Prayers and pledges

Recovery
#1

Please pray for my dad. He is in the ER. He can't breathe on his own right now. He will be alone in the hospital for Chrsitmas. I'm very very scared and sad.

This is one of those times. My recovery has been shaken. I have over seven years sober and honestly, most days I don't want to drink. But today is different. I straight up wanna drink.

Not today, alcoholism.

My life has become too good to lose.

I've had a good cry. Time to rinse my face and workout. Then I'll eat avocado toast with eggs. I'll put on a red dress and be with those I love. I'll play carols on my ukulele.

I ain't drinkin today!

Thank you all. This community is a huge part of my life now.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your father. I totally get where you're at right now thinking that a drink will fix this.

Its a Big Fat LIE!!!

Do yourself a favor and play that scene all the way through. You may feel like it was a good decision in the beginning but in the end you will have great disappointment and you will be sadder then you ever have been and you will probably have fallen back into the Insidious cycle of insanity drinking day after day after day. It's not worth it. You've come too far. By you not drinking you are being example to the newbies out there. Your father also needs you to be strong right now. Continue to stay sober and stay strong. You will come out of this stronger than before.

Thank you guys so much wow I am so grateful for your support. I have had a few more spurts of tears and some intense anger. I worked through it using breathing and grounding techniques. Being a behavior technician and doing this master's degree program in behavior analysis really has taught me a lot of coping skills that aide my recovery.

Update:

Dad got the gift basket and is happy. He called. He sounds better.

I'm still sober af.

My Christmas look is fire.

Thanks again everyone!!! Sure glad I reached out on here. Fight hard loves, you're worth it!
