day 15

Hello again. It's day 15 here. Been sleeping a bit better, but I'm irritatable and short tempered, and sometimes I smell whiskey when it isn't there. Could be worse. Starting nearly every day with a 6 AM meeting. That's actually the best part of my day by far.

Alright hope all's well with you all.

I'm just on day 8 but I can relate to the irritability and short-temperedness. All in all the days do seem to be getting better though.

Have a great day.

Oh and a funny thing happened today. I had to get out of the office for a moment so I was sitting down the street having a smoke when a random guy came up and sat down. We started chatting, somehow it turned to drinking and using and he mentioned he has 14 months clean. He showed me his chip and then scrambled off slapping me on the shoulder as he went. Weird.

I like your story about briefly talking to a stranger and it turning to him saying he has 14 months sober. Synchronicity at work! Best wishes.

Day 20. Have a headache on and off three days. Cranky and lonely today. But I'm doing a much better job with recovery than in the past. Maybe I'm a little more motivated. One of the older guys pointed out that I'm relatively young at 35 but that I could easily lose some years if I relapsed and then I wouldn't be. I don't know but it sounds reasonable. So I'm going to at least 5 meetings a week, calling other alkies, networking and socializing and trying to make myself be of service in small ways. Plus I'm actually praying a bit which is hard to believe even as I'm doing it.

Great update! Glad you are doing well. Or at least as well as anyone can be doing what we are trying to do.
