~~~~ & the longer the better. Slips and urges got me thinking.While it is great to have heaps of sober time , day 1 of a slip is pretty rotten-----------hence I came up with D.O.P.E. Day one practising imbecile, a day and title I never wish to exclaim.

Had a good Fourth here despite the war zone going on outside.....is it always that obnoxious? I think it may have been my first sober July 4 since I don't remember the previous ones.....I was probably always passed out by that point! I'll take 24 more please

Good morning all. I am back with my tail between my legs to ask if you will have me back.
I have not had a drink but everything else has disintegrated around me and my mental health is at its worst as a sober person. I feel like it is only a matter of time before I cave in.
I am home alone right now and it is seriously like the first few days again. Clock watching and fighting every fibre in my body not to drink. How can that be? Has anybody else had acute cravings out of no-where with good sober time behind them?
The trigger to my latest meltdown is a situation with my ex-husband where I have had to go to him to ask for money for my daughter's brace and he has done his usual thing by making me wait for 3 weeks for a concrete reply and even with the reply it is basically a "no" hidden in a cleverly worded email to make it sound like I am being unreasonable asking. This has literally driven me insane.
If I were well I could shake it off and see it for what it is. I am not well. This has sent me into flip-out crazy mode.
I'm babbling. Sorry.
I am going to go and walk the dog and I have a doctors appointment at 12.
Please let me get through today sober. I'm just so angry and frightened and down. 24 please xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We are not having you back girl, because we never let you go.....we all miss you and think about you every day. Now we can help you honey.
sNo matter where we are on this journey, hard stuff in life can be a huge trigger...we need support to get through this stuff. Everyone does I think.
Just love. And more love. And more hugs.
