Resulted, Irritable and Discontent

I have spent the whole day irritable and pissed off and I don't even know why. And I don't even know what it's about. Feels pretty jacked up though. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

Yeah days like that sure are annoying. My first sponsor had this to say about them:

"Yes darling, there are some days when we're just not going to get any points for 'style'. smile  So we just don't drink and we try again tomorrow'.

It helped me remember that I'm human, and I'm not trying to learn how to walk on water, I'm just trying to learn to live sober. Hope this helps a bit.

I have quite a few days like that too. Everyday I can get through it without drinking makes me feel great.

    I saw my sponsor this evening, went over some step work and agreed that I definitely need to branch out my support group a bit more. God is good all the time.  Finishing out another day...sober.

SG, I felt the same way yesterday. Nothing went right! I like Dave's quote from his sponsor. Today is a new day!

    There is fresh mercy every morning...or any time we choose to receive it. I am real good at beating myself up...traits o a perfectionistic defect that I am praying will instead become a spirit of excellence. I am so very grateful for your support, everyone, that when I am in a funk you don't just point out al the crap that led me there but just mercifully and masterfully share how readily you can relate. (That means so much from others who have fought the same battle).  Thank you so much just for being here!
