Have you ever been suppressed form the way that you feel?
Like you don't know which emotions are real?
You manage to catch yourself right in present time.
But you're gone, you're somewhere trapped in your mind.
Have you ever felt totally above yourself?
Look down below and you see yourself.

Normalize sobriety!
• normalize going to a meeting after a hard day instead of having a drink
• normalize setting boundaries with those you care about who use/drink
• normalize carrying around your sober chips!
• normalize “Thanks for the offer but I don’t do that anymore”
• normalize not going certain places because you may drink/use
• normalize having a sponsor
• normalize changing your people places and things
• normalize seeking the help you need and deserve
Normalize soberity because some of us need to stay sober to be happy and healthy!

Day 3
I’ve had so many day 3 I can’t even tell you. Someday there will be a last day 3, it’s too soon to tell if this is the one. I have to just take everything one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one week at a time. All I think about is using. I wish I could take a pill to get rid of those urges, but isn’t that the problem in the first place? Just wanting to take a “pill” of some kind to fix my problems? Facing this thing head on is really hard, and I feel like I have so many eyes on me all the time. My aunt and uncle, I know, don’t trust that this will be the last time. They had never quite seen the severity of my problem until the day I made my first post and ever since then I feel like a charity case, like they are constantly surveilling me. “Can I go to a meeting with you?” “We are here for you.” “How are you feeling today?” 
How am I supposed to answer those questions? “My meeting leader said it’s best to come alone.” (No, you can’t come to a meeting with me. We’re all our most honest selves when our families AREN’T around. Family trauma is partially why I’m in this position in the first place!) “I know, thank you.” (I know you’re here for me, but I feel smothered. I feel infantilized.) “I feel fine.” (Today I feel like I want to use, and it’s the only thing I can think about. You constantly checking in on me makes me feel worse, makes me feel like I can’t even trust myself. Like you can’t trust me. I feel like I need to move out of this house for my sanity. I feel like I’m grasping at straws to find any semblance of independence.) “I feel totally fine.” 
I need people in my corner, absolutely. That fact I will never deny. There are certain types of people, however, that are far more... I don’t want to say valuable but I will say valuable to my journey than my aunt and uncle. They would never want to hear that, and of course I’m never going to tell them because they have the best of intentions but really, they have NO clue what I’m going through. They have NO clue what kind of trauma I’ve dealt with in my life. They know, to some extent, the trauma that my immediate family put me through. The divorce, the step parents, my brother’s physical and emotional abuse towards me. I tried to open up the other day about the other non-familial traumas that I’ve been through and it was clear immediately they didn’t know how to handle that. This is what I’ve been trying to tell them. They constantly ask “how can I help you?” I DON’T KNOW. I’m in a constant state of grieving and that is not something a grieving person can answer. I don’t know how you can help me because you guys don’t understand. You have everything. You have each other, beautiful children, multiple homes, cars, stability, a healthy relationship with food and alcohol, never done drugs, little to no debilitating trauma. I don’t know how you can help. 
I need people like me in my corner. I know it sounds counterintuitive, like the blind leading the blind but that’s the truth of the situation. That’s the only way I’ll make it through. In group therapy we like to think of it as creating a chain. Everyday we extend (virtually) a hand to the next “sister” (I don’t love that that’s the phrasing this group uses because I think it is a bit cis normative but whatever I will overlook that for now) to promise another 24 hours of sobriety. We hold each other accountable, and when we do it it feels more supportive than accusatory or shameful. That’s the vast difference in the way “Help” feels from them and my family, because my sisters know. They understand. We can connect on a level that even those who have known me my whole life will never understand.

