    Nursie's Recovery thread

    I'm back on day 1. Last night was terrible. The shame and embarrassment is just too much. I'm taking my life back. Today is the day.

    I'm going to read and post every day.
    I'm going to re-read the tool box.
    I'm going to pray and go to church.
    I'm not going to drink.
    I don't drink anymore!
    Day 1 again 11/5/19

    Goal 2: 14 days :happy2:
    Goal 3: 21 days :happy2:
    11/27/19: messed up but back on track
    12/14/19: bad doozy but back on track

    One day at a time.

    Nursie's Recovery thread

    My Sobriety Plan:
    1. Read about recovery and meditate on it daily.
    2. Resume my supplements
    3. Wake up earlier in the morning so I can spend time working on my sobriety plan. My sobriety is the most important thing in my life now.
    4. Join the AA group at my church. (Not sure if it's AA or other recovery related, but I'm going!)
    5. Exercise 3-5 times a week.
    6. Have an exit plan, escape route, and a good excuse
    7. When someone, anyone asks me what I would like to drink, my answer will immediately be "I would LOVE some hot tea", or "Seltzer please!"
    8. I will drink my tea every night because it comforts me
    9. I will spend time with my family, keep my house clean and associate with healthy people
    10. I will not drink, no matter what, no matter who, no matter where. I don't drink.

            Your plan looks solid nursie.
            Just two more things:
            1. Make sure there is no AL in your house
            2. Make a solemn vow to buy no more, ever!
            That's what I did, it worked for me & it will work for you too
            AF since 03/26/09

              Great plan. Sounds much like mine. Everything became so much
              easier when I came into agreement with God that this is not
              something he wants in my life. I started to ask him every day
              even in my worst hangovers to not let fall. I finally asked him
              to help me surrender as I didn't know how to. The Holy spirit
              started to open my eyes to what the enemy was doing to me.
              I prayed for strength to hate alcohol as much as alcohol hate
              me. I wake every day, get on my knees and thank God for hearing
              my desperate cry for help. I have several gospel songs
              I listen to thro out the day and can feel the power of the Holy
              spirit working my life.
              I only said this because you mentioned your intention
              to Incooperate church in your recovery.
              Its for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and DO NOT let yourself be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1

                Thanks everyone,
                Lavande, don't worry! I never keep alcohol in my house because I tend to drink it....
                Solemn vow: I am getting married to my sobriety

                Lizker, thanks for those words. Yes, I do like to incorporate my faith in my recovery. The meeting I'm starting of Friday is called "Celebrate Recovery". It's a bible based program and something I am looking forward to.

                I had quite a busy day at work today. I am wooped, but I wanted to check in and let you know I am sober.

                    Gooood Morning!
                    So nice to wake up sober and well rested. Well, not too well rested because my son is sick but I was able to give him the perfect mama treatment all night.

                    I'm thinking of posting my story, or maybe going back to some of my old posts and bringing them to this thread, because I see there are a lot of new faces here.

                    If anyone knows how to do that, please let me know. For now I will keep it simple and not cry over my past and my losses. I am sober today because of my past. I am sober today because of my losses.

                    I am sober today, so I don't have to cry.

                            Today is day 4 and I am on an emotional roller coaster. One minute I am ecstatic that I have made this life change and my future. Another minute I am plagued by guilt and remorse. Still another minute, it cuts me like a knife that my brother is dead. He died, and I am facing it sober for the first time.
                            I came home early today because my son is still sick, and between lack of sleep, worry for my little guy, and just an abundance of racing thoughts, I broke down crying. Hard. For my beautiful brother that didn't get to be sober. My brother who I tried to save a million times, but flew through his windshield and landed on the pavement, driving drunk.
                            I still wonder what would have happened if I went through with that intervention.
                            I just miss him so bad. I'm really sad today.

                              Day 5! I feel a bit better today. Hungry and thirsty a lot. Low energy level.
                              I'm having terrible acne that is not usually a problem!

                              Every time I pass a liquor store I briefly forget I quit drinking, but then I vehemently say "I do NOT go in there. I do not drink any more!"

                              Going to go post my drinking dream on the dream thread!
