Hi. my 1st post
I'm 5 months clean, scared to death!! I've been very irritable lately. I just don't have the hope or willingness I had at one time. I live in a very rural community and only get to 1or2 meetings a WK.i I know I have to find it, I KNOW it's life or death. I haven't wanted to use, yet. I'm afraid if I keep feeling this way I will! Need all the help I can get here!!

Five months clean is quite good Leah.
One day at a time is the way to go, and look on the really bad days as massive challenges.
Not always too easy, but the bigger the challenge met, the bigger the sense of gratification down the track.

Welcome Leah. In my opinion, a person's sobriety depends on willingness but also on faith and action. That's why the unity, service, recovery thing is sometimes mentioned. I'm sure you've heard it seen it around if you do meetings, especially AA. I was pregnant most of my first year sober and I came here almost everyday. I had a home group meeting and one other book study I went to once per week but I couldn't do much more for a while. I did end up getting involved in an H&I (hospitals and institutions) commitment that was just once per month. We took a meeting to the women in the prison. It turned out to be very rewarding. I also had a sponsor and did steps but I did them at my own pace and that has worked for a year! That doesn't mean you have to do all that, in just sharing that I was able to make it quite a while. You can too!
