Hey there people.

Just wanted to check-in. Not sure if someone has followed my posts, but over a month ago I had a relapse that almost took my life.

Today its day 33 (I almost always cracked down at the month) and its feeling pretty darn good.

I still get somehow anxious every day because around 5 or 6 times a day I think like "You know I can drink", but then I come here, read posts and listen to a couple of Podcasts and well, I think, "maybe not".

Weekends are EXTREMELY, especially because of the loneliness.

I am in love with sports, they have saved my life more than once and kept me going. So I might start a Sports blog even if no one reads it, I enjoy myself reading about it. So that's a plan for the weekend at least.

I wish you a wonderful Thursday.

There was a time in my life, not so long ago, where I had to drink.

I'm blessed not to be at that stage anymore, needing to drink, and I'm not going to ruin it..

Good going Hope! Keep yourself busy and have a plan in place for when the nasty thoughts come to you. Know that you are a better person sober. I found that getting out in the fresh air and walking to be a real help. Be good to yourself!

You're doing fantastic!
Great going on 33 days.
Weekends get to me, too, and I've been sober ten years.
Just have to find something productive, or not, to keep busy.
Best to you.

Great job hope. By my calculations, you've made it thru 4 weekends. Just keep doing what your doing and it will be 5 in a couple days.

I know, it's kind of amazing how I'm able to do all these calculations so quickly. I get much smarter when I'm not drinking.
