Old Habits Die Hard
February 2nd, 2006
As I creep closer to that one year birthday of sobriety, I have this weird compulsion to relive all of the drama of last year. “How was I screwing everything up this time last year,” is the common question scrolling through the newsfeeder in my mind. Frankly, it doesn’t feel good so I don’t know why I do it. Eek, I’ve got to shake this funk of mine. Need to stop feeling sorry for myself and just deal, right?
Thank goodness for my knitting lesson tonight. I’m learning to purl…how cool is that?

I often freak out a little before my A.A. birthday. Hang in there, call your sponsor and get to meetings.
I think it’s a very natural thing feeling nervous at this time. Just imagine, you’ve gone on one full year without drinking - how cool is that? You can be very proud of yourself, it’s an immense step you’ve been doing, and I’m absolutely sure this time of reliving episodes will pass and you’ll be doing just fine! Hang in there - and do have fun purling! Best wishes from Austria!
Definetely a new beginning! It is not easy but I will definetely be praying for you. It’s not easy to give up something in your life that you are use to, it like becomes part of you but you can do it. The farther you get away from it the less control it has on your life! I am proud of you!
You are a warrior to have come this far you can do it! :o)
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
God bless you and yours! :o)
