Shanice, will you have a few minutes to do something nice for yourself before the day / evening ends?
Echoing what Sajen Cruz relayed…you are not alone, Shanice!

AA says if you want more serenity, lower your expectations. ( or does AA say that…?) Anyway, it works!

This helped me: I heard a guy say once, just because I have a hard or bad day doesn’t mean I have a bad life. If I had a bad day in the past, it felt like my whole world was crashing down around me. That was just my faulty perception. Now I know, I pray to my higher power and say thanks for getting me through today and I’m probably going to need some help again tomorrow. The point is when I create storms in my mind, which I’m an expert at, I can ask for guidance and strength and I ALWAYS get through those times. Often what I’m so scared of happening in the future or tomorrow never ends up happening anyway. Just identify today as a bad day, look to help someone else and talk or pray to you HP and you will get through it.

It's hard for any of us to hear "this too shall pass."

It's easy to tell someone else but when it's you that's going through the chaos, it never does feel good.

That's the thing about sobriety...
We're used to suppressing what we feel with a drink and then another drink and it never does end very well.

In sobriety, we learn to take things one day at a time and sometimes one moment at a time. Life never really does get easier. We simply get better at handling life one day at a time.
