Re: Express your Gratitude

Hi again - sorry to be a downer. Drank last night and going through the gsr.
3 weeks gone.

I am grateful to have found the time and energy this morning to get in a little workout.
Trying to find the mental strength to not turn this into an entire month drinking.

Yesterday I forgot to take my amino supps in the am, then didn't eat lunch so I really set myself up
to not be able to handle a crap day.

^ Yes, it was.

I think you probably disappointed yourself the most ssd, but we all feel it with you. I know it won't turn into a month long drinking marathon because you came right back and were honest. Honesty is a very big part of sobriety, mostly being honest with ourselves and then to those around us. As [MENTION=5017]Sunbeam[/MENTION] said, hopefully you gained some insight, why did you drink, what could have you done differently... Any slip is a good chance to figure out where we went wrong and what we can do to prevent it from happening again. If you want my number, or FB info, just ask, I'll be around to talk if the urges get overwhelming...

I'm grateful for the honesty we show to each other, if we can't be honest here, then we probably can't be honest anywhere else...

edit: I think I just x-posted you ssd lol

Re: Express your Gratitude

Thank you [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION]. I left that post and then went to work - then regretted whining!
So many people are going through so much right now that my issues are so small.

I did think about how I got myself there - it was mostly the lack of lunch, worry about my brother in Key West (he wasn't returning my texts) and a few irritating obstacles. My brother is ok so that is a huge relief. He was on his way out of the state when I was trying to reach him.

I've lived in rural areas most all my life [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], and I'm amazed at the beauty I still see in the countryside...

[abcowboy]

Well there you have it ssd, lesson learned and new tool for your toolbox! And I don't call it whining, I call it reaching out :happy2:

Re: Express your Gratitude

I am grateful for life, but very sad for my friend whose 14 y.o. Daughter was hit by a car and killed yesterday. Life is precious.

Such a tragedy Sunbeam, thoughts and prayers out to the family....

I just recently had a bender and wasn't too proud of myself. And I mean past 10 beers which really creates alot of anxiety for me .Other slips Ive only had like a 6 pack but it was greater than that , So revisited Doc last week and got armed with meds I ran out of. Thankful with weekend temptation there is no beer in my house
