Well, I made it through the week. I went to work and I did a good job. I enjoyed the company of my colleagues, and my children in the evenings.

Now I'm looking forward to a lovely weekend with my kids. I'm feeling fine. Tired (but I'm always tired) but otherwise in very good shape.

I'm feeling less scared now. I still don't feel totally healthy, but having done a lot of reading this week, I'm reassured about my medical status.

So today is day five. And the sun is shining. So far, so good :-)

Just keep doing what you are doing...Are you looking into some kind of recover plan to assist you along the way?..

Emjay40

Not really. I'm seeing my shrink on Monday, and my doctor the Monday after. Other than that I'm planning to just keep talking, reading, sharing on here.

That works Emjay....It's good to be around support...It keeps you honest..

Emjay40

yes, telling people has made it real for me. Before it was my guilty secret.

I find this to be true as well. The more I hang around people that keep my in check, the less likely I am to start drinking again.

Plus doing activities that don't involve alcohol has helped. The gym and bookstore get hit up on a very frequent basis now.

I can't wait to get some exercise. I used too run a lot. Haven't done it for a while though. Endorphins are good!

Just keep going. Enjoy your kids. I found the equivalent weekend an emotional one every time I saw the kids but it helped me stay on target. Good luck.
