I wish I could just stay happy. Everything has gone wrong today! I've cried, screamed, and felt like I'm in a whole the entire day. Just lots of stress. Marital, financial, and just feeling down... I was in denial that I drank to hide these feelings but tonight I really want to drink to escape. Not doing it of course but this feeling is still here. I've prayed a lot today and know Jesus is the only one keeping me sane lol. Sorry for the rant. Trying not to stay bottled up but it's hard...

I'm sorry for your bad day alynn.

One of the things I'm grateful for now is my bad days usually just stay bad days - they don't turn into bad weeks, months or years...

Good on you for staying sober - I really hope tomorrow and the rest of your week is better

Alynn the beauty of a bad day is that when we are sober a good night's sleep usually makes things a lot better. I hope that's the case for you.

Alynn-keep on hanging in there. I've had some hard days lately too.
Keep on remembering that with picking up, you'll still be dealing with the same stuff, but hungover. I repeat that to myself when days are hard. I hope your day is better tomorrow.

Alynn

Thank you all. Sleep tonight and church / recovery life group tomorrow should change my attitude

Don't do what I did and drink! You can get by this. Stay talking here if it helps.

Wishing you well x

Alynn, sending positive thoughts your way. Sleep helps a lot. I've had it rough lately too and it's hard to not think of squishing the pain by drinking but that's so not worth it.

Hang in there.

I certainly know about bad days..has I've had basically one of the worst years of my life which is what has me on this site for added support. As the others tell me on here "things do get better". I'm waiting for the tide to change myself as I've blazed a trail of madness with my drinking.

Hang in there Alynn!

You are doing great and the main thing is that you are sober.

I hope you took some time for yourself, maybe had a bath and went to sleep early. That usually helps me!

How are you today, Alynn?

Alynn

Thank you all. Still can't shake this nasty feeling... It's a dreary day also which doesn't help. Headed to church. Praying for peace.

Alynn, I hope that you feel better today. I try to accept that some days will be difficult, and that hopefully there are many more peaceful days than 'down' days.

The rough times always pass; nothing stays the same, so just hang on. You never know just when it's going to turn around again.

Alynn - I hope your church and group make you feel better.

I hope you feel better!! Hugs!

Romans 5:3–4 (ESV)
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

Bad days also pass, Alynn.

I see you're interested in photography.
I went out yesterday to shoot some photos

I hope you feel better soon Alynn.

Remember the impermanence of life. These feelings will eventually pass.

Enjoy church
