If you get the chance to apologize to anyone you hurt, try to do it. Acknowledging our bad behavior is a good way to release the shame.

Towards the end of my drinking I woke up on. NYC sidewalk with one shoe, robbed and beaten. You have not ruined your life trust me. You need to give yourself some TLC, find strong support, stop blaming yourself it is never too late.

I wonder why we drunk text. I did the same thing when drinking and would never text those things when not drinking

So many people showed me warmth

I can guess mine. Probably out of desperation to hook up. Or probably out of feeling lonely and wanting to talk

Happy Friday jason. This weekend and next weekend would cake walks , because I am sick with cold and cough, next weekend , easter dinner with a couple of acqua loving friends. What are your plans for the weekend? My real test to sobriety starts from April , when no one is checking on me anymore, healthy and feeling great and then my brain is going to murmur, "hey, you've been doing fine. You are single, why are you staying home. Just go out and enjoy one drink and socialize". That's when I to switch on netflix, haha

It is a happy Friday afternoon, long week at the office. Geesh! I am going to hang around the house, start the spring cleaning in my yard/garage. I enjoy tinkering around the house.:grin: I suppose I was curious how you have been doing. However i am not planning to abandon you when your are doing better. I figured we can help each other navigate recovery. My experience has proven the more support I give and receive helps create some consistency with happiness and well-being. It is always nice having a new pal. How about them apples? You down for that? I sure would appreciate it! :grin:

Good to hear. It has taken me decades to wiggle out of stupid myself. I don’t mean this condescendingly but you are young and have a whole life ahead of you. You are not stupid and there is no defect. You are merely doing what we all do and that is trying to navigate this life and world as best as we can. Here for you.

We tend to beat ourselves up more than others do because we have to live with the guilt and shame. Be kind to yourself; today is a new day.
