One day at a time

I am a recovering food addict and a recovering alcoholic. I always say one meal at a time when it comes to the food addiction that we face daily. 

With being an   alcoholic I deal with one day at a time. I don't deal with wanting to drink. I deal with not wanting to feel pain. Being numb for such a long time in my life has made it hard to feel. 

I know now my life is much better now that I am sober. 

This is something I saw tonight that I think a lot of us could use. It can be any addiction. 

I honestly wish I knew how to know you. Or me or anyone.

A-******g-men. 

God bless you!

That's great,  wishing you continued success.

I LOVE this! 

Thanks so much for this, it nearly brought me to tears.  Today is Day 2 of sobriety for me.  As I mentioned in my post, I lost my husband and started drinking almost daily and gained 50 lbs back.  But what you just posted I think will help me tremendously!! I need to post it all around my house and job!

I wouldn't post it around your job. Unless you want people to know about your sobriety. I really don't care if people know I had RNY. But my drinking I do not want anyone to know. 

It could cause problems down the road with employment. 

I am sorry about you losing your husband. It is not easy to be alone. If you are not going to meetings it may be a good idea to go to them. I know they helped me a lot. 

Having the support does help. The group really wants to help. 

Best wishes to you. 

Thanks for your response.  One day at a time for me is for my sobriety and weight loss and grief...No one will ever know what I'm referring to but me.
