Today, although I sometimes don't struggle as much, is one of those days that I have to just remind myself that I can get through situations without using and drinking. I know in my heart that I can no matter how I am feeling at this very moment, I know this feeling will not last forever.

Just For Today .. One Day At A Time

We will Survive!~~~

Feelings do not define us. They have no power over us, unless we allow it. Stay strong, tomorrow's a new day

You've made great progress in the time I've known you Vic, though I know there have been some ups and downs and hard things to deal with. It does pass and I think each time you let it, you become more skilled at it and gain something more.

Hi Vic,
Remember when you felt really great and it passed same happens when you feel really bad.
Hang in there

Thanks everyone it didn't last that long!~~~

I remember how them things lasted sometimes for weeks. Glad it slows down as long as I don't get in the way of things...

Really? Ca-mon......

I had some faaaabulous days when I was drinking. (not all of them, obviously ) and I've had some reeeeally crappy days in sobriety. I'd don't think I'd trade a good drunk day for a bad sober day right now......but I can't get with that one-liner.

The deal now though is that I've got a set of sober-tools to use to get through those rough times....and when I'm connected, and sober, and not living my life for my eternal gratification........i've got a pretty darn good chance of getting out of those rough patches without getting too bloody and I can get right back to the business of growing again.

That is just a expression that people in AA use a lot, I personally never believed it to be really honest, I used to say it when I felt I had to fit in. That was my problem in the first place I always had to feel as if I belonged...
