Having one of those days where I feel like giving up or slipping back into old habits. Just being honest. If anyone’s been here before… how did you get through it?

I'm only 43 days sober, and yes I'm in the same boat.

I’ve had days like this myself. You’ve already done something big by asking for help! You’re going to make it through this! We’re all here for you and ever other alcoholic that still suffers!
Hey, acknowledging that's how you're feeling takes awareness, honesty and courage.

Double-down. Meetings, calls, sharing, service. Everything I was doing had to turn it up a notch till I got through it
Zoom Meetings , podcasts, prayer , talk to people about anything that keeps you from doing bad we’re here.
Thanks all
For me, I'm coming up on 7 months. This is my 3rd go round. The difference this time is I'm all in. I completely surrendered and asked my higher power God to remove the obsession to drink. I also do the complete opposite of what I did the first 2 tries. I call ppl all the time, talk to my sponsor everyday if not multiple times a day, attend 5-8 meetings a week, did 90 and 90. I pray multiple times a day asking God to give me the strength and knowledge to follow his will want not mine
If something is bothering me, I MUST call another drunk or bring it up at a meeting to get rid of it. That easy it's not manifesting and building up inside.
Give yourself grace and know it’s normal to have these bad days where our past “escape” seems to be the easy way to cope. I personally find journaling to be very therapeutic. You are able to get out all your thoughts and emotions, both the good and bad. On days you feel like giving up you can go back to read what you wrote as a reminder on why you are making this journey. You got this Linda!
It’s not easy for me at all, but I know I have to go through this
