A quick note before heading to bed. I didn't have the time to read the posts except yours just above me Littlesparrow. Congratulations on 30 days! What an amazing milestone. I send you good thoughts in memory of your mom. I'm sure she is smiling down on you in pride.
My question is probably daft, but I'm brand new and dont really know how these forums work. This is the October group...I'd really like to stay involved...does this thread just continue on when tomorrow passes into November or does something new start elswhere? I'm slightly (a little more than slightly) techno-impaired. Thanks for any answer.

I'll start a new thread for you guys soon, but alaska's right - you peeps are the Class of October 2011 no matter what the month is.
Someone will start a Class of November 2011 thread in Newcomers soon for all those quitting this month

Happy November, dear Octobers!
Sigma...welcome!
LittleSparrow...I am so sorry about the loss of your mother, so young. You have been through so much. I am glad you feel her support of your sobriety. You are awesome...hang in there!
BoozeFree...congratulations on day 3. Thank you SO much for suggesting online AA meetings. I had no idea they existed. Just did a search and i see that there may be some options out there for me.
Day 23 for me today. Yesterday was tough with no meeting, Halloween, massive cravings. Overall, my life is so much better. Sleeping well and more energy during the day. I feel proud of the achievement of sobriety instead of ashamed over my secret addiction. I am focusing on simply not drinking right now. I think that over time, there will be more richness in sobriety than i can achieve right now, as i am still battling cravings and uncontrollable thoughts. I am worried about three major birthday celebrations in the next month, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. I want to stay sober and find a way to have fun and celebrate, without grief and obsession over wine.
sending peace and strength to all.
