Good morning! I think. I am not sure if I truly slept though. Here I am nonetheless.

I was just checking out my Fitbit and thought this snapshot of my resting heart rate spoke volumes - highest when drinking and lowest today.....seven days in - it's worth it

Eh, the cool response was to the heart rate, not the depressed part...

Good morning March people!

Sam - now that you've made your disclaimer - you're allowed to be annoying. I think that is how it works. I really need to find my fitbit.

Apple - good morning. Hope you get to get in a nap.

Fabela - Hope your day has gone well. Sorry to hear you don't feel well.

Missy - hope things are going better than you expected.

BBG - um, this is your mother saying, "check in".

Goat - Sending you good vibes today. I think your appointment is soon. Oh yeah, I forgot to answer you. I'm up for the challenge. Whoever drinks first, the other one determines their signature.

Casey - nothing about manly and bath seem to go together. I wasn't going to say anything, but you brought it up. If you're going to take a bath - bubbles and a candle are necessary.

Okay - will write more later.

Have a spectacularly sober day, my friends.

Hi Missy,

I'm thinking of you and hope everything goes well in your meeting today & that stinks. When one door closes another BETTER one opens. :-)

Ok so it's time for me to be accountable.

I was doing really well, feeling better and really stacking up the days until last weekend when I had an unexpected encounter with my extremely toxic, abusive mother.

It sent me into a tail spin and I had a panic attack.

The solution? Drink! I didn't drink much but I DID drink. It made me feel sick so I stopped. And guess what? It didn't fix a damn thing! It only made things worse! Surprise surprise!

Anyway, talked to my AA sponsor for 2 hours that day and we added more tools.

4 days. (Sobriety date June 5, 2016) I will NEVER give up!

Hope you all have a good day.

She's hanging in there. Thx for asking Bobbie! I can't go see her because my toxic mother is always there and she's a danger to my sobriety right now. :-(

Just don't give up. You're going to do this. You are the most determined person I know. BTW - I think you forgot to post our morning meditation.

I've been so dreading checking in. I drank and I'm so ashamed for doing so. But when Mother says check in I gotta' check in!!!

My last bender was for two weeks and this one is for four days. In my opinion though improvement doesn't count. I gotta' quit this crap!!!

BBG - Stay here and let us support you like you do us. You know the only judging is from yourself. We are doing this dammit.

Sam - Go to the Yoga in the park. Dress warm. Be in the moment. You know afterward you will feel so glad you did. Hardest part is getting there. (You do that and I will run 2 miles tonight - Deal?)
