Day 6
 

I was just reading through my posts from nov/dec of last year, trying to recognize when the slip started (because for me the slip started long before I actually picked up a drink). At about 4 weeks sobriety I started a thread that was negative and pity-filled and angry-at-the-world. I didn't actually drink for another couple weeks after that, but that was my last thread on here. Not sure exactly what date I checked out of SR, but it wasn't long after that I started drinking again.

So whether I feel I have something helpful to post or not, I know that I will post ... daily. You all might get really sick of hearing from me, but I'll be doing it ... for the sake of my sobriety.

Onward ...

Great Job on Day 6 Holly!! Keep pushing through!! :scoregood

I never get tired of reading people's posts. I have to remind myself some days that I cannot pick up a drink even though my mind is telling me I will be fine drinking. I have to keep remembering the guilt and the lying and the sneaking around that goes with my drinking.

I finally had that heart-to-heart talk with my youngest son and he was very supportive. I told him that I wasn't making any promises and that I can't go back and undo the mistakes I've made as his mom, but I am doing what I can do for today. It was a teary moment and I got the biggest hug from him when he left ... almost like he didn't want to let go (I know I didn't!)

Another great sober moment ... :)

Ah, Holly, that's a huge step forward and I'm so pleased that your son was supportive - I could almost feel that hug from here! :)

And, yes, please post away - it's the gift that keeps on giving :)

We a relentless at helping! Keep posting as much as you need !

Proud of you Holly! :hug:

I think that's a very good way to go Hokey :)

Great work, Hokey. Again, I'm so glad you're back and doing well. What a cool moment with your son. Hold on to those-moments and kids!
