40 days
40 days today- I do not know why... but for some reason I feel like I should get a "chip" for 40 days!! LOL.. truth is 24hrs is all I need to handle. Up early have an interview for a part time job Monday.
I really hope this works out it will be perfect for me and my free up time to work on my recovery. Thank you every one for all your support

Super, Faith! You raised my morale more than once with the way you fought your way through all this.
I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you and wish you all the very best of luck in your job interview!

Thank you so much Ravel!
I love that kitty kat! I feel really good this morning. I cried for the first 11 days straight . Then woke up angry for almost a month. I am very grateful I do not feel engulfed in alcohol haze/sickness/anxiety at *this* moment. It is so very true for me to just keep it in the day! I have a few more upsetting obstacles to get through -I am just glad I can get through it Sober.

❤️I had a good friend with alot of quality sobriety in the past.
I would call her in the evening to review my daily interactions that day. X- happened- which made me annoyed..Y-happened- which made me upset Z-happened which made me insecure! Waiting for her say oh poor thing- take all my frustrations away and realize how tough my life is boo hoo- etc...LOL
The only thing she asked in response "did you drink today??"- I said "no"
WOW she would say , you are a Success and a Miracle today. Truer words could not have been spoken on those phone calls. She instantly made me realized that I was a miracle. That is all I needed to focus on not picking up a drink one day at a time and life will to work itself out organically.
Wish I stayed working with her on my Sobriety. The words stayed with me though the years , especially when I was drinking and just making my life an unsuccessful mess.
I need to check out the 24 hour support thread. Commit to sobriety one day at a time.
Today started off with great resolve. My mind wandering to a no good place and it is scaring me. I am craving a drink

My first sponsor (and one of my best friends in high school) was like that.....that is exactly what she would say to all of my gripes.
As a matter of fact she now runs a fantastic rehab in Victoria, Australia that she began herself. Very cool.
We are miracles dear Faith. s xx

I love your posts too!
I have the hungry horrors today- I want to eat and eat. I have been trying to be good with a healthy diet but today I am indulging.
I have my meeting tonight at 7pm. I am praying to make it another 24 hours today has been tough
