Welcome new comers - it's nice to have you back dispnant
I think I remember you saying toe struggled with going to a meeting - massive step for you - I haven't got there yet - keep strumming
17 days for me and I resonate with what Axeman and sober 369 everything you say - I've read gone girl - great read very dark -
Hope your ok badger - I struggled yesterday got through it - glad you've gone to bed - that's what I did. Sleep is the best thing when all else fails isn't it .
For those who slipped- onwards we've all been there and back again- never give up giving up

Hello Feb class of 2017,
I have 24 days clean and sober and going OK but I am starting to notice my thinking start to warp around my commitment to sobriety, so thought I'd join this support thread and try to keep my AV in check and my motivation strong.
Good vibes to you all, will be seeing you all around.

Good morning everyone. I slept ok but woke up several times tossing and turning. It's ok though because I feel pretty good this AM. No hangover, regret, doom, anxiety. I could get used to this!!

Gabriel, I am with you. I used to fear tossing and turning all night so often that was my excuse to drink.
I am thinking it is more worthwhile fearing being hungover. In the rear view mirror, tossing and turning a bit is always more preferable for me.
Day 3.

I hope today is a better day for you Badger.
Welcome new friends
The AV attack last night on my drive home was strong enough that it got me thinking about it and I started listing all of the excuses it makes with me to "help" me drink. I decided to write them down this morning.
Good day, bad day, work stress day, marriage stress, kids stress, I feel good let's celebrate, can't sleep, no plans for tomorrow, a birth to celebrate, watching UFC, a BBQ, camping, fishing, watching football (both types) going out of town, on vacation, finishing yard work, working on cars or toys, and my favorite the fridge is stalked up and you ARE breathing.
As I write them down I observe to myself that all of these things are better and more satisfying sober or better handled sober depending on the type of excuse.
I hope everyone has a solid day

Kcey, yes I was plagued with PPD (not officially diagnosed by a professional, but noticed by my husband and family...couldn't really hide the crying all of the time!). Went to see an internal med doc two Fridays ago in the hopes of getting some anti-anxiety meds, but came out of there with just some hefty bills!
Slipped up last night to cure the withdrawal symptoms, so Day 1 x2 for me today. Here's to hoping for a better effort! Woke up hydrated and felt great on the way to work. Now, not so much - shaky, feel like my mind is racing, and anxious. Hopefully I can get through this!

Got my first whiff of old feelings today. Work is going to be stressful and long this week. I need to remember I will get through it better sober and sharp than feeling sorry for myself after a long day and drinking myself stupid.

Morning, day 23. I see a clear run to the end of the month. My plan feels good.
I heard
Some gossip about myself yesterday and I instantly started reading some articles to turn my head around and detach from the gossip. It worked, I didn't stress, I slept like a baby.
Detach detach detach 😊
