Hello everyone.
Hello everyone.
Hi I'm Sean.
I'm on day 7 free from drink and drugs. I've found today to be quite difficult as everyone is at the pub due to it being a bank holiday. I was going to go see a movie by myself and then an old school friend asked if I wanted to tag along with him and his brother to see a film which has made me feel a little better as I felt the demons stirring in my head. I feel as though that when I make it through today and tomorrow then I'll be ok as I have to go to Moscow for work on Thursday for 5 weeks and I didn't really enjoy drinking on the job so I should be in a better position when I return. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Hi Sean! Great to have you with us - welcome.
Congratulations on your 7 days. You have a good attitude. Smart of you to stay distracted in these early days. Things will improve and you'll feel stronger as you get more sober time behind you.

Thanks for the responses. I always remember that phrase 'Idle hands are the devil's plaything' so keeping my mind occupied with other things should keep my on the right path. It's difficult where I live meeting new folks who don't drink, it seems to be everyone's chosen pastime. I just need to focus on myself for now though.
Thanks everyone, I'm glad to be here. I ended up watching Spider-Man 2 again, there were parts when certain characters drink and it made me think that I could come home and have one 'last' night out but then I know that It's not me thinking straight and now I'm home about to have some macaroni cheese whilst watching Seinfeld, I'm on season 3 and I've only recently discovered it. It's a very funny show, I love Kramer.
Welcome! My daughter and her new husband visited London and Cornwall last summer on their honeymoon. They loved it.
I'm glad you joined us. Congrats on the first of many sober weeks.

Thanks a bunch! I'm glad they had a great time, Cornwall is lovely. It's my sober goal to save for a trip to the States, It's the #1 place I want to visit.
It's going good thanks RevivingOphelia, I took my little brother Go Karting this afternoon then I went to the cinema this evening and watched Neighbors. It had a lot of drinking and drug use in it that kind of made me want to go out but I didn't, I'm just at home now about to watch a film. How's your day been?
Thanks, I find the hardest part so far is realising that it's kind of lonely in the early stages as everyone I know drinks but at the same time it's good to spend time by yourself. My cousin who I used to hang out with loads is a drug dealer so I had to tell him that I can't hang out anymore. How do you even meet new friends these days? Haha.
