24Hour Recovery Connections Part 354
Three kids (adults, but very, very young adults).
We are among the exceedingly blessed.
Good morning everyone. Its 9.20am here in the UK. Snowing on the ground, snow falling, and more snow to come. Oh dear. I was supposed to collect my dog from my ex today but can't go because of said weather. Am facing a long day, a day I would have loved 2 months ago. Stay in and drink. But I did that every day no matter what the weather. I am not craving but am missing the excuse, the excuse to do nothing. The weather provides that excuse. I need to make a plan for the today. Firstly please count me in for another 24 hours sober.
Snow days were always a BIG day for me, too. It sickens me to think of it now. Ugh.
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

Someone mentioned the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam the other day and I thought of you.
Do you have any IRL support?
Stay very close. That, itself, could be your Magic!

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.
