Love me some Eagles, & didn't know Joe had a problem...it always helps to hear others admit to having our disease. Thanks for posting that!

cmhcali 08-04-2008 05:05 AM

Good Morning fresh start to day 49!!!

Started doing my 4th step writing... Funny I was afraid I could not get 75 names on my resentment list. I surpassed that in a half hour. Just shows with the love and help of god!!! I will learn to live a better life and someday be able to help others in my current situation this is a beautiful thing..

stone 08-04-2008 05:24 AM

Having motivational issues today, lol. Didn't sleep well. I might just cancel this afternoon and go to yoga tonight.

More than 75 names in half an hour! http://home.no.net/birgif/glis/18.gif

Woke up feeling happy to be starting day 22!! Staying sober is beginning to be a habit!

cmhcali 08-04-2008 07:34 AM

Least congrats on 22 days.

Stone - yeah I was surprised 2. I thought my list would have no more than 20 however once I said that 3rd step prayer. Names were flying through my head... I guess I have a lot of issues....

Toomutch 08-04-2008 07:48 AM

Congratulations on another day everyone :)

I have seen Joe Walsh in concert at Red Rocks - He rocks! :nanarock

sobergirl77 08-04-2008 09:14 AM

On Day 22 here as well... and for the first time, I actually slept through the night! It was a bit hard falling asleep, but once I did, I slept until the alarm went off at 7:45am this morning.

I may have mentioned this in another thread, but I started taking B vitamins last week and I believe they are responsible for making me feel better... I almost feel "normal" again. I'm also exercising daily and eating a lot of fruits and veggies.

The desire to drink has left me for the time being. Friday it plagued me all day long no matter what I did, but the past 2 days have been amazing. I hope it lasts!

It's a great day to be sober!

rurdy2rk 08-04-2008 09:21 AM

Keep it up Sobergirl :bounce

IkeClancy 08-04-2008 10:23 AM

Day 13 for me! My lucky number. Going to a meeting tonight and I slept pretty well, still having wierd dreams, but resting. Feels good to make it through two weekends without getting drunk.

cmhcali 08-04-2008 10:43 AM

Day 49 is proving to be a tough one. I need to stay focused and not let my disease get to me. It is not the drinking I am afraid of it is my mind, the pain, the fear that consumes me and paralyzes me :(

I am glad everyone is doing so well your support will help me through this.

rurdy2rk 08-04-2008 11:00 AM

cmhcali,

The mind is a strange thing (I know what you are talking about). My mind is "all over the place". It's just the disease trying to trick you. Hang in there - you are NOT alone

Tom

cmhcali 08-04-2008 12:30 PM

I wish I could trick the disease for a while LOL....

Time2Surrender 08-04-2008 01:50 PM

Wow, you guys rock. Im so proud of everyone here. Day 23 for Mikey. I been away from SR the last few days. Had to stop by this afternoon.

I would worry more about it trying to trick you. I hear at meetings...... "While your sitting here at this meeting your disease is out in the parking lot doing push-ups" Thats a fact. So, all I know is to do my own push-ups through step work. Funny thing... I came her to post about motivation and saw Stones post. This can be for step work or the gym or whatever is a part of your recovery. Heres what happened to me today. Im having a rough day. I take the afternoon off. On the way home a friend calls to see how Im doing. I told him not good. He asked if I still had my 23 days? I said yes. He asked if he was going to be able to watch me get a 30 day coin next week? I said yes. So, then we talked a little and he asked about my sponsor while I was using? I said I broke his heart while I was using and many other peoples too. Nothing he could do. I said its like watching someone die of Cancer. What can you do? By now, I was in my driveway and going into my house while still talking to him. I had my afternoon planned. I went into the bedroom grabbed a pillow and the remote and tossed them on the couch. Oh yeah, Mikey had his afternoon planned. Then he said something. "Wouldnt it be something if a person dying of Cancer could just simply work 12 steps and their Cancer would go into remenission? " Wake up call!!! I just stood there on the phone staring at the couch and the remote. It hit me like a ton of bricks. And this is coming from a newcomer with less time than me. Needless to say, as soon as I log off here, the TV, the phone and everything else will be turned off. I will complete my 4th step today. Those are my push-ups. ;)

sobergirl77 08-04-2008 02:14 PM

Time2Surrender, I found doing a 4th step totally cleansed me. It's such a relief to get all that mess down on paper and to share it with another person. At this current time I can honestly say I have no resentments, and when I develop one now (which is rare these days!) I immediately begin praying for the person, and the resentment goes away within a day or two.

cmhcali, hang in there! :ghug3

toooldfratguy 08-04-2008 02:15 PM

Hey y'all -
Still with you, just WAY busy at work and then my wife and I took a nice little trip to the mountains. It was great to wake up both mornings feeling good and waking up early so we could enjoy our time there. Didn't want anyone to think I'd "checked out"/fallen off the wagon!
