A little good news and SO glad I didn't drink!
Ok guys. I know a few of us are dealing with trying to see to our health while pursuing sobriety. Not easy! I have been wanting a drink for a good couple weeks after various doctor appointments and the dreaded waiting for results. Too many appointments for this highly anxious person.
Well, got another phone call. Everything is ok so far. I had yet another long weekend of waiting and waiting for results with out of this world anxiety.
This test was fine. I have to schedule yet another, for yet another thing that's been off but this one was ok.
Being proactive with my health status has been extremely difficult while just barely past 3 months sober. I wanted to drink through this, I know people here are familiar with that mind set. And then a fleeting desire for beer after getting good news because to finally relax would be so wonderful. That's not going to happen though.
I didn't drink. I DID IT. I ABSTAINED.

Very glad to read the good news, Sleepie. We knew you could avoid falling back on drinking. 
It never does anything but hold us down & create more misery on top of what we're already dealing with. Nice job.

Now I feel ready to step it up and get real about some dietary changes and daily exercise. I rested enough I think, I researched and started some changes in diet but have been bad about the exercise partly due to very erratic sleep and insomnia.

So glad you got some good news Sleepie. I know you have been beside yourself with worry.
You should be so proud of yourself for not drinking during this very stressful time. I think you are stronger than you give yourself credit for...
I, for one, am always impressed with how resilient you are!
Keep up the good work Sleepie. I hope nothing but good news is headed your way..
