Hey Class!
Dee - thanks for the links and made some progress finding a location. I was told that I could come in but there's no guarantee I'd be seen the same day. Nice! On the other hand, I have an appointment set but it's not until 2/26.
I'm hoping it's just a lingering flu but if things don't shape up soon, I may have to take other measures.
On the bright side, I received a training packet for a new job opp which is absolutely overwhelming. There is no way this could be accomplished with beer in hand. So, I'm studying like a mad woman.
I only skimmed the last several threads and thanks for all the good thoughts. :ghug3
Off to bed then waking up hangover-free with more studying.
Peace out fellow class mates!

morning all
Thanks for the present Bernie
Did you sleep well.I had an amazing sleep for first time in ages,feel groggy now but better than hungover
FDM-good to hear you areok. Be happy and good luck in your new home
Mittens- sticking round SR is a great idea. Do you like reading books? I've read some that help with positive thinking and in turn cement me not drinking
Cat-good to hear from you and that you've got a doc app February will be here soon and hopefully it eases your mind somewhat.
congrats on 26 days Charlie
Day 28 for me. Month nearly over.I'm trying to focus on moving forward now,hoping days 30-60 are not as hard.trying to think of changes/building on what I've done.Suppose continuing eating healthily and regular exercise is a start. I'm reading about positive thinking and changing mindsets. I am concerned as got to 40 days twice last year,got hit with cravings totally out of the blue and drank for months.Maybe my nerves are psychological, I just don't want to be too confident. Has anyone else got to a month etc before and then drunk and feeling nervous now?

Day 8 here, and after two nights break, I re-visited insomnia and sweats last night! I thought I was through it!?
Anyway, onwards and upwards - not back to work until next week when the kiddies are back to school so still have some days where I can not be "firing on all for cylindars". Off for a windy walk on the beach and then back for some lego building and hopefully a better nights sleep
Have a good day peeps x

Thanks to everyone for the support. On day 2 here and feeling strong. Started looking at the SPCA for dogs that might get along with my BF's cat. :-) Boredom has definitely been hard on my sobriety - so a dog would definitely give me something to keep me busy.
Ready - I am an avid reader, so any suggestions would be welcome! My doc actually recommended one - "The Mindful Way Through Depression" - a lot of the techniques seem to be helpful with sobriety too. Sort of like the urge surfing. I did my first meditation exercises last night -I think it might really be helpful.

Today I'm feeling good (well, as well as can be expected), but I don't ever have the cravings. Only on a few occasions that I was on my way to the closest carryout to grab some smokes that I thought of grabbing a pack but quickly changed my mind knowing it would NOT be a good decision.
I'm on a serious deadline with training for a new job and can't blow it as what apparently happened with the last gig while drinking. I'm sure all of us have experienced in our days that jobs, relationships, possessions, etc. are all compromised when excessive drinking comes into play. Although we think "we can have just one", that is never the case for a full-blown alkie.
Time for me to get my brain cells working in high gear.
Best wishes for everyone's sobriety and have an awesome day!

Don't worry Bernie,moan away Mine stopped about week 2 I think. No advice other than water/food/sleepreally.hope you feelbetter soon
thanks Cat.Its scary how we can be sober so long and committed yet then drink again.I can't do it again
have a safe journey courage
Mittens- I've got a couple ofbooks by Eckhart tolle about living in the present,letting go of the past and not worrying about the future which are very good,though a bit heavy.
However, my favourite is one that I saw recommended on here.Its by a Robert Isett and is called 'Think Right, Feel Right'.Its a few dollars/pounds on Amazon. Its very easy to digest,good for a beginner,like me,to this sort of material.It teaches you (not just tells you) how to think positively,have self worth/value and banish negative thoughts.I'm going to read it again when I've finished it
