Been wrapped up in a video game all evening but thought I'd better check in.
KiKi, there are crazy people here. There are crazy people in AA .There are crazy people in every treatment program. There are crazy people in all walks of life, sober or drinking or recovering or never had a drink in their life. Some people are just crazy. Don't drink over them. They're not worth it and their craziness has no real power over your decision to drink or not drink. AA's worked for you before--work it hard and don't drink no matter what. You can do this.
Hope tomorrow's the day for you, Thirteenth. Glad you checked in.
Sounding good, Keets. One day at a time, you can do this. Glad your husband didn't buy anything either.
I know others have checked in but the change over to a new part of this thread made me lose where I'm at here for a minute. Anyways, hope everyone else is doing OK. I'm going back to Skyrim. I'm sober in the game too, by the way.

Sleep good, Keets. Congrats on graduating to day three in the morning.
Kayak! Welcome back. You have been missed. How are you doing?
Have a wonderful afternoon/evening, immri!
Time for bed. As much as I'd love to pull an all-nighter with this dumb video game. Talk to everyone in the morning.

I am doing fine, thank you
I think I'm on day 14 and I think I finally have it figured out. The last couple years I've been working on my sobriety for other people not for me. Because I thought I enjoyed my drinking and deep down I really don't want to stop. Family and friends kept telling me I had to quit so sobriety was forced on me not welcomed by me.
About 3 weeks ago I went home to Missouri on vacation, I did the normal packing of an alcoholic, two pairs of underwear 30 mini bottles of Fireball and a 750 ml bottle of bourbon :-(
To make a long story shorter, I was trashed the entire trip. I had a good vacation but it could have been much better. On my way home I decided that I really want my life back and I'm taking it back my sobriety is for me this time. I will do whatever it takes to make it this time. I've lost enough years enough friends and adversely affected my health and relationships with my family
I'm not starting a new chapter I'm starting a new book.
I'm going to lean heavily on my SR friends.
I'm going to try to catch up on the thread as much as I can and I'm sure that you all will get tired of me because I'm not going anywhere. I hope that all the other members of Sr are doing great.

You can always post here or start your own thread Kayak. Generally you'll always get an answer no matter what the time.
If you specifically want an AA oriented answer you can specify that too

I just need somebody to talk me down sometimes it doesn't have to be aa related
I'm doing pretty good this time what's weird if I'm not craving it like I normally do I don't know if it's because I just decided I'm done or what. I've got my fingers crossed that this continues to be the trend

While I was on vacation my older brother
A retired War veteran and 25 years sober. Came to see me he had to drive almost 6 hours after he got there and we were alone I told him you didn't have to drive that far to come see me, he smiled and said yes I did I'm worried about my little brother he needs help but he doesn't know it and if I didn't make this drive I don't think I'd ever see him again. We talked about it all weekend he helped me open my eyes. I guess you can call it a brotherly intervention.
Thank you brother
