24Hour Recovery Connections Part 364
This has been a really, really hard day. I went to the shop and ended up buying non-alcoholic beer. It was the best I could do.
I know something important is happening to me but it's incredibly painful. I'm really started to understand how low my self-esteem/worth is. I knew before but now I KNOW. It's interwoven into the fabric of my thinking.
I thought I was alright as I don't call myself names, I know I'm good at my job and a good wife. But these are concious thoughts. It's the unconcious beliefs, the terror at making mistakes and being rejected. I had two amazing days then was flooded with it. It's taken my breath away and I feel devasted for myself. But I know I need to feel it. Not numb it.
I'm sorry for all this and not even being able to respond to anyone just now. I needed to get it out. I came really close to losing it today. Gabe xx

About 5:40am in my world, and ready for another 24 hours of sober living. Stayed up a little too late last night - hoping for a quick nap at some point to help make it through the day!
Be good everyone.
Be good everyone.
Aging has some advantages Erf. Like when people offer you a seat on the tram. I dont like that either though, especially when I'm headed for the gym. We can grow old gracefully (dont like that word much) and continue to grow in wisdom. Especially, we can remain sober...
.. and, hey, who knows what lies around the corner.
51 isn't old, even 76 ain't old!
