Sharing, Shame & Guilt

April 19, 2023

Woke up in a good mood and not feeling bad about yesterday, today is another day and yesterday was put to rest, ending on a good note.

Started the day with a morning online meeting – what’s good about today? Did a share about due to sticking to a daily structure I have my day planned out and have good plans ahead for today. Felt good to share and got some nice feedback from fellows in the meeting.

Had a nice deep chat with a family member today, who was reassuring me about the progress I have made. Felt warm to be able to speak with the family again in a nice way, and have started to make plans for a catch-up.

Spent a lot of today building more of the MODAAT website, it is coming along nicely and can’t wait to have it live with my daily reflections on it. As I am building it from scratch, I was really designing different layouts and testing them to see what I liked best. Also thinking more about what pages and things I want the website to show.

Had my first evening aftercare meeting, rehab provided this for aftercare. It was all about shame and guilt – for which I shared the guilt of drinking to excess and blacking out, then the shame of waking up the next day not remembering calling people or sending messages etc. I can see the benefit in these meetings and have another 11 weeks left, so I will be taking full advantage of the knowledge and advice I receive from them.

Another chilled evening, watching a film, good home-cooked food and bed.

Let’s keep the feeling of being on cloud 9 going!
