Thanks Vivian, this post was written on a very bad day. As you can appreciate, there are a few of those. Writing it out on Recovery Princess is a helpful way for me to both vent and share my experience. I think that too many alcoholics think they are alone in what they feel and I am here to show that we all have tough times in sobriety but we must not give in.
Thanks for coming back!

Hi Madison,
I just came across your article and had to tell you that it is okay to be uncomfortable! This is truly the place where we grow. Don’t give up and don’t give in!

This blog post is right on the money, Madison. So nice to hear someone share from the heart!

And, if you will let me use a horrible cliche, “you are right where you need to be!” Ugh, I hate cliches, but that is what I thought when I read this post.

You are making real growth in your life and that is so obvious to us reading this…..give yourself a break now and realize that you are on the right path.

Thanks!

Just as I thought, the days since this one have been better. I think the trick is to always be aware if you are in a negative state of mind. That way you do the things that help to take you out of it. Journal or read or talk to a friend, all of these things help.

You’re doing great ! Just great !!
Stick with it, as I wouldn’t wish any of the severe health afflictions, alcohol silently carries, on even my worst enemy………………!
As it stripped everything from my late hubby & I………..little things like um, careers which equals income, travel, sports etc etc….!

If you’re friends abandon you, so what !
I lost more relatives & friends when Gary died, as they couldn’t handle my sorrow, therefore I’m far better off without the lot of them !

God Bless & take care…..
You’ve got your entire beautiful healthy life ahead of you to enjoy & treasure………..!

Hi Madison,

I don’t mean to bug you but I sent an email responding to your post about wanting to post for recovery princess.com. I included a sample post called: What happened what my feelings came back.

Could you let me know either way if you’d like to work with me? PS I changed the url for my blog.

Thanks

Anne
