Day 9? I think it is day 9 for me. Once I get up a few I lose count. Pretty much when I run out of fingers, so I have another day to be accurate, lol. Oh, I think I did update my sobriety date on my info page, so i can do the math. 
Anewpage, I am glad you made it through your cravings.
This virus had a stronger hold of me than I initiall thought. I think I have turned a corner today, but felt rather awful yesterday. Mostly achy and a cough/chest congestion. But I slept a bit better last night. it has made it easier to avoid drinking. There is that. And, we had no big plans this holiday weekend, so I have rested.

Hope you feel better soon rochele x
Bank holiday Monday here and have no major plans today other than doing some gardening for my dad, got a hospital appointment tomorrow, its an examination that Im not looking forward to and feel a bit nervous already about it. Had stomach problems and its all linked to my drinking. There is an option of going under sedation but they will discuss it with me when I get there, read the 'what could go wrong' information they've sent me and my calmness Ive felt lately is under threat!

Day 16! Half a month! I would have never believed I could go this far, now I'm starting to think about getting through June, a year, and beyond. Alcohol really doesn't appeal to me anymore and I'm a bit bitter about all the time it's stolen from me over the last 20 years. Stay strong all!

Day 13. I really struggled yesterday. I went to a minor league baseball game with my family. It seemed like everybody around me had a beer. There were ads everywhere. I even passed a stack of kegs getting to the entrance. I could literally smell the beer. I couldn't quit fidgeting the whole time I was there. It felt like pure torture.
All I could think of is when will I be able to enjoy outing like this without craving a drink or 10?

Today is day 11. Just realized Im back in double digits. Thankful I never need be in single digit sobriety again. Went to a meeting yesterday. It was hard to sit there in the admission of my failures but I did it. Again.
Last night I just watched a movie. Hung out with my wife and kids. Rocked the baby for hours. It was nice. During the day we went for lunch and ice cream and then to the park. Felt like a normal guy! Even though I know I am not.
Have a nice holiday everyone. Off to steep morning tea.

Hahaha... us newcomers do like to write in early days, dont we? Its good though, its something new, I wish that pink cloud would continue, but normal sober life sets in eventually, and thats when its easy to become complacent. I think thats where a solid foundation really becomes important.

Hi everyone, checking in on day 18 weekend was great, still no cravings to speak of, going to a life ring meeting tonight and for a swim afterwards which should tore me out. Starting to get a bit anxious about the weekend, thinking of visiting my parents who have a house full of booze but don't know if it's too early to put myself at risk like that. Even though I've been doing great and they know I'm in recovery I guess I still don't fully trust myself if it's right there you know.
