Sober February. Let's do this.
So let's do it guys. Here's my commitment to a sober February 2015.
I've had a challenging couple of days. Moving in with my long term gf has caused us to have multiple disagreements etc...
And yes the *feeling* of oh Christ I'd rather drink than deal with this has come back...but by keeping connected to my program of AA I've dealt with the situations and processed them.
Key point....I would never do this before. I'd do the horrid silent scorn stuff and nothing would get resolved.
In other words...Resentment! And eventually I'd drink over it.
Not doing that anymore. I don't want to drink today. And I won't drink this month. And I'll achieve that goal by not drinking Day by Day.
Thanks SR. stay sober and safe everyone.

Same here. Currently on the 8th day. Feel loads clearer-headed, but had a pretty **** day today. And after work, was in the local Tesco Lotus in downtown Chiang Rai, dangerously close to the beer fridge. But instead had some comfort food - a big banana muffin.
Still not great but better than drinking. Feel a bit down at the moment - the kind of thing having a beer every day helped temper in the past.
Just need to keep holding on for the next 3 weeks - then term ends, then we get long school holiday, then I can go to Wat Tam Wua, the Buddhist meditation retreat I went to before, circa this time last year.
We can do this, guys!

How are you guys? I have stayed sober in part because of this thread! I am so glad to wake up every day feeling ok and not guilty. Going to set up a counseling appointment today, because I think that is part of my problem - I get upset and look for an easy answer. I was almost ten years sober and got derailed. I can make a million excuses, but I let the alcoholic voice take over again.
