Fog lifting...

It's been about a couple of weeks or so since I have posted on here. I haven't felt like talking to anyone must less posting to anyone. I had a rough time there for a bit and I fell down - hard. But... I picked myself back up and it's been a week as of this morning that I have maintained sobriety. I'm so grateful that at least in this moment I feel good and it feels like a fog has lifted inside my brain. I feel better in fact than I have in a long time. I know it won't last and I know I have more hard times ahead of me but damnit I'm going to enjoy this while I have it. I keep telling myself that as long as I think positive things about myself and don't beat myself up I will be supporting me. If I fall, I must pick myself up. There is always a tomorrow and with every new day is a new beginning and a fresh start.

In this moment, things are going well. I feel good and I am hopeful for my future. I want this... I want it bad.

I know I need to get my butt into a support program and I keep eyeing the one that Chip showed me in Los Gatos. I just gotta get the courage up to walk into the door. I'm getting there.

Anyways, GOOD day to everyone. I hope you find something in today that makes you feel good.

Hi Sugasnaps!

I am proud of you for coming back, it's very difficult but you are making the right choice! Don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow, just think about today! That's all you need to think about is just for today or this hour or even minute. Remember easy does it. Your right, you do need to find a group and a sponsor but I am glad you are here.

Hope you have a great day and remember your worth it!

Welcome back...Good for you!
For some sobriety is a process and not an event. It sure was for me. But every week your not poisoning yourself is one week easier on your liver and pancreas!

Yep it does I am glad that you have sometime behind you but I like to remember also that what I did yesterday won't keep me clean and sober today. I think the Big Book calls that resting on our laurels. Anyway my counselor once said it take anywhere from 7 months to 7 years to get back to any normality whatever that is. I know I feel like I am doing somewhat better but it is not over by a long means. Again congrats on your time

Love Vic
