I feel far from great today. I'm still clean but at this time I don't really want to be. Anger has taken over. I found out the drunk driver who hit me got out of everything. She had 4 tickets the night of the accident and the city attorney didn't want to file charges so she got her license back to go on with her life. I'm left with no car, physical therapy every day, medical bills and scared of the road. Ain't life dandy??!!

Dear Mishelly .....
I can truly truly relate! Please read a post I just made. ANGER is a big part of why I drank.
Try to distract yourself by doing something you like (listen to me ..... I should listen to my own self)
Wishing you well and hoping your day gets better!

Thanks
Sadly, I lost count. I'm new to sobriety and certainly have relapsed and am very ashamed of it.
I know it can be done ..... but one must WANT it.
MOTIVATIONS: alienating and losing the respect, love, and presence of my loved ones (including two daughters)
Why did I relapse ..... although this sounds like an excuse (and perhaps it is), but it was sadness, stress, not knowing what else to do, and feeling that geeeee, if I just have a drink it'll be alright! WRONG! VERY WRONG!

(((Kathy))) Hang in there! You are clean and everything will fall into place. It helps to talk about the anger though. I know for me, anger was a big trigger and I had to do things to help get rid of it. You're doing great and I'm here for you.
(((Mishelly))) Hey there, you're doing great to! Trust that your HP will bring you to where you need to be. Things get better as long as you don't pick up! Pray for the obsession to be lifted.
Hi Maria, glad to see that you stopped by!! (((Maria)))
Today is day 10 for me, feeling so-so today. Glad that I am still sober. Life is smiling at me.

Good for you Hope! Keep it up!
Findingme...what's the name of the thread you wanted me to look at?
When I go to bed tonight it will be the end of my twelfth day clean/sober...I never count the day until it's over! And today hasn't been too bad as far as wanting to drink/use. Thanks all for your support and well wishes.

Hey everyone 22 days here. seems like forever since this thread was started.
Hope, you are right, I am clean and everything will fall into place, maybe not when and how I want but it will. Way to go on 11 days.
Mishelly, congrats on day 12. I understand counting the day when it's over. I count the day when it starts but it isn't official until I'm in bed.
have a great evening everyone.

Day 12
ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT, BUT SOMEHOW GOD DID FOR ME WHAT I COULD NOT DO FOR MYSELF. AND YOU KNOW HOW THAT PHONE IS 1000 LBS. WHEN YOU NEED TO USE IT? STILL CLEAN AND FEELING PRETTY MUCH OK WITH LIFE FOR THE MOMENT.
