Good morning class.
It's nice to think that all around the world we're sharing this journey with a myriad of different issues, successes, problems etc with a common goal of enjoying a sober life again.

It's ALWAYS that one little first drink that gets me. So, really, staying sober is EASY; just don't have one little drink!

I had my first drinking dream last night. (Where you have a dream/nightmare that you are drinking). I know a lot of people don't like them, but the joy of waking up and realising it's just a dream is immensely comforting. I think it helps renew my resolve. Waking up guilt free is a pleasure I must use to help strengthen my sobriety muscles. Don't downplay this feeling Sparkos, remember the awful feelings of guilt, shame and regret that that one little drink ALWAYS leads to.

So into the second week for me feeling cautiously optimistic.

Good luck and strength to you all; my soon to be very good friends!
