Congrats on staying sober and have fun with the dating. That should be quite a fun sober experience, provided you find a better match maker. LOL
I can't believe I'm 10 days away from 2 whole months sober.

Congrats on day 47 BigC! And I think we've all had dates that ended up being a bust, I certainly have. It's great you can laugh it off and not get discouraged.
You're doing great Cahabr, I just reached the 2 month mark and it feels incredible! Keep up the good work!
Day 63 here and heading into a very exciting yet challenging week. My brother's family will be here for their week long visit any minute. There will be more drinking going on around me than usual and I need to be on alert and keep my guard up not to let that get to me.

So I went to see the doctor yesterday. I was originally prescribed 10mg lexapro and 1mg klonipin. After two weeks the klonapin went to .5 mg and yesterday I was told to cease the klonapin. That was not a good idea! Feeling odd today so I called the doc and she gave me .25 mg for the next two week. I did some reading and know that this is used in matters such as these but I thought she would have tapered me off. Took one of the .25s just about an hour ago and feeling better already. I just don't want to trade one habit for another. I feel I've done great in the past 48 days and have t felt bad or odd at all. Any thoughts guys?

Hi Big C
I'm always of the opinion you're better to go with your Dr than the opinions of a bunch of us here on the internet.
We may indeed know a lot...but none of us have the benefit of your case history in front of us

Thanks for the support guys - I'm being proactive and that alone helps me to stay positive and kicks the fear well into the sidelines
Hope to be settled and back regularly soon

Hope everything is ok Dee, hang in there!
Day 65 here!
I've had moments the past few days where I wished I could drink all afternoon and evening like my dad and brother, but I haven't actually had the urge. I know if I decided to drink it would have to be secretive and it would be a binge rather than casual social drinking. I've been so happy lately, why ruin it? Especially with a substance I don't particularly care for anyway. It's just not worth it.

I'm not having a food day. I have no urge to drink nor am I even thinking of drinking but I'm just having a bad day. I don't feel well at all and I have deduced it to the doctor abruptly stopping the meds and then cutting them down when I complained. I just don't feel like me.
