Hi Jill,
Thought I'd start a separate thread just to you...know that I am here for you ~ especially since my oldest daughter (the one that is in the pic, is an adult and lives away from me, just a town over....), my youngest daughter is in rehab and my boyfriend works most nights down at the docks, he is a Longshoreman. So, I try to check in here on a daily basis to get another dose of recovery in addition to attending an AA meeting daily.
What I did in the early days of recovery (sobriety) was ask my Higher Power each morning to remove the obsession and craving for alcohol and drugs...then I journaled out my feelings everynight (and still do) and upon going to bed thanked my Higher Power for allowing me one more day of sobriety.
Have you taken Step 1 already:
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, and that our lives had become unmanageable.
This is the only Step I know I have to do 100% each and everyday....also notice that it states "We" twice in the sentence. Remember, Jill, you never have to do this thing alone, I'm here for you. You are an inspiration to me and helping me stay sober one day at a time too. Hang in there.

Hey Jill
Keep posting and keep the faith, god is there for you and you can always talk to your higher power whenever you feel lonely and who knows maybe there will be one of those coincidences at the hospital and you might meet someone who has a really good recovery that you can talk to. Sometimes i know for me that thinking of the wants and needs only buggas me up and i have to live each day and create the positives if i'm feeling down because sometimes a smile can create the greatest conversation with someone and my whole day is changed.
light and love Zac
