I知 not feeling well
 
I need to get to a meeting tonight. I feel so sad.

No matter how low and sad you feel - you will feel lower and sadder if you drink.

Stay strong. Go to your meeting and be with people that understand.

I'm sorry you are feeling like crap. Don't drink tonight if you can stay away from it. You will be all over the place, your thoughts will be further compromised, and you will crash when you come down, then you will be back where you are now. Plus hung over and sick again. A recipe for more sadness. I hope you can go get some support from in-real-life people tonight at your meeting.

FreedomCA 12-18-2019 03:21 PM

FreedomCA 12-18-2019 03:36 PM

I just want this to pass.

Go to the meeting and I think that will help. Sometimes you just need to be around other people.

FreedomCA 12-18-2019 03:43 PM

I have to wait until my guest wakes up though.

Anna 12-18-2019 03:48 PM

I'm sorry you're feeling sad and scared, Freedom. Early recovery is a tough time. I'm glad you have a plan to go to a meeting tonight. I hope you feel better soon.

FreedomCA 12-18-2019 03:50 PM

Thanks Anna. Alcoholism is a nightmare. 😢

Same here. I've left feeling better every time I've gone.

FreedomCA 12-18-2019 05:18 PM

FreedomCA 12-18-2019 05:22 PM

Day 1 almost done with no drinking or drugs. I feel like I知 somewhat coming out of the darkness. 🙏


Steely 12-18-2019 05:34 PM

Thank goodness for that Freedom CA.

Out of the darkness, into the light.

Day 3 here.

My journey out of the depths of active addiction had moments each day of complete peace and serenity.

In the beginning there were fewer. In between the serene times was living hell on Earth.

Terror, palpitations, no sleep, anxiety etc etc. Basically the definition of insanity.

The crazyness slowly subsided. It was closer to I got used to feeling crazy and then it went away.

Nobody really cares except me and folks here and at AA meetings. I knew that there were.folks at my meetings that would take care of me if I needed it. Up to letting me sleep on their couch. Aa is awesome if needed.

I needed it initially and now I am making my way knowing I have Sr and AA in my corner always.

Of course there are Dr s as well.

Suffering was the key to my escape.

Thanks.

I just ordered a pizza. Maybe food will help things.

FreedomCA 12-18-2019 05:37 PM

I just have so much guilt and remorse for my behavior.

Surrendered19 12-18-2019 05:46 PM

A pizza is a great idea. Don't be too hard on yourself. You could beat the crap out of yourself and lose a bunch of time on that and the past is still the same as it was. All you can do is make amends where you need to, learn from what happened and that is all we can do. Sometimes I am sad that I cannot go back and do it all different, but I think that is very typical of all people, not just us addicts. Have a slice and get to your meeting. I hope you can still make that meeting and be with some real life folks.
