Today is a new day. Forget yesterday and move forward with your sobriety.
You are better then the bottle.

You are worthy of recovery.
You deserve wellness.
You are not alone
and you do not need to recover alone.

I am not sure I have a lot of wisdom.

But I will say welcome anyway.

Thank you - I like that saying...I realize that much of my drinking is based on resentments and I've found forums on that too...I just want to keep open and honest and this forum will help...

thank you!

Hi Alexis....like many I'm a serial quitter too. My body and soul feels battered...we have to learn to say no to that first drink, there can be no negotiation, tell that part of yourself No and get busy! You can do it!

You are so worth it.

Hi Alexis

whatever you where doing for your recovery, think about what you can add now, right away, this time.

Do you have any ideas?

the anniversary of my mother's death is in a few days....I have been going to AA meetings but have been drinking. I need to tell on myself so here I am! I do not want to go on drinking anymore - I have no reason to drink - I was my mother's executrix of her will and it was horrible dealing with the sisters (well only half of them). It is done now - I should have no more excuses but I know the resentments are "embedded".....I need to know that my worth is not dependant on the behavior of others....Thank you for the kick...

I don't know how much wisdom I have but just to know your not alone is always a big help to me. You can do it,one day at a time . That's the wisest piece of advice I can give you,you only have to do one day at a time,yesterday's gone and tomorrow's not here yet..it will get better,you will the the results with each day that passes...best of luck to you on your sober journey!!!!!

I'm sorry for your loss.

Do you have anyone at AA you can talk to about this?
