205 Days Sober
I don't want to fall again. I had a spurt of a year and a half a couple years ago, and the longest spurt of being sober was for 10 years. If I could fall after 10 years, after a year and a half, I could fall now. I've had some days when I was tempted. I made it through. I've been feeling alone lately. I don't fit in at church. I hate sitting alone. I'm not sure how to relate to those around me. I don't always fit in at work. No, I fit in at work. It's the "hanging out" with coworkers when not at work. That's where I don't fit in. I'm Mormon, I'm different. I can't do social stuff because I want to live the gospel. But, I don't fit in at church either. So frustrating. Last Sunday, I just hoped someone would come talk to me. I know I need to make an effort as well. I need to try to be a friend. I've been doing my visiting teaching. But, I haven't been visit taught in almost 2 years. I wish someone would ask me how I'm doing with my scripture reading, with my personal prayers. I was doing great at reading the scriptures (I need to be more diligent). I have read about the importance of dailies in staying sober. But, I wish I had someone else to be accountable to other than myself and the Lord. If you home teach or visit teach, ask. The gospel is true, I guess that's all that really matters. Good things have happened too. I was able to return to the temple. I made progress in family history. I've been better at gospel study then I had in years. I have more confidence in approaching Heavenly Father. One day at a time I guess.
