Thank you for reply hamartia and prayers. I wish you well in your life as well. I hope things get better between you and your husband. It is eye opening to see all that we have missed when we get sober isn't it? It's defiantly not easy to take in. I find myself crying a lot the last 2-3 days because of all of the hurtful things I have said or done to people I supposedly care about. I can only blame myself for the mess my life is in because I am the one who chose to drink. By choosing to be sober I am choosing ME! Only I can change the future by my actions and decisions.
Welcome all of the new October members! Stay strong!!

Had a good day. Made chicken dinner and managed to nail the Yorkshire puddings. Yum .
I've started reading Tao of sobriety and it's pretty good so far. Also resumed an online midfulness course. Going out for a meal and the cinema with gf tomorrow so looking forward to that. Off to bed soon. Gonna read more of my book. Keep it up gang. :0)

Day 2. Went to a meeting. Got a chip. Ran 25 miles. Easier without a hangover. Went to a music and beer festival with a friend. Was present for him. Good convo that I won't black out. Today, it was more pleasant not to drink that to deal with prepartying/focusing on getting the next drink/hoping I am hiding it well.
I read "I need to stop drinking!" yesterday. The message was to focus on what you're getting (hours in the day, clarity, being present, a healthier/slimmer body) and not what you're giving up.

Good morning everyone from a very rainy London. Feeling a bit flat this morning, not really sure why though.
I think my driving lesson yesterday is bothering me. I keep thinking I should be able to drive like everyone else and it frustrates the hell out of me that I find it so difficult. I know logically that its a bit ridiculous to expect to be Lewis Hamilton when I've only had five lessons but I am sooo not good at being bad at something.

Hang in there Pushkin, I think it would be more difficult to learn driving in a huge city like London . I grew up very rural and was able to advance to busier areas as confidence/experience grew. And it's easy for me to feel flat on rainy Monday work days....but it's better without the hangover right? I hope your day gets better.

Oh everything is SO much better without a hangover 
Even bad grumpy no good days are better. I might be grouchy but I'm not fuzzy headed and throwing up and wanting to murder everyone around me (well, maybe a little bit on the last one... )

Today I'm back to 11 days sober. Had great weekend with my gf. Decorated the outside of her house for Halloween.
Watched the walking dead premiere yesterday
And tonight going out for coffee with an AA sponsor to discuss step three.
Enjoy the day my friends.
