Talked to a friend today from another country that I met through an online meeting. We had connected over the last six months on our path to sobriety. She disclosed that she was inebriated. It doesn’t make me think less of her. It’s part of the process. Did it trigger me? In a small way, yes because I am home alone at this moment, but I am staying strong. It doesn’t matter where you are, where you live, what your lifestyle is- the beast is always there. Ready willing and able.

Congratulations on staying strong! I’m nervous for daily triggers; I know there’s no way to completely avoid them all and still try to live a normal life, and anything worth anything need to be able to past through the tests life throws at us

It's a reminder of what's out there when those thoughts come knocking. I praying your friend find her way back soon. Stay strong friend.

Sorry, I’m replying so late but you nailed it. There is nobody on this thread that is gonna avoid the daily challenges of life. It is so easy, SO EASY to flip the switch to “fk it mode” this is why platforms like this are so important. Nobody here is alone.
