Recovery is a process… and it takes time.. I stumble sometimes but I know that God has my back.. anyone else feels the same? Anyone else struggling?!

Yes I definitely feel the same and struggling bad right now but I woke up another day and stayed cleaned so that’s a blessing..

I struggle with making the choice to go and buy alcohol, or not, just about everyday. But with each day that I choose not to I feel more and more empowered and in control. Like you said, recovery is a process

I’m still struggling but not as much as before. I’m currently trying to rebuild my relationship with God. I’m glad for the struggle though, that means I can feel when before I’d be numb, and now I know it’s only temporary and that this too shall pass. I have been trying to continue to build my toolbox for times like that.

That’s the main thing with me… especially working next door to a liquor store..
I agree. Being able to feel those feelings, deal with them and then overcome them provides growth. And what a beautiful feeling to be able to overcome things we struggle with

Some days the best I can do is to just not drink.
Progress not perfection.

I have been struggling lately… but tonight I am trying a new meeting. It’s better than going out to buy a bottle

Exactly, recovery is the longest process but the most rewarding.

Hi, Alex.
Thank you for your post and how are you doing today?
I am not struggling-meaning the desire to drink is N O T present ( hooray )!…do not want to drink.
While…
I am feeling tired and lonely this morning ( sleep deprived because I am looking after my fourth foster cat in life )-while she is a gem.
And I am not drinking.
Go us.
Again. Thank you for sharing. I am rooting for you and everyone here!
It really does get better. Hang in there, everyone!
