Hello strong, fighting friends.
I’m back at sobriety. I made it 30 days over a week ago, but made a reactive decision during a lonely evening to relapse. It’s been humbling to realize more & more that I can’t do this on my own, as much as I can try to make myself believe I can. I have found an online AA meeting that has helped… sharing progress with y’all encourages me, too. This addiction to alcohol has robbed me of so much- relationships with friends, family & even with myself. The day by day journey continues- I’m hoping to experience the fullness of life again, not alone, not isolated, not living with daily guilt, sadness & regret. I know I’ve got more fight in me even though it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. I’m grateful I didn’t wake up with a hangover today, which gave me the energy to go to the gym & even start to cook again. It’s my 32nd birthday next week- the gift I am giving myself is sobriety & accepting who I am in this journey. Love & peace to you all!
The past is past only have today and tomorrow. Hang in there keep to the future, sober.
We got this one day at a time. You deserve happiness 
Welcome Kandi! It’s great that you found out that you can’t do this by yourself. We all find this out the hard way. AA meetings are a great place to find friends and not feel so lonely. If possible, I suggest you go to a few in person. Even better, ask around if there are women only meetings. You can share and feel comfortable. The fellowship of AA has given me so much. What a wonderful birthday present to give to yourself! 
Hi Kandi! Yes, community is huge in maintaining sobriety! Such an important realization, if you stick with this sobriety thing you will get to experience the fullness of life, I promise you! Just remember, reach out before you act! Good luck!
Glad you're back.
