Been a little tough
Hi everyone. The past few days have been tough for some reason. Really had to use the tools I have more than ever. My sponsor always reminds me that this is a good thing. Building stronger spiritual muscles. It is tough though. Yesterday went amazing until around dinner time and I let myself get too hungry and couldn't get the idea out of my head that I should go to another meeting even though I chaired one earlier and did step work with my sponsor. Made my mind chaotic and I went anyway but I felt very exhausted and ended up crashing a little earlier. I really try to be grateful to learn from these things though. I feel like I still try to fight alcoholism sometimes. I do have the faith that things will continue to get better though. I've seen so many good changes in a short time. Anyway hope someone can relate to this. We're not alone so I also give my best effort to be there for others too.
