Thanks, every one! I talked with my sponsor, and she agreed with what all of you said, that I'm not going to be perfect every day, and not to be so hard on myself. She thinks I'm doing great, especially considering all the things I'm giving up: drugs (I counted, it's like 5 different kinds), alcohol, and all my old friends I ever used with. She said that's quite enough for now - and not to try to give up anything else for the time being.

One meeting and one phone call as well as staying sober sounds like you did very good to me!

Focus on the good and the day to day improvement. Keep looking to the stars! Regret is no way to go through your day

Good job on staying sober today!

^^^^^ This.

You checked the most important thing off your list.. You stayed clean and sober. Mission accomplished.

I figure every night I crawl into bed sober is a GREAT day and I am soooo grateful for that feeling. Keep on doing what you're doing.

Elena, don't let yourself be judged by someone else's expectations. You're doing great and you are sober. That's what's important. It makes me sad that you feel you didn't do enough. I'm sure you did what you could.
