Today has been both miserable and incredible.
I'm feeling the former now, and await the latter.
I know that this too shall pass, but until it does, I really don't like it.

I am feeling good today. I have eight months of sobriety and this was my first christmas sober. I can't believe I am able to stay at my boyfriend's mom's house with alcohol in the house and not touch it or feel tempted to drink it. it would accomplish nothing anyway.

I still feel trepidation about being around alcohol with less than a year's sobriety, but we don't keep it in the house, so I am not around it a lot. I have had a lot of firsts: first open bar party (luckily it was a 90th party, so not too rowdy), first time at a bar with a bunch of drunkies (sucked actually, won't do that again for a while). I wasn't much of a solitary drinker, so being alone is okay for me, luckily.

Anyway, I'm grateful as hell. Sobriety has given me so many things, too numerous to count. I reunited with my family, my baby niece, got a great job, lost weight, feel good - and all of that came from JUST NOT DRINKING. believe me, i didn't do anything but that. as my thinking got clearer, i naturally made better decisions. You can't help it!

I feel pretty good. Going to clean up the xmas bills and see what the damage is. Once I get that done I will feel much better (I hope)

I'm a little nervous today. Tonight is the big AA get together for New Years. I'll know a lot of people there tonight. I do get nervous with a lot of people yet. But I know I'll be all right after I get there.

I feel okay today. I was supposed to hang out with a friend from high school who is visiting for the holidays but I cancelled because I was too nervous to see her or anyone else for that matter. I will not be attending my folks party tonight so maybe I will go to a movie or something.

Woke up sober, as expected, but not feeling well. A vague stomach upset and feeling of restlessness. Maybe I'll go back to bed for a while. Don't know what else to do, as it's too cold to walk the dogs right now.

I feel grateful that somebody I care for can communicate openly and honestly with me, while maintaining healthy boundaries necessary for both of us to grow.

Feel better today and that's good. My dogs enjoyed their nye doggie sleepover with our neighbor's two dogs. They got home yesterday afternoon and came to get their dogs. THey very kindly gave me a gift card for gasoline! Very timely as I am low on gas and have no money. So now I can gas up the van!

I'm feeling kinda sad today. No reason really. Actually, every time I have a couple of good days, I crash... Damn I hate that. In rehab I'd have a good moment or two then crash for days, so I'm getting better.

Am I the only one who gets this ?

No, I get that way too. Like I can't have too long a streak of feeling good. I might come to expect feeling good every day!

Feeling horrible and sick and wanting to get drunk as hell... not going to, but wanting to. The feeling sick won't allow me to drink tho as that would just make me feel worse. Don't know where this came from - the feeling sick and the wanting to drink - but wish it would just go away.

I feel pretty good. SICK OF THE SNOW. It just keeps coming. School is supposed to start on Monday again, but we are supposed to get another blast on Sunday night. I can't get out of the driveway to go to work even if I wanted to....guess that's a good thing???
