My original/background thread that I posted a few days ago can be viewed here

http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...idnt-make.html

I logged back on today and saw someone else was doing a 30 day sober log. I wasn't sure if I could do 30 so I'm starting small at 15.

I've got a lot going on in my mind and I do need it to be clear. I'll update this log with how I'm feeling and dealing with things. I usually am pretty open, especially online, b/c nobody actually knows me here.

I haven't drank since Saturday night, so technically this is Day 2. But, I'm calling it Day 1 and the start of the log.

I appreciate all the positive remarks and messages in my last thread. I haven't really gotten back to anybody b/c I haven't been in a good frame of mind. But, I do appreciate it.

So, let Day 1 begin.

Good luck!

Hey SlickRick07- I just wanted to add to the support.

First, congrats on day-1!

Remember, everybody has had to have their own day-1 at some point, and many have continued to week-1, month-1 and hopefully year-1 and beyond. There's no reason why you can't move forward as well, although it's not always easy- as I'm sure you know. When things get tough, spend some time in here. It can really help, as I personally have come to learn.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress, and I do wish you well.

I appreciate the support .

Day 1 went well. I'm off school for the Thanksgiving so I came back home. I did not want to stay in my empty apartment since all of my roomates are gone. I went to the gym today and then walked around a lake with my friend and his son. I'm now relaxing and surfing the internet. I have not had the urge to drink at all today.

Day 2

Ran a few errands and went to the gym today. A little stressed out today with everything that's been going. I'm home from school for Thanksgiving and staying with my parents. Its a very toxic household and I'm quickly reminded why I left. That combined with the stuff going on with my gf, has me stressed. But, I didn't drink tonight and have no intention to.

Way to go Slickrick

I have had some if my old anger come back. I've been working on letting that go. It seems coming back home where I spent so many nights drinking and crying in my basement have brought it back. I'm in control though which is what's important.

hi, nice idea regarding the log. One think I am finding helpful is to talk about the challenges you face each day and then others in the forums can help you with suggestions. Some of the suggestions made by others hadn't even crossed my mind and have made a big difference

I get the anger too and it seems to be a major trigger for me - I have found that the gym helps for this (since you also mentioned working out). You got this Slick.

Good job, Rick, on your sobriety.

Family can definitely be challenging. Be sure that you have some escape routes, if needed. I second SoberD's suggestion about the gym. I plan to bring my running shoes when I visit my family at Christmas!!

Day 3. Well I haven't drank but today was like yesterday. Just angry. I did hear from my gf but she was so cold to me. I guess I just need to go no contact and give her space until she's ready. I just hate being in limbo.
