| What's wrong with you guys? I hope this bitter cold, high wind-chill, slippery roads, high heating bills, dark winter never ends! Blah, who am I kidding...I just can't wait to go fishing! Finishing up day 77 today. I believe that this is the longest I have been without a drink in 20 years! I did have 12 months of 'moderation' (eg. didn't make an ass out of myself  ) but that was more of an exercise in futility. I also had 75 days without a drink in 2006 but I convinced myself I was all better, tried to have a couple of beers at a concert and was drunk for 3 days. Oh well, such is my life. Closest thing I could find to a sunshine unicorn:  |

| Hi Everyone, On day 14 today. I'm almost officially graduated to this board! Really overwhelmed with work (on the downside). On the upside, a good AA friend is visiting, and we went to a meeting on Saturday. I got an invitation to coffee from the person sharing that night. And, going to another meeting this afternoon. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm hanging in there. Feeling many more ups than downs. -- NM |

| Welcome back, Positive Man!  And since I've done enough complaining about the weather lately, I'd like to thank my HP for a taste of spring today. 65F and sunny! It's been so nice to be able to air out the house after work today...before it got funkier than George Clinton. |

| Hi guys, day 46 for me. Just feeling very depressed again today. Not much to say. I'm going to a meeting tonight. Maybe that will help. I have some good friends at this meeting. Barb |

| Rob - 14 days and that big chunk of time before your slip (almost 2 months?) NM - 15 days and 40 days before that Scaredycat (still love that name!)-46 days Dean-39 days Tay- 40 days Tellus - 52 days Others that are racking up the days It honestly seems like we just started together on this journey and look where we all are! I think without exception we have all weathered some major storms. Lots of work to do but man, this is impressive! I posted this on another thread but right now I am in a hotel room, stressed, my good buddies getting drunk downstairs and guess what? I don't give a sh*t ! I'd honestly sooner be here, resting, working on my sobriety through SR. It was just a short while ago that I would be out of control drunk right now or (in early sobriety) seriously white-knuckling it. It may not always be like this and I am so thankful right now. Best wishes! D |

| Quick check-in before sleep, day 52 today. Went to two meetings tonight, even shared at one. (I've only shared a couple of times previously.) Worried worried worried about Robzoloft, but there's not much to do but hope he keeps coming back. Take care, all. -Anna |

| Hey! I wanna be on that list too!  Just finishing up Day 45. Feeling pretty good. Should be an interesting week. Have a drs. appointment tomorrow. Going to talk with him about my anxiety. I think once I get that under control, I really be able to make all the life changes I need to and be able to work 'the' program, and not 'my' program. Then Thursday I have my hearing in front of the magistrate for my DUI. Crossing my fingers it turns out well and that the DA feels I'm a good candidate for the first time offender program. Glad to see that everyone is doing as well as possible, and happy to see NM and Mayorob back here. Great job guys. Welcome back! |

| Hello thread and lovely people, Won't post a long-winded selfish diatribe this time. This is Day 80 without a drink. I don't know what I'm feeling, but I can say that I have had some pretty intense mood swings, from high to low and everything in between. The good days are great, but there are some lows there that still level me. I want a drink right now, but I'm not going to have one. I have been smoking a few cigarettes, which says to me that I haven't dealt with my issues yet. I hate smoking, and yet my brain's managed to slip that one past me. I know that drinking is a step away, so I have to quit that while I am aware of it. It's good to read all your thoughts and feelings, I feel like I've stepped off this boat ride here at SR. I'm sorry I've missed it, but I just can't post here while my mate's staying with me. I'm glad you're all still here, still going strong, and still working through all the issues surrounding life and sobriety. Thanks for letting me chat for a bit. ndz |
