Peke, honey, IF you did anything wrong, you did it when you were drunk. That is not us. That is some strange reptilian alter-ego that only comes out if we are blitzed. And we have to face up to the consequences when we are sober. And that just sucks. It HURTS. But running away isn't the answer. Keep moving forward is the answer. We all did things we were ashamed of and we get over them by sharing them and feeling heard.
Onward together.

Suze is right in that while we have to take responsibility for things we said or did drunk, that is not the true us. Its a corrupted version.
If it was the true us, we'd be sending nasty emails and whatever on a daily basis.
The other thing is - you don't know why she hasn't got back to you PL. There must be any number of reasons why she hasn't without jumping straight to 'I suck'
I assume you had to arrange this run somehow? she'd have said something then if there was a problem?

Day 5
Stay strong PL. Dee is right there are many reasons she may not have gotten back to you yet. I'm told that in early recovery our brain chemistry is all over the place so it's best not to believe that everything we think or feel is actually true. I find camomile tea helps me in these kind of situations. Hope you get a good nights sleep.
VC, thanks I will definitely check out the video.
Lixie, congrats on getting through it and going to bed sober.
Going to try and get to the gym today.
Stay strong everyone.

Hi everyone.
I haven't been on SR for quite a while. I quit drinking on October 24, 2019 and thought I had it licked. I stayed sober for over two and half years, but then the AV came back and I gave into the thought that I could have a couple and be okay. I have no idea why I thought that or why I acted on it after everything I went through to get sober. SR helped me before, so I am back to recommit to my sobriety. I'm not going to change my start date, but I know it will be minus a few days.
Life is definitely better sober!

Hi MC, welcome back!
Day 5, and today my dad will learn if he has cancer. There's a huge lump in my stomach and when my partner and I went grocery shopping earlier she stopped by the beer isle and said "today is a state of emergency, today doesn't count". But it does count for me, my sobriety is very fragile and I don't want to drink today, no matter what. So we bought cake instead.
Wish you all a great day!

I'm afraid it's bad news. ( He is so afraid of dying, that he has basically stopped living. His worst fears have been confirmed, and he is ready to lie down and give up. It is so sad, he is just 74 and I wish he could fight instead of giving up. Poor mom.
