Has anyone gotten to that point, where life is throwing soooooo many stressful situations your way, and you stop and are able to say,”No matter how bad things seem, I know that drinking/using is the one thing that will make this worse”. That thought has saved me many of times.

right on point.
always does 
Sometimes I think, “wow, being sober is the only thing going right today.” Helps to know there’s something achieved even if all else fails.
Out of all the stress that comes in life, staying sober each day/hour/minute/second is the “win” I need to balance it out. Ya know??
My goodness yes!
I go thru it a lot but I know going back to drinking is not an option…. I have to learn how to navigate and discard
Of course JR. we all have been there and probably will be again.. it’s just life…. Continue to work on getting to a place of inner peace… meetings sober get togethers phone calls…this time period will pass !!! Keith Kayle
Amen
Absolutely
What do you do if you can't stand AA? Is there another way??
That’s exactly what I’ve said to myself several days this week. It really helps!!
Exactly!! Life happens on life’s terms.. the good with the bad. God isn’t gonna give you something you can’t handle. Remember this too shall pass. I was so sick of using and drinking that my life as well as myself was a complete nightmare. Today I’m calm an trust the process whatever that looks like I don’t have to pick up a drink or do a line. I get to suit up and show up for my recovery ❤️🩹 and be there for someone who is struggling. Trusting God in all I do is the only way I live today. Without God I am nothing!!
