Day 6.

I get you 100%. I was all over the road emotionally in the beginning. If there were an "Emotion Police" I would of been arrested and tossed in jail

You are doing fabulous. It is good to have a safe place to share and to know we are not alone.

It's been over a week now and things have calmed considerably. Continuing to do what works and take things easy

I've just been emotionally down still and need more time to process my thoughts, but I'm happy to be doing what I need to for a healthy life.

Support is essential. Keep on going.
What an accomplishment. 9 days is fabulous.
I remember when I couldn't string 3 days together. You are doing so well!

Thanks so much Mizz. Hearing from people on SR and feeling like part of a community is essential for me as well.

Things have been continuing to calm and stabilize as I move back to what works. As I progress in my recovery I want to understand how to keep being consistent even when I have a solid stretch of sobriety.

The reality is that I am doing really well due to the structure I have implemented and SR is a part of that structure.
I wonder if the thought of stepping away is my alcoholic voice trying to get in and take over? I just pay no attention to that thought or voice or whatever it is......

This is working. What you are doing is working. YAY!

Good questions, Mizz. I can't say for sure but I know for me what matters from this forum are relationships.

Just having real people to be honest with and help keep me accountable is very important for me. Knowing others want me to succeed and live the healthiest possible life is a huge motivator.

Keep taking care of yourself, and thanks so much for your support.
