I'm still here..... hanging on...

Waking up to that emptiness that comes with an array of other emotions this morning. What screams in my head is "what am I going to do now"?... and "what am I supposed to do now"?

Yeah, #1 STAY SOBER! I get that. It's the mess I have to clean up and the fear of facing it. I quit my job (I had only for 3 weeks), I can't do massage right now due to being sooo weak....

I'm so OCD and my head just won't stop!!!! I did go to a meeting last night and raised my hand as a newcomer (usually I wont - PRIDE) and felt a sense of relief and love that baffled me because I assumed the judgement of what others think due to my lack of self esteem. Well, there was a step.

I want everything to immediately put itself back together again -- the Humpty Dumpty syndrome. I know it doesn't work that way yet I get so panicky. I'm not going to give in today and drink. I'll keep reaching out and pray things start coming together somehow.:wtf2


Day 2 --- not too easy! It took 5 days to detox this time and now just want a life!!! Frustrated and agitated big time!

Hi Nickishine:

It's so hard, but you can do this!!! Stay strong, change your routine, make it another day! I'm leaving to go out of town so won't be online until Monday. I'll look forward to hearing how you did over the weekend and let you know how I did. We are STRONG!!!
