Good day today, Monday normally holds so much dread for me but today, just like any other day.

Work passed quickly and without bother, gym now on the sofa watching t.v. with the better half.

Life is peaceful, quiet, stress free and amazing. Can't believe I have taken so long to get to this point. Like something just clicked in my brain.

Still keeping on top of it though, not taking the last 30 days foregranted

Angry day today, don't know why, just one of those days I suppose.

Alcohol crossed my mind a few times, I'm not going to lie. Just feel that I don't know how to completely relax without booze. Never fully shut my brain off like booze does (which I know is a bad thing).

All good though, not going to drink and gym sorted the mood out.

Still angry today, not happy in work which is affecting my mood. Going to boxercise tonight which will get rid of my frustration for sure.

The thing that I've learnt is, I'm not happy in work, I sort it out. Masking the problem with alcohol does not, has not and never will work.

Good job working through it Bluebird. Keep at it.

Bluebird1927

Thank you. Just back from boxercise, great way to get fit and release a lot a of pent up frustration. Would never have survived an hour class when drinking. Things keep getting and better

Currently craving quite badly, due to tiredness I think. I'm going to drink plenty of water, eat loads of food and get over it. Got too many sober plans this weekend to let alcohol ruin it.

Things getting me down work wise but I'm not going to let it get to me. This bank holiday weekend is just what I need.

Lovely day today, went to see my mates son as it was his first birthday, gym session, saw family now chilling with some food. Great start to the weekend, hope you're all enjoying :-)

You're doing great Bluebird

Thank you both :-)

Another sober bank holiday out of the way. Starting to feel much better, anger abating, probably linked to the fact that I'm not in work. I have two weeks leave coming up soon so hanging on to that fact

Good day in work thanks to three days of lovely lie ins. Sleep is a massive thing I miss when drinking. It really does regulate moods, cravings, everything.

Well day 40 for me today, 40 days and 40 nights without alcohol. This is the longest I've been without it for years and years and it feels amazing!!

I couldn't have got this far without massive help from this forum so everyone who has encouraged me, advised me and told me some hard honest truth, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I mustn't rest on my laurels though, the battle is ongoing and I understand this now. Thank you

Forty days is great! Keep going.

Fantastic achievement Bluebird. Keep on keeping on, and it's great to see that you still recognize the need to be vigilant, even in the face of good times. But certainly enjoy it too...you've worked hard and deserve it.

Bluebird1927

Thank you, your honesty and insight is very much appreciated

Bluebird1927

Thank you very much. Yes that is the big change for me, I've become complacent in the past, not making that same mistake again
