You're doing really well, intro! Congrats on 128 days! You've successfully pushed through when you've wanted to drink and that's awesome. Sugar makes me shaky, the way coffee used to. It's a terrible feeling and I emphasize with you. Hang in there, it does get better and better. (( Hugs ))

Hey Intro

Introvrtd1

I guess I cope as well as I can....Some things work, and some not as much....bottom line, the anxiety eventually subsides....

Introvrtd1

Yawning......It gets out of control when I feel I yawn for no reason......Triggers the anxiety.....sigh

I guess I need to fix that....easier said than done ......

Soberwolf

I get that too

know you always have us bud

Introvrtd1

Thanks.....👍🏾

Its nice to have friends like you and folks here...

Introvrtd1

Better this morning......that's the nature of the beast....,some days are good, some days not so.....But again, there are way more good days....��

Striving towards that one year mark.....

Winslow

Hey Intro,haven't heard from you in a bit,hope all is well my friend😊

Hi Winslow!

I'm okay.... Just been keepin busy and enjoying better health thru sobriety....

There are times though that the temptations do come....That nice day for a bbq and watching the baseball game makes it tough, but its very easy to resist that 'cold one'.

Nonetheless, by the next day, I look back and realize I'm glad I did.

Anyway, still here.... just trying to keep in good health.

Thanks fo caring!

Good Morning!

Haven't given much thought to this, 'Cinco De Mayo' day today, but in the past, it was just another excuse to drink.....

My only plans today are to continue in sobriety and giving every opportunity to stay anxiety free.

Winslow

Intro,one of my customers was so excited about a Cinco de Mayo party at his local bar,he even told work he wouldn't be in Friday,they said"you're not even Mexican" its funny cuz he's from Iraq! I'd be excited for the food but the dinking sounds gaggy,have a good day😆

Astro

Cinco De Mayo is a good day to enjoy some Hispanic food and a non-alcoholic drink!

Introvrtd1

How long before anxiety ultimately loses its grip on a person?

Winslow

Intro,wish I knew the answer to that too,I go days feeling ace,then I get that crippling physical anxiety, heart pounding in my ears,headaches, you know that yuck,hopefully someone who's been long term sober will chime in,are you exercising?limiting caffeine?hope you're feeling ok😊

I think the answers different for all of us Intro. My anxiety's the best it's ever been- but I still have flare ups from time to time.

I'll take it, tho

Astro

I think that's up to me, Intro. It all depends on how much I want to work on my recovery and focus on the good in my life rather than the issues that are causing my anxiety.

Introvrtd1

In spite of how good I've been feeling the last several weeks, anxiety has a way of stepping in out of nowhere and putting me in check......Like a reality check.
