Going to succeed

I was going to title this first post 'Trying again', but that implies the very real chance of failure.
This time there will be no chance of failure, I simply won't indulge any negative thoughts.

New year, new username, same BP(but with renewed determination).

AVRT and RR will be my tools of choice and I will become extremely proficient in their use.

I will read, post and learn from others and share my thoughts on this journey.

Look forward to getting to know each other.

I recommend the January class if you haven't already joined? I was in the December group and I don't think I would have made 30 days without the support of a consistent network and peer group.

I love everything about this sentence.

One thing I have learned in sobriety is that I can control what I think about. If I don't, then my brain is like a toddler with a knife running through the living room. It might be OK, but the possibility for disaster is always at hand.

Sitting and thinking about how wonderful a drink (or 17) would be is a choice my brain often makes when I don't tell it what to think about. It's lazy and defaults to a well-entrenched pattern that is easy and used to be happy.

I won't indulge this any longer. I hope you're ready for 2018 MyLazyBrain, because you are going to work.


Welcome/Welcome Back Trohyn!!!
You can do this!

Welcome Trohyn. You can do this and make 2018 your year. The choice lays before you, and you will succeed provided you make sobriety the number one priority and never change your mind. Be ready with a plan and stick around here.

Hang in there! I use AVRT also, the emotional rollercoaster gets me pretty hard and the beast starts whispering but it's been getting easier and easier. I've had my share of relapses but next monday I'll have 11 months!
