Thanks calichris.... Its tough being aware of all emotions in real time i think, more raw, more roller coaster ish, maybe it will calm down after time as we get used to not damping things down with a depressant. I can't stop my thought racing about all the bad things that have happened, and what might come of it, the worst obviously!!! But I find it harder to just shrug n forget , I'm like analysing everything, like I'm nout sure of my own mind sometimes, and infinite possibilities unfold, then vanish....

Sorry, am feeling weird!!! X

I know it helps me so much in sharing these things because I know we all get it. Just be present with it it will pass. Off to my parents house. Lots of triggers there but I am feeling quite strong today thank God.

Hi everyone!

I got more done before noon than I used to get done in a day!

Now I'm going to do even more work.

I have a friend who is very communicative, really feels neutral about my drinking or not, and is really a very good influence in my life. But she seems to be getting fed up with my constantly turning her down to do things together. It has been 4 weeks. I just keep telling her I have work to do, because I do. But I haven't made room to do anything with friends in about that long. Soon I'm going to have to make time for friends, but I'm not ready.

I love working on my personal projects and being alone for once. I used to spend all of my energy on socializing.

I don't know what to say other than that I'm just busy. I do feel uncomfortable not drinking in some situations, and some days are better than others.

It seems like she'd be confused if I told her I don't want to spend time together because it's hard for me to not drink. Because, she never pressures me.

For now, it's the work that keeps me booked. But soon, I am going to have to get back in touch with my friends

Thanks for sharing struggles, everyone. Today I'm feeling pretty great about everything, but I have a feeling this too will pass.

Hey all, hope you are all having a pleasant weekend.

Hey Sparkos, am I eligible for the roll call, I started last March (the 16th) and am currently "correct and sober".

KimsFriend, glad the temptation is fading, I hear it only gets easier over time. I know what you mean about the frustration over having to think about sobriety all the time. I guess it makes it easier when I just focus on the positives of the change. Also it is generally pretty nice/fun to communicate with people on here. I notice that the negativity about sobriety pretty much only comes when it is just me and my thoughts (assuming the AV is mixed in there).
