Day 11 of sobriety. Heading into day 12. I have

Day 11 of sobriety. Heading into day 12. I have been doing relatively well. Really bad anxiety today, i just want to reach 30days. I think at that point i can say im not turning back. I have been riding this roller coaster for some time, and i have gotten “ clean “ so many times its not funny. 10 days here. 7 days there. I always turn back and say oh i can have just one. And the cycle continues. This time im done. Im tired. So tired. But, im waking up day by day. And, it feels good!

Try taking it one day at a time. It works for me. I say to myself, “I’m not going to use or drink just for today, no matter what. Maybe tomorrow but not today”.
Sounds silly but it works.

I also suggest attending AA or NA. That’s where it’s at, a solution.

Yes it’s so much easier when we just don’t use or drink for TODAY! We stay connected, reach out, and accept help when needed,,, then soon we are helping others…… that’s what my program does for me……

Take things one day at a time find a AA or a NA meeting to start going to and always remember to breath don't stress anything and don't let people get you down and find church to go to and the key in all of this to admit you have a problem and forgive yourself for anything that you have said or done to hurt those that you love and care about and remember anything worth it isn't easy and anything easy isn't worth it

Thank you Danny I appreciate it sir! I am not. I am doing all of this solo. Not much of a support system.

Nathan.. I've been sober since December 25,1988. I can honestly say this Humbly that one day at a time works for me and it will work for you. Stay the course. You can do this. Keep up the good work. You got this.

If you want to talk sponsorship and the 12 steps, text me 3107292111.
I’m 15 years sober and sponsor over the phone.

Wow! Great work. Just start telling yourself, "I'm not turning back today." Repeat this as needed tomorrow. 30 days has no magical power. The power is you, now.

They recommend that we don’t do this alone… it’s easier when we stick together….. I wish you the best

You can do this!!

Keep it up bro. Zoom meetings podcasts whatever works.
