103 Days Sober: Expanding my “stupid” file

Posted by on 2 Comments

Lots of things about my drinking were head smacking stupid, I’m expanding my stupid file

Many of my actions belong under that label — before, during, and after drinking. Sick not weak is true, but I had some bone-headed choices that made my situation more painful. Mental health was an issue, my stubborn pride was the deciding factor.

Maybe the mood stabilizer is helping life make sense again (as promised).

Maybe it’s just the AA promises coming true.

We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.

I’m starting to suspect the bafflement was in my head, not a part of the situation.

Honesty + connection is the foundation of recovery

It’s great how step one gets that right with the first two words

WE ADMITTED …

So, let’s keep being honest and let’s keep talking. Leave a comment below to start the conversation. That’s why I started this blog and I hope that’s why you’re reading.

    I still feel like I just have the worst luck. Unfortunately right now the things that are going on are not related to how I did something or didn’t do something. Moving and getting sober under 2 weeks is so hard. I’m hanging in there!! Might not be topic related but it’s all I have right now. I listed everything that went wrong this week on paper and it was a huge list. Sometimes I wonder if I’m letting those things go or not, but writing them down felt like they were off my chest and on paper and I could move on . 🙂
