@Stardust334267 I feel better about it today, I am repurposing that feeling I had yesterday and using it to fuel my recovery. I can’t waste more time now. I’m going to a meeting tonight and been reading the big book. Thanks and all the best to you too

Logged into this acc for the 1st time in ages, saw my soberdate in bio as 09/2021. Knocked my stomach a bit-on day 5 today. Back then I really thought that was it, I’d had enough; had tried so many times to sober up. Here I am two yrs later on day 5 1/2 #RecoveryPosse

@sober_laddi Thank you mate I appreciate it

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

I think this really is the time though, I’ve had so much happen in those two years and they were by far the worst years of my using. It’s just blunt reminder I wasn’t expecting that this is a long term chronic issue, it was like a punch to the throat #RecoveryPosse

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

I feel surprisingly positive this time. Usually I feel depressed and full of dread when I decide to quit but not now. I returning to uni in two weeks and that’s got me feeling ready for it, bring it on. It would be the perfect birthday gift for my mom #RecoveryPosse

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

Today is my moms birthday and it’s day 1 (again) for me. I’ve recently been given some news that my gp has concerns I’ve damaged my liver after a recent blood test, I’ve had internal pain around the liver for months. I’ve got to stop drinking and using, #RecoveryPosse 1/2

@AddictedPurpose @WordsUn80910508 @grateful_mess @SoberGlenn @ExGambler4Life @RecoveredAlcoh2 @mo0nlightvoid Thank you mate. I am grateful for, and to, my Mother who has bore the brunt of all my negative behaviours while in addiction and is still by my side today helping me along this road to sobriety.

Happy New Year today and I hope you are all safe and doing well #RecoveryPosse

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

Here I am once again, sober. 7 days so far and now my 8th onto, I am feeling surprisingly good. I've been attending meetings and I feel mostly positive but, I have this simmering anger just beneath the surface waiting for any reason to surface. How to deal with it? #RecoveryPosse

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@JM_BT But as already said here, we never did drink ‘normally’ and just try to appreciate how much better our lives are without drink and drugs. It is really, isn’t it?

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@JM_BT I always remember being a young lad, 20, just started drinking at 18 and a uncle who himself is a recovering alcoholic. He said if I didn’t get control then I’d forever regret it and I’d never be able to drink ‘normally’. How right he was and it breaks my heart to this day.

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

Addiction is a strange condition. I can’t stop falling despite better times and longer sober periods. My issue is feeling completely lonely despite being surrounded by people, why is that? I have people who love care for me yet I constantly feel helplessly alone. #RecoveryPosse

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@MrsHamster1 Thanks, I’m going to walk the dog quickly and then get off to bed. Tomorrow is another one.

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

I’ve been falling off the wagon a lot lately then getting back on to fall once more, but it’s getting better and the sober periods longer. Tonight has been one of those nights though where all I can do is think about drink or getting fucked up, all thats on my mind #RecoveryPosse

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@eastlancsaa Thanks so much for the help, it’s really appreciated. I’ll be getting along to as many meetings as possible.

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

Is there any idea about when NA face to face meetings might return in the UK? #RecoveryPosse

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@eastlancsaa Thanks mate. I’m in the Yardley area. I’ve been to local AA meetings and they’re a god send tbh. I’ve not kept completely sober but I’m on the right path drinking and using a lot less. Would never have happened without meetings, NA is normally my preference but thankful for AA.

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@dags7786 Thanks for that man I’m in Birmingham though, appreciate you reaching out

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@Recovery_Man Hey man, thanks for letting me know. I’m in Birmingham though but thanks mate

[SoberEye @EyeSober]

@GeorgeC195 Cheers man that would be great. On the site it just says no face to face meetings being held until there is another meeting, the last update was around the 5th I think. Online meetings really don’t do it for me at all.
