Hey Kaylie, I hope you haven't given in yet. I am praying for you to make it through this moment 
I sent you a friend request if you'd like to chat as a distraction in this moment.

Glad you’re reaching out because I would hate to see you toss SEVEN months. You know if you relapse it’s like you never stopped. Only, worse than it was. That’s the way it was for me. If it’s any consolation, seemed like 6 to 12 months went by faster, gooder than 0 to 6. Let’s shoot for that coin one day at a time.

Hey Kaylie. I hope this reaches you still doing well. If you're going through something hard and it's making you want to do it, just remember that the only drink you can say no to is the first one. If you're just craving, remember that it too will pass. I'm here if you need me, dm me if you'd like to chat here or elsewhere. Almost 18 months here.

Coming back after a relapse is the worst feeling in the world. Please save yourself from this experience and just get through today. See how you feel in the morning. It’s amazing what a sleep and wake up does for the mind. Sending you so much love

I'm in agreement that you BECOME STRONGER BY DEVELOPING YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE... IM IN AGREEMENT THAT YOUR DRINKING AND USING CAREER HAS BEEN RUINED AND RECOVERY HAS BECOME VERY PERSONAL FOR YOU. EMBRACE THE PROCESS AND DON'T RUN FROM YOUR EMOTIONS. YOU CAN DO THIS

Call your sponsor and get to a meeting. That works good.

Kaylie…..
This too shall pass. As alcoholics the old way of handling emotions and life on life’s terms was to numb it with drugs and or alcohol.
We have a solution. So glad you reached out.
Here’s a checklist that is a plan of action.
• Am I contacting my sponsor and meeting with her on a regular and consistent basis?
• Am I going to no less than 3 meetings a week?
• Am I currently working the 12 steps ?
• Am I starting and ending my day with prayer and meditation ?
• Am I into the literature daily…. Big Book, 12 n 12
Daily Reflections, 24 hours a day, or other recovery related books
• Am I in my head and obsessing over people, places or things ?
I encourage you to call your sponsor and if you don’t have one get one asap.
I meet with my sponsees weekly until they get through at least steps 1-9.
The support and guidance is so very helpful.
Best wishes.

Ok...so you white-knuckled this thing yesterday, and somehow made it through. What are you doing to address your disease? Are you going to meetings? Do you have a sponsor? Are you praying? Nothing changes if nothing changes. I would have been doomed to drink again if I had to rely on this app so that I didn't drink. There comes a time in all of our lives where the only thing standing between us and a drink/drug is our Higher Power. If it wasn't for regularly attending meetings, getting a sponsor, and working the 12 steps to the best of my ability then I'd most likely be dead or under a bridge by now. I'm praying for this to be a wakeup call for you, and because of the 12 steps, my sponsor, and regular meetings the obsession had been lifted from me by 7 months. I'm not saying this because I think I'm better than anyone, but simply to try and motivate you to start doing something differently to avoid relapsing moving forward. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in this world by mistake.
