Hang in there anewpage. Just a few more hours, right? Keep busy, watch those movies, have a snack... Keep posting. If it gets quiet in this MAy thread, you can start your own new one to get more responses.

So, my cough got worse again, after I thought I was better. Pretty sure I have bronchitis. It happens to me once every few years. It has helped me to not drink, though, feeling under the weather. I know once I feel normal again, the AV will be calling.

It might come calling but I don't think you'll listen.

Welcome delilah and welcome back ReadytoBeme79

Anewpage - maybe you're anxious about these upcoming events? Drinking won't help.
I'm sure other people have kids and cats and understand

I'm feeling a little calmer after I called my sponsor and told her how I was feeling. We're going to meet for coffee tomorrow and then go on to the midday AA meeting.

I didn't make it through the holiday weekend and am just now getting back in the horse, so Day 1 again here. This has strengthened my resolve to beat this.

My son is having a medicinal semi-emergency this morning and I sit here asking myself why that worries me so much more than killing myself with alcohol and leaving him fatherless. I guess in the rational part of my head I know that is what I'm doing, but AV isn't rational.

Anyway, I'm going to try to take the advice I've seen countless times and post when I feel weekness coming on. I am certain that if I had done that them I wouldn't have gone out again.

This is a tough message to write. I appreciate this community. I will try to support each of you like I know you will support me.

Day 1. Sigh. I pray for the last time.
Readyto, glad u are back! Keep coming back and we wkll be here for you! One minute at a time friend!

This was me a couple of days ago, too. I went to the gym in the morning and caught a little ESPN on the TV. Did you know they have beer commercials at 7:30am? I was ready to finish up my workout, call in sick to work and go out and find one! I got lucky and made a good choice, but that commercial was in my head all day.

Keep at it, because you know it's worth the effort.

Hi everyone.. coming out of lerk mode to join the class. Many of you might not know it, but your posts have been inspiring! I love that everyone here is so supportive and non-judgemental... Special thanks to Anewpage, Minion, Dee and really all of you. Your sharing and insight have kept me in check in knowing that no matter what, someone else is feeling the exact same way with the exact same struggle as me. Thanks to all! We can do this together!
Sober since: 5/10/14
