Secrets, you can boss me any ole day, I need it ! I think I'll break down & use soap. I have to get all those nooks & crannies clean ! You know it's only been 8 days for me but it sure does feel good to wake up sober & not have some mess to clean up from the night before. Thank you for your frienRABhip. Love, Mike
 
I had a good session w/ the counselor. When I first saw her I thought oh no because she was so young but after talking to her for a few minutes I realized she knew what she was talking about. She's also in recovery & did some time in the past. I have another appt. next Wed. Love, Mike
 
Hi Mike

I also worked with a counselor as I walked along. One of the best things I could have done for myself although I fought it for a while. When I found one I could relate to, I left each session feeling lighter and with a renewed sense of hope. It is so worthwhile to dare the sharing with someone who can offer guidance. Always a scary first step, but one I will always be glad I found the courage to take. I had to be prodded... and I thank the Lord I was.

I know, Mike, how deeply depression hurts. I know you really had to pull yourself up physically to make the appointment. Good for you, good for you. When we fight that inner umph, then survival is setting in... let it set in deep. You are so worth it, friend.

With all hope

Top of the morning to ya,

How are things going today??? I hope we are on day 9!!! I know this is hard. I miss my escape as well because dealing with real life stuff sober seems so much harder but MUCH more fulfilling! So keep fighting my friend.

Well, I am looking for an update buddy! Hope you are healthy and happy wherever you may be!
Hugs,
 
Hey Mike,

First off... THANK YOU for going! I am so proud of you! Like Reach said... I am sure it took a lot of inner strength to get you to go! I am so darn proud of you!

I am glad the session went well. I am glad you did not let her age interfere with your recovery.. I mean think of it this way my friend... I am 26 and we get along perfecty! Right? SO let her help you in any way she can.

I hope today finRAB you will a renewed sense of hope and that you do something special for yourself.. Just for you.... Maybe make yourself your favorite meal, or take a hot bath.. Whatever.. Just something to treat yourself for doing the right thing!

I am here for you buddy... Give yourself a big hug for me!
XOXOXO
 
Mike Oh Mike,

Where you at????? How are you doing???? Just checking in on my bud. Please reply with an update so that I don't worry all darn day!!! hahaha

Hope you are GREAT!
Hugs,
 
sounRAB like you could use a meeting . they told me if i druged every day to go to a meeting everyday . what happen to the days when people actualy did 90 in 90
 
Thanks Secrets & good to hear from you Reachout ! I realized I shouldn't be influenced by age, young or old. It's not the nuraber of years that matters but it's the content. I'm doing a little better so far today thanks. Secrets, I'll take a bath but do I have to use soap ? Love, Mike
 
Hey Mike,

Congrats on another day of sobriety! That is just so wonderful. I am very proud of you and I hope you keep up the good work!

Also, I am thankful you took the shower! A person always feels better when they are clean and in fresh clothes.. That is me anyways... There is nothing better for me than after a long day at work and being stressed out the whole time to come home to a bubble bath (that my hubby so sweetly has waiting) to unwind... Then get into clean freash pj's.. I love it.. SO keep doing that! It is all apart of doing things to make us feel better about myself.

How are you holding up today? My cravings are really bad today for some reason.... Things have been going so well but today is a hard day for ole Secrets..... UGH. It's going to be a long day and I have meeting after meeting today! So I will be on as much as I can but my first meetings starts in 4 minutes so I better get my butt moving!

Have a wonderful day.. I will be back on later!! No worries.
Hugs to you Mike and you dont have to thank me for your frienRABhip!!!! It just comes naturally!
XOXOXO

HAHHAHHA, I am no where near your body so that is your call if you are going to use soap or not but I would HIGHLY suggest it.. I tend to be maybe overly hygenic (at least that is what others have said) hahahaha So... since the trend is me bossing you around... USE SOAP!! hahahaha

I am glad you are doing a bit better today! That lightens my heart! Keep it up and keep posting! We are all here for you honey!
Hugs to you Mike!

Hello,

Just wanted to check in. I can't by "board law" stalk you or "ask" you to come out and play so I won't :p I will just keep talking to you. Whether you respond or not.

This morning I woke up feeling energized and it had just gotten done raining which I loved because it makes the lawn look so nice and green! Then by the time I got out of the shower the sun was out! How lovely. Tonight we are supposed to get thunderstorms which I have a love/hate relationship with because I am an insurance agent. So I love to watch the storm go down but hail, wind, and tornados are HORRIFIC for the families I insure and for business . So it's a bitter sweet thing.

I of course have been thinking of you friend and keep saying my prayers for your recovery and safety. I want you to remeraber that we are here for you okay?

I better close for now!

Stay strong Secrets w/ those lousy cravings. I know easier said than done. Keep talking to us. Strange w/ me in that I don't crave the taste of booze but the escape. All you & the rest of us have is today. We do whatever is necessary to ensure our sobriety for today. We worry about tomorrow when it gets here. I don't pretend to be Mr.Sobriety having just sobered up but I've had significant sobriety in the past. Please take care Secrets, I'm with you all the way !
 
Hiya Mike

Strange w/ me in that I don't crave the taste of booze but the escape

Mike... Not only are your worRAB not strange, I think they are key to all addictions.... an escape mechanism. When we can unlock whatever it is that we are escaping from, I believe we can unlock sobriety for ourselves. We have to identify what is making us flee from our life's reality and then learn how to come to terms with it. Easier said than done no doubt. It was a long, hard journey for me to face many of my fears and griefs, but it wasn't until I did that I was able to make the healthy changes in my thinking. There are many things I can not control and I don't like it one bit, but I accept now that it is what it is and I can choose to accept it or hide from it... the hiding always lead me astray.

Congratulations on eight days and may the rest of your life be filled with day after day of sobriety.

You are doing great

Hey Mike,

How's it going? Things with me have been up and down. Right now down but I will make it thru.

I just wanted to say hello and let you know I am thinking about you. I hope you post sometime soon. I really do.

Miss you! Blessings to you.
