Janelle,
Remember that we are facing alcohol, it’s a vey cunning baffling, and powerful enemy we have, I almost gave up 96 days of sobriety today to myself doubt but I leaned on other alcoholics and went to meetings to take it back. You have this even if your at day 1 or day 1000 you are not alone!

I hope you heard something that you related to or had some kind of connection to. I always want to talk to the old timers afterwards, but am so awkward that I’ll just leave if I’m not familiar with anyone. But I actually need to get myself to a live, in-person meeting pronto. It’s been a bit and I can tell.

Hi, Janelle!

Smiling, proud of you for going to the meeting!

Keep going, taking actions to sustain your sobriety.

Remember that if you face urges today, not a single positive outcome will result from drinking.

You will feel like s h-t on so many levels and will be completely disgusted with yourself and you deserve a better life than what that hellish poison pretends to offer!

I am feeling loads of anxiety just now while I ain’t drinking with y’all today.

N o t T O D A Y, Satan!!

We have got thisss, y’all!

Beating yourself up will do no good. Pat yourself on the back for having the courage to come back

Janelle, podcasts have been the best part of my recovery program. I can listen to them on demand whenever I’m struggling and can hear other peoples stories, which was so helpful to not feel so alone. It’s also a good way to find resources. I really like recovery happy hour, recovery elevator, hello someday, seltzer squad, recovery rocks, and decidedly dry, but there are SOO many out there. You can do this!!
