I am alcoholic like everyone else here. Gotta just admit that I really can't drink. So, I will succeed this time. I can't keep talking myself into the "I'm not that bad" BS when I know in my heart that just isn't true.
Thanks for the support everyone. I really love this site.

Hi folks! Checking in on day 11. Feeling a little crazy. I could not fall asleep last night, despite doing progressive relaxation exercises and breathing meditation. My mind was like a crazed hamster on a wheel, running full-tilt all night until I had to get my kid ready for school at 7. The really scary part is it's 9:30 pm and I am STILL not tired! Is this just mega-PAWS, or could the real me, without alcohol constantly depressing my system, be bipolar? It runs in my family but I've never really been manic before, just depressive.
On a separate note: today is the first day I've had serious cravings. It just feels wrong to not celebrate Friday night with wine. But the craving passed, and now I'm just craving some sleep!

phew I made it to day 29. The feeling your feeeelings now sober got me yesterday. Had some pretty intense anxiety (because of a silly negative loop I'd got myself thinking). The good news is I spent the entire day doing lovely things such as meditating, journalling, the gym, walking around the lake and a long azz hot bath. The bad news was it just kept coming back after about 30 mins of finding relief. But alas, I guess this is real life! Before I could just soothe myself with, oh well I'll drink later and forget about it. Now I'm processing it properly and boy is it a bit of a shock to the system. New Day though! Hoping it's a better one

Thanks Dee. I've just discovered I was anxious over nothing yesterday. I was being completely irrational. (It was work related and I was panicking that my editor hated my work because they hadn't responded for over a week and was short with me in the email previous to that. They emailed this morning and loved it :/) So all of that was in vain. Wth. I do suffer a bit from anxiety normally but not irrational anxiety. I don't know what's going on with me. I'm wondering if I should cut out the extra supplements. I can usually determine what's messed up my chemicals/hormones etc... Like I know coffee gives me a flutter of anxiety when it's coming out of my system. Maybe I need to get back to basics with the vitamins. Or maybe I should make a thread of my own and stop waffling in here 
Edit: Actually that pretty much sums up how AV would get me drinking over "nothing". I just actually went through the turmoil instead of having a drink. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to stop myself getting into a ridiculous loop in the first place. Yup still waffling.

Day Thirty
It's five in the morning here but I guess I'm starting day thirty already as I've been awake for the last thirty minutes after a bad coughing fit woke me up. Decided to post on here while I was waiting for some hot water to boil for my lemon tea.
Besides the sore throat yesterday was ok. I mainly lazed around the house reading and watching television. Cleaned up the house as I'd kinda let the dirty dishes pile up.
No big plans for today. I'm supposed to work in six hours. After I drink this tea, I'm going to try to go back to sleep for a while.
Can't believe it's already day thirty! I've been trying to quit drinking off and on for 12+ years now. Think I've made it this long six or seven times before. I know I've got to remain vigilant but right now this time feels different. I don't know--I just feel like I've accepted not drinking again in a way I never have before. SR, and this thread in particular, have been my primary support so far so thank you to each and every one of you for your support.
Ok, going to drink this tea now. Hope everyone has a safe and sober Friday morning or evening.
