Just a Note to let you know
 
I'm here and I'm doing ok. 97 days sober.
I've had ups and downs.
This emotional rollercoaster keeps going.
Shouldn't it be slowing by now?
Ah, But I was told to hold on for the ride of my life..
What a ride it has been!

Even the low points of my sobriety are NOTHING compared
to being in active addiction.

I can get through anything as long as I don't pick up a drink or drug. :)

I've got over 2 1/2 years Hope, and there are still days when I take a ride on the e-coaster, but rest assured that it does get better. Most days I look forward to the ride cuz it's so much fun being clean and sober!

Thanks for letting us know how you're doing, Cheryl, and I'm so glad you're hanging on to your precious sobriety through all the turmoil. It's hard work!

Very very proud of you (((Cheryl)))

Thanks so much for the support. I love you guys.
It has not been easy especially the last few weeks.
It has almost felt like it was easier to give up.

But somewhere in the midst of the turmoil in my life, I am starting to feel hope again.
That is a blessing.

The rooms are full of Experience Strength and Hope which I draw upon with every meeting and contribute what I have to offer of my ESH.

Hope it gets better with time, the steps have been a God Send to me.

Life is a ride. A journey. We all are on our own paths, and I have no idea why there have to be such highs and lows, but it is the lows I learn from.

AND I learn from you, thanks for posting. How are the details coming: small progress each day with all that stuff you posted when you were so down?

I am happy today is a good day,
Jhana
