Yay Pamel! Keep going, you can do this! Come here if the cravings get bad. Just don't take that first sip.

Day 19 complete. I worked all morning/afternoon. That went fine, made the best money I've made so far at my new job. Didn't do much of anything else. Haven't been able to go to any meetings for a couple of days because of the transportation situation. Working on a remedy for that ASAP.

Day 20 starting now. I'm off work. Watching my nephew for a few hours at some point today, no other plans besides that.

TAQ

Don't leave me out - I'm at day 17 today.

Reading posts each day really helps, and I'm doing 3-4 AA meetings/week. Mentally, I've already completed steps 1-9 steps, but that's through a beginner mindset. I always try to bring up in meetings how helpful this site is (on a daily basis).

I really appreciate the SR 24 hr sober thread. A great way to start any day - making a public promise to stay sober for 24 more. YAY!

Day 3 for me! YAH! I am so tired! all I want to do is sleep and eat. I can't wait to feel better to feel alive again, to remember going to bed at night and wake up not feeling guilty and wonder "IF" I called anyone the night before.

I love reading all your comments they are really helping me.

Congrats on day 3,Michelle

It gets better as the days go by.
I was always afraid I'd post something stupid on facebook.
Oldly enough I'm actually a moderator on a website that involves a hobby I've been in since the first time I quit drinking in 07.

I was careful not to visit either sites while under the influence.
Now I don't have to worry about what I wrote cause I can remember.

Good morning everyone. Thursday morning Australia time and the beginning of DAY 15 for me.

Thank you everyone for your positive, supportive words. Everyday I start the day by reading SR which helps to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Thanks trikyriky for the tally scores = as a group we are pretty impressive.

Have a great day everyone.

Day 24 in the books. Had the detailed conversation with my dad tonight about giving up the 'sauce'. Again, I just focused on the positive aspects of being sober and not hungover rather than the negative. He took it well, agreed it was a good decision, and again we moved on. See - its really not that hard after all!! He must have had 4-5 pints this evening and he smells of it at the moment. In previous times I would have gone pint for pint and probably had a couple more for good measure! What's happening to me?! Feeling like a changed man:-) Sights are set on 30 days now, just around the corner.

Back home now with in-laws. Went to my Dr appt and successfully passed the liquor store, conveniently located right next door, without stopping. Keeping busy by getting some house stuff done and making dinner. In-laws will be staying for dinner, but I think I will make it through

Will check back in later. Hope you all are doing well!

Hi friends

I come to my daughter's house so I'm not home alone and lonley.
Loneliness is s trigger for me. Trouble is her 3 & 7 year olds fight and wine constantly. This is quite stressful , I have little patience. I don't know which is worse. Lonely or stressed out

Ha, every time I see a new post in our class I have to check it out asap.

Pass two liquor stores I used to stop at almost every day. Got home and have had a dull headache since. Could be allergies(as I'm allergic to ragweed) or maybe some more withdrawal effects. Just going to eat, rest and watch a bit of TV.

Trikyriky, that is tough. Whiny kids get on my nerves, hang in there. Is there anywhere else you can go to get some company throughout the day?

Pamel, where are you? How are you doing this evening?

Dee74

I hope everyone is doing well and keeps it up. I'm taking some time off. Back in a few days

Enjoy your time off Dee

Made it through today. It wasn't so bad being around my in-laws sober. I guess I just used that, among many, many other things, as an excuse to drink? It was nice to not have to pop breath mints before I hugged them bye.

Feeling really tired tonight, though. Just want to go to bed. Soon, I hope. How was everyone else's day?

How was everyone else's day?

Oops, sorry for the double question!!

My day was fine. My day was fine. LOL

Went to a new meeting tonight. It was okay. I am still having a hard time getting "into" AA. I got a temporary sponsor who I really did not want but was getting so much pressure. Now all I have to do is get myself motivated to call this person who I do not know from Eve.

Erratic

Day 14 cravings still on going.

Hey class,
Just chugging along this end, nothing major to report. Days are mounting up and that feels good. My wife left a half bottle of wine in the fridge & I noticed myself looking at it longer than I needed to last night,, in the end though I just thought " naw " & shut the door. Keeping the door shut is my job & what I have built up over the last few weeks is dependent on that,, so shut it will stay.
Hope the day goes well for everyone.
Enjoy your break dee.
