You are all miracles
 

It's my monthly review time (I just decided this and will make it a habit now). I have been reading my posts from September, including my complacent posts, my woohoo I'm never drinking again posts, followed immediately by a drunken post, lol, my regretful relapse and those first few weeks.
I was straight up nasty!!! And angry!!!! You are all miracles because a lot of you are still here, a lot of you still talk to me, and all of you have gone through very similar mood swings and are so positive and uplifting.
There were some first responders, Dee, SoberWolf, too many to list. And so many others...I would be here all day if I started listing names now.
Thank you.
Thank you for helping me get my life back.
I don't think there is a soul on this earth that can quite understand the insanity of early recovery quite like those that have already walked through it. I really am shocked by my little temper I had just over 2 months ago. I am grateful yet surprised you all still talk to me. Thank you for doing that. ((Hugs))

You are the miracle! It's wonderful that you have dedicated yourself to your own sobriety, I am SOOOOO proud of you!

Gosh..has it already been 2 months since you joined the crew? Time flies :wink3:

You have so much to offer..here...and in life I think.

Lol, I was all kinds of crazy in the early days.






Still am.

Glad you are here. I relate so much to your post.

I know nuudawn, both of you were also first responders if I remember correctly. I think nuudawn told me something along the lines of "never say I'm never going to drink again" and it pissed me off. The next day I relapsed. Lol!
Yeah but Jen knows best right?
I can only laugh.
I'm just going to sit quietly in the back seat now and pay attention.

Jennifer

I am just glad it is starting to level out

Jennifer

No need to sit at the back of the bus, we have plenty of room!

Thanks pat man!

Jennifer

My sponsor continually tells me to...*be of service* and *be a part of...*

I'm glad your a *part of* SR countrygirl2014. :grouphug:

Great work on your recovery. Keep it going!

Thank you countrygirl for being here and adding to the conversations about recovery.
So glad you're taking your life back.:grouphug:

Good work CG :)

It's a mutt of a thing this "alcoholism ".

If I can offer some advice. They are getting fewer and further between.... But I still have days when by 10am, I know that the day is going to be a bit of a "write off".

I just keep my mouth shut and think "c'mon midnight!!!! "

And by the time I get out of bed the next morning... It's cleared up remarkably well.

2 months is awesome... Keep on task :)

Good to see you!! Early days are tough- we look back and it's like we were someone else!

Thanks for coming by and saying how you are- I often wonder about people and it's nice to see positive changes.

Awesome post Countrygirl well done on 2 months sober that is fantastic news

Congrats on 2 months :)

D

Way to go, countrygirl; congratulations on two months. :You_Rock_

Great post! You are awesome!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

congrats on 2 months countygirl! That is wonderful!!

You rock, Jen! Way to get it. :)

Good for you CG! Keep the posts coming! Many of us were basket cases when we first arrived on the scene....but with time and experience, we all have the ability to achieve manageable and peaceful lives. I think you're on the right track, most definitely. Keep moving forward and we look forward to all of your insight and posts as you gain momentum on your journey!

Congrats on 2 months!

Great post! Congrats on two months! I hated the universe when I first quit and it has (mostly:)) leveled out. Keep going!

It's kind of exciting. I have a lot of nasty background stuff that I am going to have to deal with soon. This I know. I can look all the way back to childhood and identify when my thinking soured. I can even see I took the easy way out of feelings all through my life. It's only a matter of time before my brain heals and starts to mature again...like a normal person. My biggest fear is my daughter turns into what I have become. I thank God for a good memory and believe I have identified the problem for me.

Jennifer

Hey Jennifer, I can't believe it two months already! :)

Be proud :grouphug:

Think everyone here is really proud of you.

Think we all come to that humility at some point- I know I've been very self- centred, still working on it lol x

Life is certainly much better. I am so happy for you, keep it going. Thank you for inspiring me today.

Hey Janie!

74 days to be exact. Craziness. I know now, and only now, what everyone meant by one day at a time. I have an app to keep track cuz I just don't count the days. They just, well, happen. It's so simple. Oh, there is another saying that makes sense now. Keep it simple. Lol...duhhhhh

Jennifer

Wow, time flies! You have come so far!! I've read many of your posts and how strong you are, very inspirational! Thank you
Stay strong

Glad you're here!
Keep coming back!

A single strand is weak, together we make an unbreakable rope!!!!