Today I went to back to back meetings. A women’s meeting (which was the first time I had been to an all women meeting) and my regular Power Hour.
I shared how yesterday I was really struggling with the fact that I am 25 and will spend the rest of my life not drinking. I was meditating and reading my daily reflection, when I asked for a sign that I was on the right path. My daily reflection was about service, and doing a service for others out of nothing but kindness. So I was walking the beach later that morning when I saw a bird chasing after something. It was chasing after a crab. So I ran up to the bird and scared it off and tried to save the crab. I ended up saving the crab, and as I walked away I turned around and saw that the bird had an factory grab the crab after I had saved it. This only led me to self doubt and confusion as to what path I should be on. Still struggling, later on that night I pulled out my big book. I placed it towards my heart, and prayed that I would read a story that are related to. A story that would guide me along this path. I prayed for a sign. When I open the book the story was about a young woman who at the age of 18 was already an alcoholic. She found AA end it saved and changed her life forever. She had a few relapses but she spent the rest of her life not drinking alcohol.
this was my sign that I was on the right path and that it was OK that I was gonna spend the rest of my life not drinking. There’s a man named Bob in my meeting and he said “ Life is better without alcohol, and the life I live I’ll be able to remember it” so I encourage you do use your big book, meditation, and prayer to guide you along your path of sobriety. Reach out when you need help and always be honest with yourself and those around you, you never know where you’re going to find inspiration it.

On the 1st of March, 2020, I decided I wasn't going to drink again. After a fun night out for my boyfriends birthday, I woke in the morning with a hangover and said "I dont want to feel like this again, I'm done"

14 Feb 2020
For the past few days, I’ve tried things I’ve never tried before.
I’ve meditated to strange chanting. I’ve saved affirmations as wallpaper on my phone and checked them regularly. I’ve set alarm reminders to stop and breathe every hour. I’ve journaled my gratitude. I’ve drawn. I’ve had essential oil baths. I’ve held on tight to a string of beads when I've felt as though my insides are going to snap. I’ve leaned on the amazing people in various sober Facebook groups.
But the biggest thing of all is I HAVEN’T DRUNK ANY ALCOHOL. My biggest and baddest trigger is my trip home from work. I walk 20 minutes to my car, past a bottle shop. I drive 30 minutes past 3 bottle shops. And last night I had to pick my daughter up from circus. I had 30 minutes to kill, which would normally see me sculling wine or cider the whole time.
Last night, the angst I felt was so strong I swear I could see it manifested as a dark cloud in front of me. As I walked past the bottle shop I thought “Yup. I’m having an alcohol craving.” I clutched my string of beads tightly and moved my feet. As I drove past the bottle shops I thought “I’m having a craving for alcohol.” I listed out loud the sensations in my body. I surfed the feelings.
I got to the car park to collect my daughter and cried over my steering wheel. I yelled a bit. I collected my daughter and she gave me a big, warm, tender hug. She asked me how long I hadn’t had a drink for, then said she was proud of me. I made it through another day. I’m so grateful.

Well here it is, Day 100! Initially I thought today would see me going out get absolutely blitzed 🙈 Honestly I just can’t tell you how grateful I am that I don’t have to do that! . I’ve had two holidays, a weekend away, a couple of birthdays and a whole lot of shit going on that I really don’t need to go into and I’m proud to say I did it all alcohol free 😍 I honestly believe I just wouldn’t have been able to handle my life this last few months with the hangovers I used to get and the tiredness I felt every single day of my life due to over indulging every weekend and partaking in a white wine Wednesday and thirsty Thursday every now and again! I have learned so much in this 100 days about myself and I am loving this journey, the people I have met both in real life and online have truly inspired me and I am grateful to every single one of them! I must admit though there has been a few side effects to me stopping drinking I thought I’d list them here for anyone thinking of giving it a go! Here goes: I have found new ways to relax, I’m learning to confront me feelings head on, my skin looks great, I am more productive, I sleep like a baby, I love books, who knew?, my anxiety levels have dropped, I have more time for my family and friends. I listen more, I dance around my kitchen, I laugh more, I’ve watched a whole tv series and not fell asleep, I love mornings, my hair feels amazing, I like myself again, I’ve stopped wasting money, I have more energy, I’ve not missed one day of work, I remember my appointments and actually turn up, I enjoy all the little things in life, I smile (like all the time) And it’s genuine, I’m more grateful, I have more time, I’m happier than I have ever been from the inside! And now here’s the disadvantages of stopping drinking •People think your weird! So there you have it, here’s to a 100 more days and a massive thank you to my family and friends. I love you ❤️ . . #sobrietyrocks #instahappy #instalife #happy #life #sobriety #recovery #100days #soberlife #soberoctober #drinking #soberstory #theunexpectedjoyofbeingsober #soberdiaries #sobersisters #soberissexy #soberliving #inspiration #motivation #livingmybestlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BpB2FZYh7dc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wpznjukfaxa4
