Feeling very alone and down today. The same feeling that usually makes me reach for the bottle.

Yes, I found all those feelings come up which is part of life. How can I stay successfully clean/ sober if I dont let myself have a chance to feel them if I take something to avoid feeling the feelings?
I don't die from a feeling. I could die or go out from what I do to avoid them, though.
Go to meetings.

I managed to be with a sober friend and get through the day. Thank you for all the kind words and support. It helps knowing there are others who have been there and understand the pain
