Day 16. Still fighting the fatigue. Basically I come home from work and lay down in front of the TV until I fall asleep between 8-9, then sleep all night. I also get irritable really quickly, usually when I'm tired. I don't feel overly emotional. I feel good about my work performance. But like dill I worry my life is getting pretty dull and boring.
It's not even a psychological issue for me at this point, I just don't have the energy to do anything. Once I get medically checked out, if I'm fine, I'm going to have to force myself to do something active.
lifeanew, great post - made me smile and feel good about sobriety!!

Hi all - Happy Valentine's Day!
Great to see such great, uplifting, positive posts here. Big applause to all of us who have hit that 30 day mark and then some!
Going on a road trip tomorrow for a job opportunity that kind of came out of the blue. Nice to be able to plan knowing there will be no hangover delay and going in confident, strong, and feeling pretty accomplished. Sobriety is a good thing....---->@ Fub - pistachios aren't too bad, either ;-}

Checking in for the day.
The longer I stay away from the bar scene the less I want to even go there. It is easy to get hung up on the day to day interactions there but after I have been away if I went back I would probably feel like the outsider.
A lot of nothing happens in 7 weeks.
I will stick to my coffee, SR, and Judge Judy.
Have a positive day everyone.

Happy Valentines Day, Class! I won't be celebrating with wine but I did eat a cupcake, chocolate chip cookie, 2 chocolate covered strawberries, and some jello. I went for a long walk and now I feel sick, ugh. At least it wasn't alcohol!!

Still sitting straight and tall on the wagon. I still seem to be having a struggle conquering the sugar thing. I tend to eat too much of it. Damn the sweetarts, jawbreakers, and sprees. I guess the ol' body is still struggling to get the sugar fix after the alcohol has been removed. What the hell, just another thing to quit. :-)

Sobriety comes first but if you want climb aboard. It is a little quiet but inspirational for me.

Hi all, so for those of you who read my post yesterday, I was talking about my friend's boyfriend being over here drinking. My friend is staying her for awhile until she gets on her feet (hopefully soon!) Anyways, I was talking about her boyfriend being over here and drinking, and my fiance asked my friend to not let that happen again. This morning at 10 am he comes over here with a high gravity 40.... what is wrong with people? No respect. Guess we need to do some more talking. Although I had cravings again, I kept thinking of how good I've been doing and it would be a waste to throw that away and start over again.
! Well least their low but not drinking I suppose ! Any way hope you are all doing well . Keep strong 
But No matter how bad I feel or crave, never going back.

Day 26
Well I am creeping up on 30 days. I have had so many things coming at me that normally would have sent me to the liquor store, AND I just accepted a job offer which means I am leaving my cozy, comfy job with people I like off to something big and scary. I WILL stay sober, I will.
Glad to see you all hanging in..this feels good!
