hey all,
well it seems quite a few of us on the board are struggling. Came here to find some solace, words of comfort and encourage, but also let you all know I am still sober (113 days today!) even with the challenges in my life.
Ironically, or not, my choosing sobriety and having to stay away from family (cut visit with brother short as too much stuff and alcohol around to trigger me) has led me to now living in a shelter and having to surrender my cat of nine years.
The good news is that I may be able to be reuited with Jules Verne (cat) once I get stabilized in work and home.
I'm starting intensive therapy (group and solo) next week, and will be seeing a SA counselor. My stuff is being triggered quite a bit, and no longer using alcohol to numb the feelings brings a lot to the surface.
Anyway, I'm keeping hopeful while I go through the hard work.
I'll check in here as I'm able.
Much Love to all,
(you help keep me strong)
Marguerite
