today makes one year since we put my dog down:(( I was 22 when we put her down and she was 16 1/2. I’m an only child so she was the closest thing I had to a sister and she was my best friend. I knew today would be the hardest day of the year especially because this is the first anniversary. I’m allowing my emotions to rise and sit with them despite the uncomfortability. It’s just really hard and I really want to use. I won’t pick up today, but the temptation is very strong and I just had to get that out there

We just put one of our family dogs down last night. It’s one of the hardest moments in life. She was there by my side through my darkest moments. I totally can relate to how you feel. It’s much harder to deal with emotions in sobriety because we have to face them. You aren’t alone and it’s ok to feel this way. I know for myself that my baby was suffering and this was the best decision we could have made for her. You just need to keep her memories alive. We can get through this if not alone than with others by our sides. If you need anything, please let me know.

thank you i really appreciate that❤️ she was my baby too, i had her since i was 5. she was my best friend and always there for me. i’m sitting with the uncomfortableness and it’s so hard. dealing with this anniversary for the first time plus being sober is just a double whammy. but thank you, you’ll get through this too and we’ll get through this sober
