achieved a lot of sober time, but not yet made it stick. I nned to think about what I can do different this time. What I do know, is that I started to feel myself drift. I suppose I had doubts but I didn't voice them on the forum. I remember Kris saying to be careful. But I didn't heed that. Anyway, I'm back in the saddle and I'm taking it seriously. In for 24 Hope everyone is good All I know for sure is that I tried to, wanted to get sober for many years. I really did not think it was possible at all, ever. Today is 3 years and 4 months. This is not my miracle: this is OUR miracle. I am the product of coming here every single day, no matter what. Love you Jack and we are all here for you. Onward my friend. :hug: ♥♥ |

To me recovery is like driving a car Jack - if you let it wander you'll end up in a ditch. Apathy or ambivalence - is a big part of this condition. You have to fight it. I'd relapsed so many times it got so that staying in recovery became so important to me I was prepared to do whatever it took to stay there. You'll get there - but only if you fight for it :) D |
It sure is Venus :) Happy Soberversary to you as well :hug: |
