a mutual enemy | keep it simple

[@EricWiseman-op9hm]

Today is 56 days complete at midnight and it's been fairly easy not to drink until the last few days when he relapsed it has me very frustrated. And just quite upset because it's frustrating living with active alcoholism while I'm trying to avoid drinking. I don't know about him but I can't afford to drink anymore, whether he can drink successfully or not is up to him to know, or find out. But it's pretty darn irritating because he got drunk, plays negative music I can't stand, starts dancing and grabbing me. I was actually considering a drink but thankfully I can come in my room and listen to your KZbin lessons so thank God for that way to share recovery. It sure helped me a lot tonight

56 days is great! definitely sounds like drunk behavior, lol, which i have been guilty of myself. what a gift that you find it so repulsive to be able to walk away from a drink. thats amazing. hang in there, keep going! we are in this together

Thanks for showing up 😊 and your hair is okay. I have this awesome friend from recovery that always checks up on me and always says kind words.

This is a good one! I agree completely on the importance of being able to share everything we face when fighting against alcoholism and see that these people have also experienced those things. And I feel like in the beginning having people cheer me on really helped me heal the shame too. It was like wow, everyone here wants everyone to be victorious against this thing! So cool. Thank you for this!!!! Love you!!!!!!! ❤

Yess, exactly! Same here, definitely. Thanks for your comment and for watching, love you!!

Wow this share helped me a lot..my sober roommate has relapsed and is being really annoying drunk..I am extremely frustrated and there are no meetings this late. And because he says he relapsed because everyone at our meeting "knows his business, I don't want to call anyone in "our group"..thank you for reminding me alcohol is the enemy not this man who has this disease. I'm also planning to attend the 6:30 meeting in the morning. I was actually frustrated beyond words I'm glad your teachings are online to share recovery and a lot of your insights help me a lot

[@VanessaWhatever_]

oh, that's a beautiful insight. i'm sorry you're going through that, it is still difficult, for sure. you can get through it though, i definitely believe in you and i hope he gets through it, too. hope the meeting was helpful! thanks for your comment

RIP Sam Kinison what a legend

That’s a very inspiring story about that woman who kept showing up. I’m going to hit a meeting this week. The last one I did I led even though I didn’t want to even share initially and it ended up giving me such a boost of motivation. A woman there told me my sharing helped her feel able to open up, she had a week sober (as I also did at the time) and she lit up after my share. It is so easy for me to get lost in the me me me my problems. Good reminder that giving to others is the path of healing

YESSS, Sam Kinison! So good. RIP. Aw, that is an amazing story! Yeah, others are definitely part of the healing. Very cool, thanks for sharing that :)
