I bought a bike today and did a ridiculous amount of riding -- I'm sore Nice close to day 20. I likely by a new car this weekend although I don't need one. Perhaps a Camaro or Mustang convertible!!

Fallow

Thats fun Big C. I havent had a bike in many years. Id love to get one and work it into a fitness program but there it sits in the maybe someday pile.

@Fallow--I just got a $100 cruiser at Walmart so if this is just a "bike phase" I won't feel to bad about not using it. Lol

A bike sounds like a great idea! Thanks for that BigC.

Well day 18 is about done. I made it through. I had some strong cravings today and some anxiety that made me pace. Sometimes I just can't sit still! I was at work so could not take time for a walk but got up to run papers, get water, etc just to get out of my chair.

Tomorrow is sure to be easier :-) I hope everyone is doing well.

Maybe you can start by declaring a day one again Toddle?
We all have to start somewhere?

RecoveringMay

Hi everyone. 1 month for me today, the longest time in my adult life not drinking. Feeling quiet proud.

Dee74

That's a really great achievement RecoveringMay - congratulations

Sorry to hear you're struggling Toddle, just remember that alcohol can only make the situation worse.

Congratulations Recoveringmay that's a big milestone.

Decided to go out and play pool and watch football last night. I was tempted but only until I realised that the pressure I felt on me to drink was far greater than my desire to drink, and then it was easy not to. And the pressure I felt was entirely of my own making, my buddy didn't say a word when I asked for soda!

We can do this Minion!

Well done recoveringMay. A month is a big deal.

Supersonic... is there some other way to do the things you enjoy that don't involve going to a pub? Sounds like an unnecessary risk to me. Grabbing the rattlesnake by the tail instead of running the hell away! Good luck.

Well done everybody. 24 days for me today. :-)

I need to start really working on some sort of program soon. I just read a book called High Sobriety by Alice King. A wealthy and successful wine journalist who spiralled downwards. She's a good writer, It's an inspiring read. She is very posh though.

Nice job recoveringmay!

I will need to take a look at High Sobriety, I am always looking for recovery book reads. Thanks Gwen.

After a frustrating Wednesday, I am hoping Thursday brings less stress. Enjoy the day everyone!

What's going on Toddle?

Congratulations RecoveringMay!

Starting up day 19 here.

TheBigC

Good morning good morning from the rainy northeast!! Day 21 here woke up with a headache but a aspirin will quell that! Stay strong everyone!!

Had an alcohol/anxiety dream last night. In it, I walked into a room full of my entire family drinking wine. And I immediately got out my phone and tried calling several people from AA and no one was picking up! I was so annoyed at the fact that everyone was drinking wine and I couldn't. I could even smell it.
So now I've woken up with a craving for it, even though I'm definitely not going to have any. Stupid dreams!
