Disease of Mind

Recovery
#1

For about a week and a half now, I’ve avoided in-person meetings. I stopped calling or texting my sponsor and other addicts. I am not praying consistently. I feel depressed and troubled. Today I missed out on outpatient classes.

And I’m 99 days clean from Alcohol.

Nevertheless, I have to say that it isn’t really all that bad. I have class tomorrow, and intend to to show up. I will be in a setting where I get to talk to other alcoholics. I’ll pray tonight. I’m grateful and blessed for many things. Ive now learned how to pause when feeling triggered or tempted and just think it out. In my case, it could be WORSE. Today, I will end the night in my bed, a roof over my head, my sobriety and a check-in with everybody on this app..

Hey- you got this!!! The good thing is you’re able to see what’s going on and know what you have to do! I believe you can do it and it will help your depression. I struggle with it too and meetings and prayer have worked so well this past month for my mental health

The first year can be like that. It’s gets better and then worse and than better and then worse. I catch myself and then recalibrate all the time.
