Shotgun!!! I've been wanting to do that since I joined SR. Happy days Have a good one people, here's to 24 of the best, sober hours |
Not to dampen your excitement, Be, but we don't usually shotgun in this thread. The important thing in this thread is posting - not who posts first :) D |
My excitement IS dampened!! Oh well, I have a life goal still in my own class |
Thanks Dee :) Thanks Suze and Badger ❤️ It’s been a crazy roller coaster journey since I stopped drinking in May. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it through the silly season without drinking, but having lost Mum and Dad I couldn’t bear the thought of letting them down. I feel I owed it to them, to stay sober and present, for this first Christmas without them, (especially to Mum who waited till my monumental day 100 before heading off on her journey to Heaven). I’m not usually a church goer, but I took great comfort in going to church on Christmas morning and lighting candles for them both. I felt closer to them being sober than I could have if I’d been drinking. And I’m so glad to start the New Year sober. Now that I’m home I can fully see how challenging these last weeks, actually months have been. But I feel I’ve turned a corner. I still miss them like crazy and my life will never be the same, but I’m so grateful that I’m doing it sober. It doesn’t seem like sobriety is s burden, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out. I have more clarity, even though it is swathed in moments of stark sadness. I have occasional moments of lightness, especially when surrounded by nature. They are fleeting, but by seeking out nature, I intend to bring those moments into my life more often. I will get there. One day at a time. Thank you all here on SR for being here ❤️❤️❤️ |

But I'm in for another 24. I do believe it will get better. Sending so much love. :hug: ♥♥ (PS....It is so cool that Nick taught me how to quote a post from a closed thread....Lillian darling, this is one of the benefits we were talking about.... :)). |
♥♥♥ Awake honey.....I am sending a huge apology....I have lost your date....and anyone else whose sobriety date I don't have or I have wrong.....please yell out. :) ♥♥♥ |
I have occasional moments of lightness, especially when surrounded by nature. They are fleeting, but by seeking out nature, I intend to bring those moments into my life more often. I so agree with this Willow! Mother Nature has all the answers for me I have found. Venus- you have been on my mind and in my heart so much these past few days. I do hope you are taking time for yourself, it is okay and important to put yourself first, be selfish in your time. :Valdog: Badge |
24 more please. |
