Thanks for sharing the good news about your health Juno. I am happy for you.
Congrats on the up coming 33 years 3wolves.
For some reason I was unable to sleep last night for the first time in a couple of weeks. This is where the thought of drink usually enters my head. I get run down and foggy headed and my defenses are down. So far no desire to drink. Going to put my headphones on and go for my walk around the park. Not much work for me to do today so I may end up sleeping this day away.
Oh wait I do have a couple of things I have to do. The coffee has not cleared my foggy brain yet. Hope all of you have a good sober day today.
Hi, Memra! (BTW, I love star trek too--like you, the REAL ST, a-hem)
Anyway, I know what you mean about the dangers of getting run down. That is always a trigger for me.
You mentioned that you are worried you might drink. I wonder if it might be helpful to think of a plan ahead of time if you feel tempted? One thing my last relapse made me realize is I knew I was going to drink before i knew it. That is, there were some warning signs there that I wasn't aware of (thinking I might drink turned out to be one of them). One thing I've done that has worked well is posting before I drink here or on the newcomers list. That and thinking it through have both really helped.
Take care, Memra!
