Failed on day 3. Back to the beginning...again.

I'm going to visit my granddaughters today and catch a soccer game or two tonight. Since my trigger is wanting to nap, I will be ok today.

Committing to 24 hours of sober.

So that's two full sober days....and one not so sober day....you can do this: you are not failing love.

You are identifying your triggers.....now, that one resonates very deeply with me. And I don't think we have ever really talked about it here before.

When I was trying to get sober (before I joined SR), I would get one-three days over and over and then bust. And napping was my trigger. Because I would fall asleep so deeply (I never had any decent sleep at night) and then I would wake up terrified. The way you feel when you come out of a bad nightmare. And every time this happened, my desperation to get to the bottle shop was huge. Out of control.

So I did what you are doing today...I made plans that made it impossible for me to have a nap that day, and it helped.

Once I got sober, naps became my best friend....I don't wake up afraid anymore.

We just keep putting more tools in our sobriety toolbox until it is so full that we can handle any situation without drinking. And you are doing that.

Hope you have a good day to day dear Optimist.

♥♥

(((Optimist))); lean on us. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you can achieve permanent sobriety.

Count me in, please.

Lots of love to all.

I love this analogy so much Venus, thanks for sharing

one to remember for us all. Every difficult situation is a new challenge to learn from. I’ve had a lot this past 2 weeks, but now I can think of them as a few new tools in the box for next time.
