I rememebr people in AA when I went being SO THRILLED to be off of alcohol for JUST ONE DAY. But, I wasn't an alcoholic, so i couldnt relate to their wonderment... so...here I am; In wonder. (i have never been able to attend an NA meeting f2f yet...) The second thing I remember about AA is they always reminded newcomers to try and ask whatever higher power they believed in to HELP THEM stay sober/clean...
well...if you;re trying to quit like me...I can give you my day 1 benefits already... 1- I feel good about trying and succeeding 2- I think praying worked... 3- My lungs don`t feel like an elephant is doing the waatoozie in them this morning
This is tough on my depression. I was on medication for 16 years, but, it caused me to live like a zombie..not great. So, i guess this was a day on NOTHING which is a first in almost 2 decades for me. wow...
ok...not getting cocky...I have ONE 24 hour...
lets see how today goes. But I wanted to write in case anyone out theer was rtying to stop and having trouble. The chat room rarely has anyone, so reading a post might be helpful. For me, I just LET MYSELF have a clean day...instead of fighting with my urges, I just HAD THEM...I hjave urges all the time! I dont always act on them...so, this was the same.
It feels ok this morning. Didn;t sleep last night (all things in time)...so today will take very good care of myself, read some lit and stories and pray.
day and a half...lol. chaos reigns supreme in my neck of canada...storms are bad. I live on a farm way out in BF nowehere (really...no meetings here lol..)...unless cows next door start to get problematic. lol
animals are alive, and I don't feel the need to run fromt he pressure of the day.
Conrates one day is a miracale,Keep comin back,we need you,I m stuck in the same snow storm up in Canada,thanx for sharing,it only takes two addicts to have a meeting.
