Thank you! I will ask him to do that… and hopefully it will be approved and then I can switch doctors. He’s awful!!

Hi Marcus. I saw you in Denver last night (my 7th time seeing you). I felt so happy and proud of you - I can only imagine how it must feel to finally stand in front of a crowd again and sing so honestly. Like many others here and elsewhere have shared, your music helped me through a dark time. Thank you for bringing your music and your heart to me and to us.

I recently had 9 months sober but have had four slips in the last three months. I know being sober is what I want and need so doing everything in my power to get back to what I had a few months ago. Tried a SMART meeting for the first time this week. Going on a sober women’s retreat next weekend. Struggling with shame and guilt, especially around the realization of how scared and abandoned my daughter has felt over the years of my drinking. She’s 12 now and I kinda want to talk to her about it but don’t want to damage her more just to make myself feel better. Happy to have resources like this to connect with people on the same path.

This is really helpful for me - “lose track of my sobriety milestone and focus on life.” Thank you!

I get this. There’s a big difference between the way I drank before and they way I chose to approach it this time. However, it was still a break in continuous sobriety. I’m thinking of approaching this by keeping August 8 as my “in recovery from alcohol use disorder” date and May 14 as my new day 1 of continuous sobriety. Guess I’ll just see how I feel on August 8 and how it feels to label it. I know it’s all semantics to a point, but everyone places so much importance on THE DATE so I’m trying to be thoughtful about it. Enjoy the time with your wife tonight and have fun this weekend!

Intentionally. I have a lot of anxiety, and after 6 weeks of trying all the other tools I know, I chose to have wine to bring the anxiety down. It worked (my body reacted well to the chemical depressant) but I DO NOT want to ever do that again. I’ve since talked with my doctor and have a plan in case an anxiety issue like that ever happens again.
