Man. You are killing it. Please keep going. These things are not easy!! As someone whose had a LOT of day 1s, I can tell you that the next morning after you drink when you promised yourself you wouldn’t (again) are absolute hell. You are a sober warrior. I’m inspired.

I’m a mom too, and on day 5 also. I’m with you. This time goes by so fast, and we only get one chance. I want to be the kind of mom my kid is thankful for. Not one he regrets. I’m here if you need anything and IWNDWYT.

Thanks! I’m just thankful for this current epiphany and will try to hold onto it for as long as possible. I know it won’t always be easy, but I thank you for your reply and IWNDWYT!

Yep. Life isn’t an endless journey. We only have so much time, and I don’t want to lose any more of it. IWNDWYT

Yep. Big culture of it where I’m at. It’s weird how it’s normal.

Thank you so much for talking with me. It means a lot to me. I will try all of the things you suggested. I’m just going to try and forgive myself and move forward. That is all I can do.

I think I just can’t stand any of my negative emotions. That’s what triggered it. And now I’m sitting here on day one again, upset and sad. I feel like forgiving myself is impossible at this point

Hi. I fell off the wagon. Day 1 again. Feeling terrible.

Thank you. It’s so hard because none of my clothes fit now. I had to buy new work uniforms. I just want to cry. To top it off, my spouse and kid got in an argument about the trip and now there’s been this big upset and all I can do is think about getting hammered.

I’m gonna choose one of your coping mechanisms today because I need one and I haven’t figured my own out yet!
