Hey class. Just checking in. I'm still here, and still sober.
I know I don't post much, but this does not mean I'm not reading everything or that I don't care. It just means that I am a very introverted person and don't really have much to say.
I'm sad to see the relapses, but happy to see those people get right back up to try again. And I am happy to see the people who are just ticking along and overcoming cravings.
I am "lucky" in a way I guess -- I don't have a lot of the triggers that are problems for most people. I'm not in a relationship, I don't have kids, and I work part-time at a mostly non-stressful job. However, this means I spend a lot of time alone (which I like) but it also means I have a lot of time that I used to fill with drinking. So far I am not having any problem filling this time and enjoying it without alcohol. Every once in a while I think about how that first drink would taste, but then I remember what comes next, and what comes the next day.
