day 1

(((((((((((((((((( Angel ))))))))))))))))))))))

l know and hear the struggles that you speak of and l hear them loud and clear hun. Many , many times l stumbled fell flat on my face and it took me a while to get back up. But you know what l did get back to my feet and you will too....................bad days and really bad bad moments will be there to tempt you and entice you especially if other things surface, but hun remember this they will resurface eventually and hiding them in a bottle can only last so long.

For now hun focus on all the good that you are doing and achieving each and every minute..............dont sell your successes short to go even a few hours is so very good. Reward yourself with a good nutrious meal ofr film but most of all be gentle with you. I am here for you hunny and if ever you need to talk , vent, shout or scream pm me and you will always have a willing shoulder. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

Well done and much love

this is so hard , remembering, fighting me all the time
what do i do?
sorry

Accept yourself as you are. Accept your past as a part of you. Be comfortable with yourself and stop fighting yourself. Let the past be in the past, and move on to a better future.

Today is a new day! Everyday is a new beginning. I'm in your corner. I love you!!! Keep coming back and posting. Give time time. It will get better cause you'll get better! Don't get up 5 minutes before the miracle happens.

These are wise words, Angel.

It may take a wee bit of time, but you will reach the point of no longer making this your sole identity...it will not define who you are. Apart of who you are, yes. The only part? No.

Angel, again I ask you to please stop saying you are sorry...
We understand and accept that you are doing your best. There are no conditions to our love and support for you.
Be kind to yourself, as kind as you are to others when you give support.

Peace,
Cap

i can do this, i can

i am so angry, i dunno what to do, why does this hsppen when i am sober
my head feels like it is going to blow
i hate this , why cant i be normal

Angel,
You are normal for a person fighting to be clean and/or sober.
Blow from anger? At yourself? Someone or something else?
All of it?

Jme, but I had to separate these things because I was overwhelmed...and afraid of my anger.
It became necessary for me to take things ten minutes at a time, talk with my sponsor, weep from frustration, and tell the world to FO.
I absolutely hated that four-letter word--TIME-- because I wanted all the crap to stop Now...not tomorrow, not next week, but Now.
My sponsor was rather direct in telling me, TS. (tough s**t)
It was part of the process whether I liked it or not, and I did not like it at all.

You can do this, Angel.
Keep posting.
If you can't love yourself right now, accept our love until you can...

Guilt and shame are a waste of energy--they will suck you dry.

Here if you need anything

Peace,
Cap

Told you before wifey. Get a punching bad, and pummel that thing when that anger comes up. It doesn't have to be a real punching bag, just a pillow, or old quilt, just something that won't hurt you to hit, and that won't matter if you tear it up by punching it. It will feel good getting it out. And you won't feel overwhelmed by anger then.

Hold in there Angel, I believe in you and know you can do it. If you ever need to talk you can PM me if you want. I wish you all the best in your journey, you can do it. Take care. Hope to hear from you soon.
