Thank you all for the kind words, feedback and support.
I offer much positive and good vibes to everyone trying to better themselves, their lives, and those around them.
The trouble I have is this is just like groundhog day for me, been through this all before...but what is going to change this time? Why is it different?
That is what I struggle with - like why can some people enjoy the pot recreationally but me, once I start, its snowball city and it becomes a daily habit again....very frustrating, which leads to nothing positive.

The fact is when I smoked, I smoked big...it took over my life. I don't want that anymore so I had to quit.
If you look at it that way what other people do is kinda irrelevant?

Good evening everyone!
70 degrees here in my neck of the woods! Tomorrow, we have a winter storm warning. Thursday in the morning it'll be 9 degrees, and back to 56 on Friday.
Why am I talking about the weather? I have no idea! :-P
So today is my day 3. I have been through this before. I am quite used to being sober, but I am really struggling mentally about my slip up this past weekend. I have had a lot of negative self-talk about it in my brain.
I totally gave in to my AV! You know it would have been really easy to ignore that and give myself credit for a year, but I need to hold myself accountable. If I don't hold myself accountable, nobody else will. I believe when I make it to a year NEXT March, it'll feel all the more sweeter!
So here I am back to the single digits. I am telling myself it's ok. (But the truth is, I am also sort of beating myself up about it.) Now that I have quit drinking in February of 2013, people around me are quite used to me not drinking. They really don't care if I drink. Or even worse, they enjoyed having a few with me again.
I guess what I'm saying is this time around, my sobriety feels more personal than last time around. I am more determined to give it up and not pick up again.
Dee: Do they still have the "sober weekend" threads every weekend? Those were always a big help for me as they offered a little extra support during the days when I used to drink the most.

Hello, I'm just home from work. Enjoying a lonely pizza. Watching the Forsyte Saga? Hoping it will help fill the emptiness that is left now that I've finished Sherlock, Downton Abbey, and Top of the Lake. And I shall continue eating ...

Have you tried Doctor Who? There are ALOT of episodes to get through if you need to fill some time. I'm eating here too. My pre-dinner snack of buttered honey graham crackers. The most amazingly comforting food I know!
