Doreen! Hi. How are you doing? I am about to reset my tracker to the 18th as my day one as I did drink on the 17th while tonight I am rounding out my sixth day since I last touched alcohol. I am doubling up efforts possibly tripling up? And ensuring that I hit the pillow S O B E R. When cravings hit, I remind myself how disgusted and sick of it all I was on the 18th , the self loathing and cursing alcohol and my self for allowing this sinister poison to rob me of the sobriety I and each of us are worthy of. I ll check in again soon.
Hello I'm ok but I keep going back to the bottle but I'm not giving up I need to reset mine over as well. I'm just making sure this time wen I set it I'm sure my new date will be the 22 Saturday day cause I really was drinking Friday the 21 I know I can't help but mess up but I'm not giving up on me so neither do you I'll keep you posted
I did change mine to the 22 ok here I go GOD help me I'm really going to try make a meeting Friday my weakness day

Hi Doreen. I respect your honesty and willingness to not give up! I will be better about checking in. I am having coffee and it is past 4 p m here while I will take coffee at 4 p m versus alcohol at this time of day , the afternoon. Keep coming back. I am switching over to tea before a meeting at six. Let’s be proud of ourselves for showing up and wanting to be sober, Doreen. I keep telling myself : go to bed sober. A lot stuff I am stressing over while thankfully, waking up hating myself is not one of them since my last sip of alcohol last week. I ll check in later. I am rooting for you, each of us!

I just made it through day 4, we are stuck with this disease for life. Find strength in meetings and fellowship with others stuck with this sickness
This is the hardest thing ever I keep giving into temptation the thoughts of it I need help I must not be getting this I need a meeting fast my life is at stake 
Hi, Doreen. How are you today? Aside from meetings, what additional sober supports are you engaged in? Asking because I find that the more support systems, tools I have in place-the less I turn to the bottle. I realize that such sounds like duh! While is helping.
You mentioned “ not getting this “ , Doreen while you obviously are getting S O M E things or else you would not be showing up and seeking help. I know it can fell hellacious. Sincerely try to not beat yourself up, Doreen. Show some compassion and grace towards your own self for wanting to get better. I just read these words via the Tempest newsletter: “ Stops and starts are opportunities , not failures “. I hope to see your name here and soon. Rooting for you , myself and every single person here, trying to improve and remain sober!
