If you're struggling, making some changes in your life for a while can help - maybe it's best to leave the bars alone until you feel secure again? D Looks like you haven't been around for a while, I wonder why. This thread serves me as a reminder of what not to do and where not to go! |
Awesome work! The fact that you turned away means all the feelings of worthlessness are undeserved! Feel awesome, you deserve it. :a122: |
Am I in the twilight zone or has no one else noticed Estevaun had ONE post, back in January? |
I found some inspiration in this post. I'm only 6 days sober, but it still helped me. I also found upon voting that if I'm truly honest, I drank out of boredom! What the heck. Time to find some new hobbies! |
This is a poll? Where is the option for "none"? |

Congratulations on a year sober! :scoregood Being around it/people using it I don’t put myself in situations that I feel would threaten my sobriety. Songs No triggers here. In fact some songs that I love now have a new meaning for me. I look at many of the lyrics differently today. Stress/Anxiety This one can get to me now and then. Stress is not a trigger but more of a reminder that I am trying to control and that leads to stress and frustrations. I have to let it go. Boredom I don’t remember the last time I was bored. I work 40 hours a week, I go to an AA meeting four to five days a week, I have shopping, laundry, cleaning to do on the weekends. I don’t really have to time to be bored. I find it harder to find time to do nothing…lol

Jimmy Buffet, on the other hand, helped me a great deal just a couple days ago... Wasted away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, But I know, it's my own damn fault. Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame And I know it's my own damn fault. |

Stay away from George Thoroughgood. They don't call them the Destroyers for nothing, lol. I did that for many years. When life didn't go the way I wanted, I drank. Of course life didn't go the way I wanted every single day for 25 years...lol The Eagles – Desperado, “you better let somebody love you” The Eagles – Already Gone, “So many times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key” Otis Redding – Sitting on the dock of the Bay, “I can't do what ten people tell me to do, So I guess I'll remain the same” Bob Seger - Still the Same. This whole song was me. I was a runner and I ran every single time. Relationship to relationship. Faking and bluffing. I always thought I came out on top. I never knew how much I actually lost each time. I can say now that I am not still the same but I was for many, many years. |
