As funny as this sounds, Naltrexone kinda makes me feel like I'm on opioids minus the high

I've been sober for a few 24 hours but I still get tripped up sometimes...I don't drink, but I still can still get into "stinkin' thinkin." I may sound like I've been brainwashed by AA, but I can't afford resentments. I've got fire in my belly today; the kind that would have sent me out drinking in the past.
I have a friend I go to baseball games and concerts with several times a year. I called & left a message to let him know what he owed me for a game we went to Saturday. I bought the tickets all the way back in March, which is a long fking time ago. He said he paid me back in March, which I didn't recall. It wasn't so much the fact that he thought he paid me, but it was the accusatory tone in his voice that shocked me. We've been friends for over 20 years, and his friendship was worth more than a few bucks to me. I'm not going to call him back until I settle down a bit...I just hate carrying around this resentment. ...So I thought I'd do an emotional drop here. Thanks for reading. |

Doing well. No AV chatter worth mentioning.

Hey all, it’s been a while since I posted here.
I did really well in abstaining from alcohol. I was sober for a year and a half but along side my nurse I was seeing, we thought I’d be okay to see if I can moderate. That must have been a year or over now but I have creeped up in usage again.. Now I am slowly cutting back and adding sober days by myself and looking forward to being sober again. I think it’s time to accept no amount of alcohol will do me any good. __________________   "To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive." Robert Louis Stevenson  |

Last time, I got sober by entering treatment. My mother paid for this as I did not have the means to afford it myself. I'm ashamed because I've let her down for no good reason. I feel like I have to hide it from her this time because of this. |

I went to the hospital because I was extremely sick after using again last night. They're referring me to an addictions specialist.

There have been relatively few posts here lately. I guess everyone has been cured of their alcoholism/addiction. Sorry; I'm just being a smart arse...

So I'm thinking of getting a tattoo. I'd like to have a butterfly and my sober date tattooed on my forearm. It'll be 5 years sober in Oct. and I'd like to get the tattoo kind of as a celebratory thing..
The only thing holding me back is being slightly worried about the permanence of it. I mean if I tattoo the date, what happens if I slip up and drink. I mean I feel like my date is as permanent as it can be, but given my history I'm still a bit hesitant. __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun.
