Checking in to stay accountable. I did get quite a bit accomplished today and still have a few things to do on my list, but I am running out of steam.
I just want to say how great it is to see so many of you just racking up the days!
Great job!
Today was a follow-up visit to my doctor and I was pleasantly surprised when I got weighed. I've lost 5 pounds in 3 days! It wasn't the quantity of alcohol I drank (but I'm sure that didn't help) but it's my never ending feeding frenzy that the alcohol induces. I'm really going to enjoy breaking that habit :-)
Off to do some more errands. See everyone tomorrow!

Hi, I feel a fool. Had 3 years, picked up last year on and off. Over last few weeks its every night slowly insidiously creeping up. Now I can't believe I ever had such a decent period of sobriety. Anyway I'm back but I can't do it alone.
Day 4. Feel I'll, tired, can't sleep, limbs feel heavy. Luckily not craving just feel rotten. Been reading on sr but thought I'd join this thread for help and support and to stay accountable. Thank you and wishing you all the best on your journeys.

Day 6 - bit of a nothing day today - cleaned the bathroom and sat outside and read a book. Feeling a little empty but haven't been tempted to drink any wine. Still feeling stuck in a rut and missing my little girl X

Just reading the posts. Hey cngy you're the only person I recognize. Congrats on your sober time.
Awake I hope your grand daughter is ok and the family situation improves.
Well done on tipping the bottle out Kats.
Great news on looking better tea and your weight loss optimist.
I hope the situation with your daughter gets resolved Susie.
Culture thanks for your great list the other day. It has helped me.
Congrats to everyone on your milestones. We live to fight another day.

Love all the positive progress being made and empathize with the ones that are still struggling.
As for me, I usually only drink like once per month. So I'm safe for another 2 weeks I would say... Then I get antsy... and bored... and the cravings kick in. My drinking episode lasts for 1 occasion. But it's usually in excess. So my husband and I have a cool trip coming up to drop my son at MIT in Boston for a few weeks. WE are driving back to NC. Going to stay in Times Square for 2 days and then see friends in Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. I know this will be about my timeframe of partien down... and being on a road trip and kid free. So I'm posting now to hold myself accountable. I'm pretty set in my desire to stop for good.

Day 1 for me. I'm at my parent's house so I'm not alone. Hoping I get through the night okay but I do have medicinal assistance for that. My anxiety plays a huge role in withdrawals. I hate it. Looking forward to about day 6 when it will chill out hopefully. I had a two week stint where I was completely sober and it felt great! I can't wait for that.

Day 5 here, started the day with a shower, a walk and a cooked breakfast all before work. Sounds trivial maybe but it's way more than I was doing this time last week.
Trying to get up for work after drinking 3bottles of wine the night before isn't easy, or pleasant.
Hope everyone has a good day:-)

Congrats on the new job Blackbird! I'm also a nurse and started a new job a couple of weeks ago. Big challenges for me, quitting alcohol and starting a new job at the same time, but I'm proud to say I'm 25 days sober 
The last few days have been tough...feel like I'm craving as bad as the first week...so I'm just trying to press on through until these urges pass. So close to a month...
Hope everyone else is well.
Well done on pouring out the wine, Kats!

Day 7 - Have woken up tired and anxious. I'm hoping as the day goes on I will be able to snap out of this. Having a cup of coffee and then will push myself to go out for a run. My plan is to clean and tidy up my utility room today as I have been using it as a dumping ground.
Need to get some energy from somewhere.
Have a good day everyone X
