I do, and probably it would be even more fun if I practiced a bit more. That's work of course, and as one teacher said... a kind of responsibility. Since it's part of who I am, it's more than prudent to put care and effort there. I guess that's one more way that knowledge (awareness, whatever) isn't power.

Morning class, along with Nel and Lunetta I am celebrating day 60 (as to are others here) :c029:

I can't believe I have made it this far, yes I am thankful for being sober but some days I still wake feeling like I have a hangover and the last two days my mood has been dreadful, It's really strange I took the news of bounced and blonds relaspe very hard and my head was doing over time with all the How, What, Why questions, almost as though I was trying to work out when mine should happen, if that makes any sense at all.
Anyhow it tells me maybe I'm a little to needy of SR and I'm going to try and distance myself from the laptop and try to start living sober in the real world.

I will contunie to take each sober day and build my path to my peaceful future because the day is coming when I will feel at peace with myself.

My anxiety has calmed a little, still have moments just not as often.

In the month of March I will try some YOGA to help beat some stress and heal my mind :)

Wishing you all a wonderful day and I'm so pleased for each and everyone of you clocking up the days

Bounced, good to hear from you and know that you're back on track. I've been thinking of you and blond today and know that you can both do this! Hope you have a grat time with your wife in London.

Hope you feel better soon Reeny

Its the end of February already it really seems to have flown by. No major or minor changes in my life but that's good I think for now it really wasn't bad anyways just the drinking was making it unbearable.

Thank you, Rosieblue. I can understand you not wanting to open up more to your husband but maybe your positive progress will be a good thing for him to hear about, with everything else he has going on. Tough times for him, by the sounds of it.

Thanks, sober1ck for your wonderful supportive posts. I'm feeling a bit better and had the all clear for the mandatory battery of blood tests, including liver function - amazing!

Dee74 03-01-2013 01:32 AM

Thanks R1ck,I just wondered whether the actual gigging was boring too.
Congratulations Dorris :)

I am celebrating 60 days sober tomorrow and I know there are some others here too. I couldn't have gotten this far without this site and you wonderful people. I only went to the one AA meeting last month, and I've decided that it really isn't for me. This site is my program, and at least for now it is working.

Fantastic, Lunetta! And I totally agree - this site and particularly this forum rocks. I simply wouldn't be sober if I didn't have SR. Thank you, wonderful people!

Great to hear from you, Dorris, and congratulations on 60 days!:You_Rock_

Rosieblue 03-01-2013 01:46 AM

Congratulations all in 60 days :You_Rock_

Congratulations to all on our sober journey one thing that as stuck with me most is Dee saying it is like a roller coaster boy was he right. Well done to us all that have managed to hold on tight and to those that fell off and got back on you are amazing let's all keep trucking through March and beyond.
:You_Rock_

wanted to do a group hug there but my phone said no :(

bounced 03-01-2013 02:06 AM

Well done everyone on 60 days today. Absolutely blinding job!

I feel a very long way behind on day 3 but I don't want anyone else falling off the wagon -- I am really happy to be bring up the rear. It is a lot easier today for me than it was on 3rd January, that's for sure!!

Hi Dorris

I am sorry about my hiccup. I know how you feel because I felt the same way in January and February when there were a couple of relapses. I almost let myself get cross about it because it sort of questioned my own sobriety (I am soooo selfish!!!).

The thing is this is a process. It wasn't a toal disaster. I feel a lot stronger because I have recognised an area on which I need to be vigilant in future and I am firmly back in the saddle again now. Much better that this has happened to me now than in another few months. I think.

Congratulations on 60 days, Dorris. I am so very proud of you.

Woo hoo. I'm enjoying restful sleep. Got good results from my recent health checkup. 30 years of drinking. Now I wonder how I found time to waste on drinking. There's so much to do.

Know what you mean akberry, lost time that I can't get back. But, there's still plenty of future out there for all of us.
Best,
