Perhaps Dee can explain better.
I've been posting congrats over at the April 2014 group last couple days. Peeps have been hitting 1yr sober over there. How cool is that!!

I need those reminders.
I know what will happen if I drink again. But i also know that dragon can be more convincing than I can be. I could learn some things from it that would be useful in sales.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, I don't like my job so its nice to have the option. I want to try to prove to myself I can stay sober - this gives me extra motivation.
I feel like my body is adjusting back to sobriety. I don't usually have too much difficulty on Sundays but I want to check in more often to stay on track.
Hope everyone is having a good, sober day.

The only change is this thread, and you guys as a group, move to the Newcomers Daily Support Forum
Newcomer's Daily Support Threads - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information
to make way for what will be the new Class of May 2015 thread here in this forum

Hello all and happy April. It's hard to believe it's almost May. This month really went quickly.
My twin daughters turn 17 in about 3 weeks. Time seems to go so much faster once they hit middle school. Sometimes I wish I could slow it down but other days, it's an amazing pleasure watching them mature.
I'm going to have a few hours alone soon so I'm going to bunker down with a comfy throw and finish "To Kill A Mockingbird". It's been an amazing read.
Happy for sobriety today. It's truly an amazing gift.

Day 4 wasn't too fun for me. But the clouds parted shortly thereafter. Hopefully the same will happen for you.
And ditto on the water. Drink tons of it. It helps in more ways then one. Do your body some good and you'll be rewarded for your efforts!

My attitude is overall way better. Doom and gloom moments aren't nearly as bad.
Today was the first time in a long time I woke up with a great attitude. That was nice. Didn't necessarily stay with me all day, but those moments are growing while depression is shrinking. Very noticeable.
More energy. More spring in my step. All that. Loving it.
Before if I was tired, a rum and coke or vodka and red bull was my fix. After time, those would just make me sleepy after 30min or so. My anxiety was so high and sleep was so bad that drinking would shortly lead to a nap. And then to wake up and get moving again....you guessed it...time for a drink!
What a mess. Glad that's over and looking forward to continued improvements with body, mind, and soul.
Glad your here NewDay.
Catch ya later

Dinner out. No drink. Didn't want one at all.
Would be nice if every moment was like that.
Looking forward to waking up happy again.
It's official. I made the weekend and I'm officially calling it one week without alcohol, or any other substance for that matter. I really have no idea how long it's been since I've gone a week without putting some kind of drug / alcohol in my body. I honestly can't think of one single week for the past 30 years. I'm sure there was a few in there somewhere. But THIS ONE COUNTS!
It's great to be in control.

I finished the book. It was an incredible read. I'm starting another one tomorrow. It's nice to get lost in someone else's mind for a bit.

Hi everyone, just joining this thread as someone who quit this month - yesterday was my first night without drinking (and my first with some decent sleep) in a long while. The only difference I'm really feeling today is that I'm feeling incredibly irritable, and hungry for a full english breakfast with extra everything. And pizza for pudding.
