Four hundred and thirty days of sobriety, wooot!
Especially grateful after a night of dreaming that I drank again and feeling like sh-t…then waking up to remember that I absolutely R O C K and am still sober, 14 months plus after my last drink…yaysss!!!
Keep going, y’all!
You’re are rocking it!! 14 months is amazing!! Those dreams s u c k, but they can serve a purpose. Keep living in the solution ODAAT my friend
Appreciate your encouragement and insights, brother SoberinSoFlo Lee!
I so agree with you.
The dream / scenarios s u c k e d!
I woke up freaking out, full of self-loathing, disgust with this self, shame, those roller coaster of emotions post relapsing which are all so negative, ugh.
And paralyzing.
What utter R E L I E F to realize that the wreckage was a dream. I wrecked enough in real life which I am still processing-duh. Right, y’all?
So. I am convinced that the dream interestingly if not ironically enough is, was a wake-up call…meaning I was feeling crazy “ wobbly “ this week.
All week, it’s like that insidious voice which I know is essentially the devil speaking…was tempting me.
Going to a meeting this afternoon. Fo.sho!
Sending good energy your way, SoberinSoFlo Lee…how was your week, overall?
Thanks again. I learn so much from you and from everyone here!
I’m doing well…thank you. I hit 20 months yesterday. I have the occasional using dream, or worse yet…I sometimes catch myself “romanticizing” the old lifestyle. If I’m honest, there are things about it I miss. I just “choose” not live with the consequences. Like you, the consequences just kept getting worse and worse until they were unbearable.
This week has been challenging. I’ve got some “life” stuff popping up. While it’s been difficult, I feel good about the way I’m handling it. I used to avoid any and all conflict. I used to feel responsible and guilty for everything and everyone. As if I’m in control of all of it lol. Today I choose to not let these things control me (as much) anymore. I find that all of these tools we have been given, help reduce the anxiety just enough to not feel the need to escape. I don’t just turn this all over to my HP and then go skipping and laughing thru life, but it does take the edge off knowing that I’m not in control or responsible for everything. I just need to take care of myself and do the right thing.
Good to catch up with you. I’m always here if you need a friend or just an ear.
Thank you for sharing, SoberinSoFlo Lee and right back at you-here for you, as well!
I just realized that I did not eat properly this morning so am breaking from work stuff to prepare and eat a solid meal…while feel like relaying that a lot, if not pretty much all of what you expressed…I can relate with on some level.
Thoughout this past week…I was yes, “ romanticizing “ my days of picking up and getting sh-t faced outta my skull.
How easily I tend to forget the consequences, at times?!
Congratulations on reaching 20 months, SoberinSoFlo Lee-you continue to inspire!
Congrats!!! Big Hug !!! Awesome !!! You Rock !!!
Congrats 
Thank you, Brandie-sending virtual hugs your way as well!
…and I could not have reached this many days of sobriety without the help of the Loosid community.
I root for everyone here, every day!
Keep going, y’all!
Thank you, Sam!
I am so grateful for y’all’s support and am here to cheer y’all on, always!
I am heading to my very first martial arts class in life soon…and I am almost 50!
I would n e v e r have even considered a class like this, taking one-around fourteen months ago.
No way!
I was perpetually drunk and too “ busy “ loathing my own self to sign up for martial arts!
I am folding laundry and helping my folks prior to heading out.
I have been up for about four hours, getting things done.
Let’s keep going, y’all…
Love and Gratitudes!
Now that's what it's all about! Love your energy & enthusiasm! Live the best life you can, one karate chop at a time 
🥷 
Thank you so much, Sam-your encouragement and kind words mean a lot!
I went to the class and it was at times, challenging-and overwhelming…while that feeling of showing up, working through some discomfort and making it through is just priceless!
How is your weekend going?
