Troy I feel you on that. Now if I didn't have any work I would be freaking out, but having so much is overwhelming, and it's not like it won't be there tomorrow if I just take all day today to drink, right? Ugh.

Checking in on Day 3. Looking forward to hitting 30 days in May like all those April-ers did

After being signed up on here for a little under 2 months, I'm officially signing up for this month's "class". In the mail today, I got another sobriety book to read and several notebooks so I can journal my sobriety (in one) and write other concerns/non-sobriety stuff in another one.

I'm on the iPhone too. Others will see it. We only typical emoticons used by the iphone.

My Droid tablet shows them. Go figure.
I guess that's one notch for the droid fans :/

Anyone else joining the chat meeting in 20 minutes? I have attended a few in the past and they are usually REALLY good!

I couldn't get in to chat. Weird, I have never had a problem before.

Sorry I wasn't there-I just didn't want you to think I flaked out on it I hope you enjoyed!

There is only the faintest hint of light in the morning sky, but I can already tell that it is a great day to stay sober. Although, it may require a nap or two as well.

Struggling to get back on track. Didn't drink yesterday but did on Thursday so I guess I'm a 'May-ite'

Go May!

So glad everyone is joining in!

Yesterday was the hardest day 1 I've had in a while. Maybe kindling?? Glad to be through it and waking up sober on this beautiful Saturday morning!!

Well past the 48 hour part. So far, physical symptoms seem to have diminished, main thing that remains is feeling in a VERY low mood (met up with a friend earlier, cried a bit, which helped). That and still full of anxiety about the very near future. The depression and the anxiety being linked. Serotonin levels more or less completely tanked.

It just breaks my heart that I'm not going to be teaching at my old school, going to miss my students so, so much. And worried about how I'll do at my new school - just hope I can meditate myself back into a better frame of mind, or else the new students are going to have some crappy lessons.
