24 more of freedom please.
Feeling a bit Ho hum today or that's my excuse for not getting a great deal done at all. Days like these do happen I do not like them but I am grateful to have worked my way through it without having or wanting a drink.
I hope everyone has had a good day, congrats to milestoners and Love & best wishes to anyone having a tough time.
Much Love 24'ers, SP

Happy to report that the tears and irritation of yesterday have become today's strength. I feel much better.... more focused and resilient than ever before. I love this thread so much. I'm lucky to know some awesome people in the real world but none of them understand the addict part of me. Being able to be honest with people who understand .... that for me is the difference between not drinking and recovery.
I'm sorry to be stating the obvious.... I feel like something important happened yesterday and I'm trying to make sense of it. Yesterday, I got so low so quickly and so unexpectedly, my AV returned with a vengeance and I thought about drinking. But I didn't drink..... more than that, I knew I wouldn't drink. Even when my AV was yelling at me, I knew I would post here and go to bed sober. And when I woke this morning, everything was calm. No tears, no irritation. I felt happy. Just like I knew I would.
And that's what was so important about yesterday.... I realised I've always known what I need to do. That voice has always been there....at some point I just stopped listening to it....for many years, I literally drowned it out. But it's still there and yesterday I heard it. It was the quiet, reassuring knowledge that if I stay sober, everything will be OK.
Call it instinct, intuition or maybe it's my subconscious .... whatever it is, I'm so glad I'm listening to it again. I'm so grateful to all of you for being there and helping me reconnect with the real me. My hope is that I can help others as much as I've been helped. Congratulations to all the incredible milestoners. .... 24 more for me please xxxxx

We're all here together. We hold each other accountable.
You will save yourself with the help we get from one another.
You've been around awhile you can do this. ODAAT.
Watch out for HALT.
Glad you've come here.
