Dee74, thanks for the information. My dad, who has been sober for 20 years, drinks NA beer, so I assumed it was Ok. It's not that good anyway! I wonder if that woman thinks I fell off the wagon...but I know it shouldn't matter to me. This is my problem, and I am happy with how I am handling it. Could not do it without all you...I am sorry for all the posting, I am hanging on to you all like a lifeboat.

Greetings Decemberists! Day 17 is a done deal, only thing I'm buying tonight is milk...tomorrow I get to a point I was unable to go past when i tried to break from drinking back in June. But back in June there was no SR, just reading a few posts and then chickening out and succumbing to a social pressure moment. I also did not confide in anyone. Things are different now.
notaloser, betterlife wow that is so amazing, I hope I can join you there in the 30-day club. This is the right path to be on even if it gets lonely and sad at times. And YES I feel like I am a blind man with supersensitive hearing...I notice all the billions of alchohol references in society, media, journalism, arts, music, my glassware...everywhere!

On NA beer, I went to a microbrewery yesterday (yeah, that's probably another topic). Anyway, they lovingly described all their beers and their locally made root beer and then had a listing for NA beer that read simply as "NA beer." No brand, no description, nothing. Obviously shows how much they sell of that. Unsurprisingly, I opted for the root beer, which indeed pretty tasty.
Long, long day today. I think I'm going for some tea to decompress.

I am joining again, I drank a beer at 1:30 a.m. last night! I was horibbly surly all day long and I took some klonopin with that to sleep. Very bad, I know. I have a second interview with the president of the school I want to work for! And I sent an email to my flaky friend last night who is a very dedicated alcoholic to let him know I can't spend time with him anymore because he treats me poorly. These are good things. But they are so scary! I absolutely cannot screw around with drink or pills. My interview is Friday and I want this job so badly.

Welcome back, Sleepie. Sorry to hear about beer, but glad to hear you're making changes. Even if the guy didn't drink, it sounds like he gave you plenty of other reasons to kick him to curb. Good luck with the job interview!

day 16, I had some cravings earlier on in the day, but I dismissed those fairly quickly. I got a feeling the cravings are gonna start coming on hard one of these days, they have been practically non existent thus far. A month would be nice!!Then 2, then 3, then 12

Hello. Day 19 here. I want to give AA another shot but at the same time I don't because of the 5 or 6 diff ones I have tried in the past I didn't like due to the fact I felt like an outsider since they all had their cliques and weren't to welcoming. There's a meeting tonight in about 1 1/2hrs that I'm debating about. Well see what happens.
