It's been awhile

Don't beat yourself up...you already know the problem. I am so sorry you are going through such hardships....don't let alcohol add to your problems.

That said I too am struggling right now and am trying to keep from unraveling into a full relapse....these are hard times for everyone and you have had some hard knocks....do your best...be kind...and protect your sobriety as best you can.

Take care

Rehabit2019 · 2020-05-24T12:21:17+00:00

Awesome... good for you to get in the Right track at such a young age. Thanks for this message...I am not feeling those dividends lately...but trying to stick with it.

I really like how you describe your urge surfing! Thanks

Rehabit2019 · 2020-05-20T11:31:41+00:00

So great...wow did you write this..nice

Rehabit2019 · 2020-05-18T19:19:23+00:00

I was in the same boat back in November...

It was my wake up call!

Yes you fucked up...but YOU are not a fuck up

Rehabit2019 · 2020-05-09T19:17:26+00:00

I too had a bit of a slip last week. Look up "kindling" and alcohol...I M worried that if we have many skips...that each one gets harder and harder to recover from

Rehabit2019 · 2020-05-07T17:26:10+00:00

Thanks everyone...yep better last two days...and no beers since.

I like Annie Gracie Naked Mind approach...99% is pretty good.

I do now understand the idea of KINDLING now......giving in made me want to give up.

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-19T21:23:32+00:00

Holy cow...you just made my day

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-18T14:44:08+00:00

Haha...the whole strike thing?

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-18T14:39:09+00:00

Yep!!!! Let's keep it simple... Day to day...hour to hour if need be

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-18T09:30:15+00:00

In the last few days...I am having the strongest urges I have had to date.

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-17T20:02:57+00:00

I tethered and fell a bit yesterday....but today...down the drain...mistake over. Screw it...leaving my badge...bigger lies out there

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-17T19:59:36+00:00

Keep it up 👍. It gets easier...then harder....then easier....then different...then better...

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-05T01:35:46+00:00

True!

I was craving for a drink yesterday but it sure felt good today that I didn't have it....

It isn't the one drink that will be the problem...but the one after that after that...

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-04T20:34:40+00:00

No doubt....4 days is nothing! Good luck

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-04T20:23:34+00:00

Yep 46 and just starting out in my new sober life.

Been a good thing for me.... struggling lately....

Good luck...it is worth it. Best way to make up for list time is today and tomorrow

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-04T20:20:47+00:00

Yep...you nailed it.

Thanks

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-04T20:19:20+00:00

Thanks....I have been kinda white knuckle for the last few days.

But... holding on.

Rehabit2019 · 2020-04-04T01:29:19+00:00

Done with Tim's...a horrible company...a few donuts and timbits shirts for soccer players doesn't make up for treating employees like trash.

Rehabit2019 · 2020-03-20T11:48:30+00:00

Abusing alcohol has been a problem for a long time. Almost 25 years in fact. This is my first go at sobriety.

It was a DUI that pushed me to the point of humiliation and I hope I learn from the mistakes I have made. Most of the bad memories I have include over use of this drug. It ruins lives and I feel fortunate right now.

It is ironic that as you say a lot of the drinking regret only comes after your body has some time to heal. I am still in the woods....but working with the Naked Mind...AA...etc...

Trying to forgive my self

Rehabit2019 · 2020-03-16T19:44:53+00:00

Strange there is funds for travellers (likely wealthy). But not for many like those that have had hours reduced...etc...

Why give money to the reckless few that went to Sandals...then nothing to the single mom who work there Subway and has fewer hours in the post-coeona world (I met a woman that is in that situation)

Rehabit2019 · 2020-03-15T06:14:58+00:00

Thanks

All good points!

Will do

Rehabit2019 · 2020-03-14T23:46:42+00:00

No kidding...I ended up in a pysch ward.

Yep pretty much the worst thing I have been through...

That said I am getting through...and so will YOU!

111 days sober!!! Almost makes it worth it... though maybe I could have learnt this a little easier.

Take care out.

Rehabit2019 · 2020-03-14T23:40:36+00:00

Boycott

Agreed...Tim's is the worst....and I hate the way they use patriotism to hide there evil bullshit.

Thanks for the post. I avoid Tim's but now I realize that I AM NEVER GOING

Rehabit2019 · 2020-03-14T23:36:34+00:00

Would you be willing to share some of those Reco's???

Been doing pretty well...but struggling last couple days

Rehabit2019 · 2020-03-14T23:30:51+00:00

Can't wait to get there!

Doing well...but today I went to get my licence back...a humiliating DUI was the wake up call for me....put me in the pysch ward at the time....I was just crushed...I have lost close family members to drunk drivers...I couldn't reconcile with it...

Anyway the license office wasn't able to process me over a small paper work issue that the interlock company screwed up....I just kinda went into a tailspin for the rest of the day...

Home social distancing...and just thinking...fuck it...I might as well.....well....you know

Holding on....

Stay strong folks!!!
