Day Eight: I feel good but am depressed
Pit of stomach, maybe I will throw up depressed. It sucks. It must be the monster demanding to be fed, but it's hard.
On other attempts I am all pink clouds right now, but this time is different. I am both more solid in my commitment and less giddy about feeling well.
I'm making hubby his bday dinner but I always cook with a glass of wine in my hand (might as well be on an IV stand) and it's weird and I'm out of place sober.
Tea anyone?

I'll pass on the tea, MI7, but wanted to let you know I'm still in your corner.
We're all creatures of habit. The only way to expunge the bad is to replace them with good. Much like nature, addiction abhors a vacuum.
Fill that space, Teach. I know you can.

Hi Missy,
I am only on day one (again), but like you much more committed this time. Today was the first time I went to s meeting, and I am on here right now. Normally, I would have a glass of wine next to me as I cook, read, watch tv. Tonight I have diet cran apple juice.
Hang in there, we can support each other. I hope your husband enjoys his dinner.

Grim determination, if it works, beats pink cloud if that is what works for you.
I would rather be bored, depressed, and feeling bad sober, than feeling that way drinking. Sober I can do something about it when I want to. Drinking not.

Knew you would make it, and glad to read it.
My experience was that I felt lousy for lots of reasons, so some days all I could do was just get to bed sober.
Sorry you felt lousy yesterday. Just seeing this now.
Sending strong vibes for a better-feeling Saturday.
