Day One again for me this morning. But the good news is that I now seem to be able to go almost 5 days without drinking the past two weeks which is a great improvement over the past 3 or 4 months.
So my intent of the day is to not only not drink today but to not run away and hide from SR. I have been thinking about shame and how much control I have given to it for most of my life. Shame kept me from admitting that I have had problems - not just alcohol - and kept me from persisting with trying to get help. And it actually was a motivating force when I was sober for so many years - I was so ashamed of my drinking behavior that my main motivation for not drinking was to not let people see "that I was a bad person because I couldn't drink normally". Sorry for rambling here - just trying to work through a mix of emotions and thoughts.

In the community I grew up in....it's OK to say I guess....I'm Jewish. And Australian....and hey, those two things do not go with alcoholic. Not a chance. There are not any Jewish Australian alcoholics....that is what I was told.....errr......I have met a few in the rooms. Here of course it is different, far more Jewish people, but I spent so many years ashamed. Deeply ashamed. My mother told me I should be.
I didn't know she was wrong.
Damn lyddie love....it's not fair we have had to feel ashamed for so long. This dang disease is enough to deal with.
Love that you are talking....so glad that you are here. Onwards honey, together. ♥♥♥♥
