Did y'all read those? The first thing that struck me is where did everybody go? 
It's good to remember where we were at the beginning of December. Y'all, I was desperate to get sober and I had no idea how to do that...I didn't know what I was doing at all! I just remember pouring over posts and thinking that if these people could do it so could I. All I know is that I'm glad we're in this journey together! Love you guys!! ❤️

Know what's sort of awesome in a way? I rationalize I can afford it as the payments are substantially less than what I normally spent on beer per month. Probably half to tell the truth. As well, going to use this to solidify my stance on not drinking... As I won't have as much disposable income. I see that as a positive. And yeah... Sunroof! Hopefully all works out on the weekend.
Not drinking anymore is f'ing cool.

Mine were like that for awhile too Js.
This is really my first shot at sobriety. Since September I mean.
I said I was going to quit a million times but I never meant quit for good. I just meant slow down.
Today my thoughts have been strange.
Like I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not an alcoholic again.
I move forward a few steps then it seems I'm back at square 1.
like I'm trying to convince myself that I have a coping problem not an alcohol problem.
Truth is I'm pretty sure I just have both.
I never learned how to drink moderately.
I never tried to just have a couple.
I tried to not get sick or hungover.. but one or two was never the plan.
And not everyone who drinks to get drunk is an alcoholic.
or are they?
I don't know.
I just want to get drunk really. But I don't want to deal with the aftermath.
So maybe I'm just hung up on the label "alcoholic"
I'm not in a state where I'm going nuts over having a drink but its on my mind.

How was your meeting js? I used to get ready to quit drinking all the time. Party so hard cause it was the last time. Oh I didn't had have a guiness. That has to be my last beer. Oh too many, need a hair of the dog. And my quitting turned to bingeing. Oh the humanity!
Been so good now. One day more than the veggie eating royal beauties. And the sun has been out and getting some air and having a drink sometimes sounds so good. But.. Really? Does it? I know it's a terrible road. It kinda does suck that i'm not "normal" for that. But I have to be ok with it. It is a struggle. I don't think anyone uses just SR for recovery. People use the tricks, and skills shared by others, the common pains and stories we all carry. That's how SR helps me stay sober. It's not magic, it's reading early posts by me seeing the fog, seeing other people walk tall only to shuffle back looking for guidance they once dolled out themselves.
I'm tired. Picking up neighbors from the airport and their flight delayed so now they don't land till 10:45 and I have to work at 8am. Picked friends up from the airport last night at 10pm too. But really just paying people back. The folks tonight have driven us to the airport last second do or die stuff. So it's no problem. Gonna nap real quick though.
Lots of people missing from the early December posts? Let's put a stop to that.
