Hi magic, how are you today?

hope3

Good morning mtnmagic, just one day at a time...

(((((((((((((mtnmagic))))))))))) hope3

mtnmagic

Thanks for your support people. Wanted to check in and let you know that after struggling the last time I posted, I have woken up to day 5 sober today.
I know that I can make it through today without a drink. That is all I can deal with, but that is more then enough in my book. Thanks for being here.

magic,
So happy to hear you're doing well! Stay strong. You can do this. Keep letting us know what's going on.

mtnmagic

Thanks livefree! Just got home from work. Made it through day five. I will wake up to day six sober. My insides actually stopped shaking today!

I'm glad you're back magic . You know how it goes... you'll feel better day by day.

Still having trouble sleeping, but in my mind that is a very small price to pay for my series of relapses over the last couple of months. I got about 4 hours sleep and the anxiety is certainly at a manageable level. I know that I have to face myself, my shame, guilt, worries and fears in order to maintain a life of recovery. All of that seems to be too much right now, so I will focus on staying sober for today and doing things that are right in front of me. You know like going to work, getting home and not picking up a drink in between.

mtnmagic

Still sober. Came home from work and got on line to read. A little extra support before bedtime you know? It works! Went to bed and woke up sober again one more day. This I can do!

congrats mtn -- keep it going!!!


Just wanted to add my "feel good" this morning:
I had a busy day at work and was feeling good on the drive home (the sun was going down real pretty in my back window) I thought 2 or 3 times about stopping for some beer (which is something I do a lot of times whether I have a good or bad day)
and right before I got to my supplier (drive thru window on my way home) I pushed the thought outta my mind and went right by.
I came home and got some reading time in before bed.

You are so right mtn! That not having the drink in between work and home does feel good!!

mtnmagic

Thanks all that responded. OK, A new day, Saturday. It may be tough but I know I can do it. Especially with all of you staying sober, just for today.

Hi mtnmagic, just had the best spring day

with sunshine and tempts at 70 +.

Hows it going in your mountainess world?

Just thinking of ya, hope3

mtnmagic

Good hope3. I appreciate you keeping track of me. It helps. Just got off work and came straight home. Drove right by any temptations and am relieved to have achieved one more day.

It is very cold here. In fact, it started snowing again on my way home. This mountain lady is ready for Spring!
