Just made 31 days sober, and I want to throw it away. Swirling around with bipolar and all the other nonsense going on in my head, this is something that pills can't help me with. I am bored, alone and craving.

I look over the minutia of my life and I wonder what's the point. What's the point in trying to say sober, to try and lose weight, find a job or anything. There is no point to anything. Drowning in a deep abyss. I just want to matter. To someone, anyone. Lost, broken. Heartache, Heartbreak.

Just a mountain. The mountain is too high to climb....

I am sorry you are having a rough day. I had a tough time the first month or two then things got better as far as wanting a drink. All I can say is hang in there and maybe try to find something to do to take your mind off of it. I remember I used to go for a few walks a day. Going for a long walk and enjoying the scenery is something that will got me out of my head. Also, I liked to go to a café and get a cup of coffee. Going to the library or bookstore and finding something to read that interests you might help. Well, those are a few of the things I did. Just try to hang in there and tomorrow will be better hopefully. Take care.

I'm heading for one month sober. But I've had an easier ride than you. I really feel for you. I know how hard it can be. I see it in my mother who just can't stop, even though she's been lying for more than a year that she has.

You've done so well and been so strong to get to 31 days. I know you are struggling to feel proud of yourself, but I feel proud of you.

Good job on the 31 days. Just remember that it's the enemy in your head trying to convince you to drink.
