I believe on Friday I will have 6 weeks sober. Today was my birthday and I didn't drink. Wasn't even tempted. I have been trying to lose weight and today I realized I am down 50lbs from where I started. I feel very healthy.
However, I have 5 days off work coming up....temptation will be horrendously strong as I've been bored and having bad anxiety.

Awesome job on the 6 weeks! How great that you have 5 days off of work as you will have time to relax which should help you to unwind and deal with any anxiety. Also you will have time to find some interesting activities to participate in, how great! Boredom is a feeling that everything is a waste of time. Serenity is when nothing is a waste of time. Recovery is always a great use of time!

That's wonderful news, AR. It was around the 6 wk. mark I began to feel so much better. You're doing this!

Let's hope for the best, shall we?

Better yet, how about making plans for those five days?

If you're not already in therapy, those five days would be a good time to have a consultation with someone who can help with your anxiety.

If you don't know where to start, local and national hotlines have expanded tremendously during the past three months or so.

You also may feel some relief whenever you do something that's good for you, no matter how simple you think it is. You're allowed to have fun too.
