An excellent post! One thing that helped me is remembering that we only do this one day at a time. This disease does not take a holiday, so I can’t afford to take a holiday from sobriety. Someone in one of my meetings uses “Play the tape forward.” Long before you pick up that first drink, remind yourself of all the things that happened after you drank/got drunk. Those things are typically a deterrent since I don’t want to go through that pain again.

wombat wrote a new post, Isolation 2 years, 4 months ago
At the end of my using and drinking, in the terminal phase, I was very much inclined toward isolation. I didn’t feel connected to the people in my life, the few that remained. I didn’t feel like I could open up […]

I can so relate to this post. At the end of my drinking, I was totally isolating. Every day, I would come home from work and start drinking with the sole goal of getting to oblivion. I am not a social butterfly today and my sponsor calls me a loner. 🙂 But, I do love the people in the meetings here and in my local area. he

It always starts the same way.
Something, some small thing, goes wrong. No alarms go off, no immediate action is needed, but a fuse is lit. Construction has begun. A mole hill will soon become a mountain, and […]

God, grant me the.. what now? Serenity?
When I first heard someone mention serenity in these rooms, I wasn’t sure what to think. It seemed like such a lofty goal, and if I’m being honest, a bit of a reach. […]

This a beautiful remembrance, Brad, thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. We’re left with a silence where his voice used to be. I remember him from 2019 when I first joined this site. He walked the path we all should follow. God,
God,
Thank You for Matt’s example.
Help us stay sober,
carry their light,
and live the Principles
one day at a time.
Amen.
