Optimist's Day 2

Heavy sigh...checking in now because this is usually the time (noon EST) I try to think up some reason to go out. Mail a letter, pick up some dog treats, pick up a prescription...any excuse to get out of the house and buy 2, sometimes three shots of vodka. I'm actually feeling quite good today and my day 1 was uneventful. No hangover, no headache, nothing and today is the same. No anxiety or panic attacks.

I plan on reading some posts and will hopefully learn. I am working on a plan (it's actually an old one from when I first started here) and this is the first item. Unless something keeps me from a computer, I plan on being here during the "witching hour" , gaining strength and learning from the wisdom of so many wonderful members and friends.

Thank you for a place where I feel safe.

Good luck! A lot of people on SR recommend having a plan to stay sober - checking SR fits the bill.

Develop a plan and stick to it. Change your daily routine. You can do this!

Heya Optimist . . . I'm a bit late to support you through the "witching hour" so accept a bit of belated support. I'm a few hours behind you so I'm hoping you only have a hour or two to go before putting that sober head on your pillow.
