Checking in - sorry i've not been around for a while! Missed you all, and this place.
Had a really hectic month or so with exams, practical electrician ones - nearing the end of my course, so they get quite tough now and i really want to pass them all!
Still sober and glad to be so - things have been ok on that front. Find that i'm making the right choice when times are tough and i feel tempted.
I just feel that i know it's not worth it - the very fleeting nice feeling is just not worth all the rubbish that comes after that.
It probably helps that my drinking got to the point where there's just nothing there for me now. It was just nothing, nothing, nothing, BANG - blackout... Then wake up, feeling awful, and dealing with what happened, and all the guilt, and letting myself down, etc... I just weigh it up and it feels like a simple choice to me.
I don't think it'll always be that way - still early days for me, less than a year.
Hope you're all well today, hugs and smiles to you all!
