After 11pm here on a Saturday night. Nice dinner out then met up with friends in a bar and the musicians are also friends. I had NO, NADA, ZILCH cravings! I had battled that AV all day and won.
Going to bed SOBER on a Saturday night, woohoo!

Please add me back in. Just finished another day 1 after making a complete ass of myself last night. In better news, my stomach issues have cleared up in spite of me. I'm going to cling to the embarrassment of last night like it's my freakin' life raft.

Even if I was good while drinking, I still feel like a loser for drinking at all.

I hope one day I can look back at all of the embarrassing things I've done and laugh at myself. Someone please tell me that at some point you can look back and separate the you of your past from the you of today?
The thing that makes me the most sad is that I feel like this is not me. I mean this clearly is me. I'm the one with the problem, but this is not who I am. Or who I could/should be. Does that make sense? I am mortified by myself and when I think if child me could see me now... she'd be mortified too.

There are millions of alcoholics, so literally millions of people feel or have felt the same way you feel right now.

Good morning, checking in on day 7, coffee in process. The allergies are kicking up making me feel like I have a slight hangover but I don't!
Will be spending today doing more things in preparation for surgery tomorrow afternoon. Great gloomy day to stay in and cook some meals ahead for the week. First up is an old family recipe for spaghetti sauce and maybe some chili.
Have a great morning, will check in later.

Hi Daria 
I can look back at things that happened, and feel I've atoned and made amends for them now.
My life today is far more present and interesting for me, than things that happened in 2007 or earlier.
I don;t believe we should have to live with shame and guilt forever. There has to be a point where we forgive ourselves and move on.
It's simply not healthy if we don't.

Waking up on Sunday morning hangover free. Feels nice.
Did a bunch of reading last night on urge surfing so I'm going to try to apply it when the cravings hit {3:00 - 5:00 p.m.} today. Will let you know how it worked for me.
On to Sober Sunday...

13 days clean after a bad 6 month slide into heavy addiction. This time I swallowed my pride and got professional help. Intensive Outpatient has been the best help I have ever had for my issues. Please don't be afraid to ask for help if you are struggling. You are worth it. Yes, you.

Checkin in on a sunny Sunday morning here in the North Atlantic.
Made it through a week and feelin good about it. Pretty constant barrage of AV but feelin like so far I've done a good job of quashing it. Where I failed last time, was putting myself in situations I wasn't ready for (I.e. Night time social things), the updated plan is to avoid them till the holidays as best I can. That being said I've reached out to a few good friends who have been understanding and will definitly be ok with hanging out without drinking. Lucky to have them.
Lucky to have found you good people
Be safe

Checking in. I have almost 2 weeks of sobriety in. Feels pretty good. Got a new hairdo Friday feels nice to be pampered. Cheaper than drinking too.
My baby's been sick with diarrhea and I finally brought him to the ED yesterday and the poor kid has an ear infection. So hopefully both issues will go away now that he's had antibiotics. I'm glad I'm present and not drunk so I could deal with that and help my baby like a mom should. He's such a good boy despite being sick. Always has a smile and doesn't cry much.
Haven't had too hard of a time with the AV...yet. I'm armed and ready though! Congrats to you all! Keep up the good work!
