Starting over
I have been on this site for years, and in and out of sobriety. I wanted to change my user name before coming back because of my chronic relapse patterns. That wouldn't have been honest.
Today, I am starting over again. Back to day 1. I have learned a lot in the past several years of on again, off again sobriety. This past year or two has been a few days sober, then many of drinking.
Because there are very few AA meetings where I live (I think that there are 2 each week I can get to), I will rely on SR to fill in the gaps.
I pray for the courage to face my fears without alcohol and for the strength to stay sober.
Thanks for listening. And any prayers would be most welcome.

Hi Lilac, I totally relate to your post! I too tried to change my user name several months ago because I felt so much shame. Anna & Dee talked me out of it. I'm glad they did!
Anyway...I'm on day 1 again too. I just joined the February 2015 Sobriety Class. Did you join it? I've joined one of two months in the past but never used it. I'm going to use it this time. Wanna join me?

Lilac, welcome back! Dont beat yourself up. Dont you think alcohol has beat us all up enough ready? I'm back to trying again myself, and i'm concentrating on letting my body heal. No bad feelings allowed cause that extra stress isnt good for me or my recovery. Baby yourself through these first few days ...and all the days beyond.

Grateful for all of the support here! I am grateful to have made it through today in spite of anxiety (and now some budding irritability).
Looking forward to a sober tomorrow.
Serenity, please. And the courage to take care of myself.
