Day 9. Feeling pretty good. Started trying to clean up my diet. Need to lose about 40 pounds. Been lifting weights in my home gym and going to start in on the rowing machine this weekend. It feels good to exercise.
I think it took me a full week to recover from the sleep deprivation caused by my last 3 month bender. I'm probably still recovering, but I feel a bit more clear headed and energetic now. It's amazing what a toll booze takes on my body.
Looking ahead, I wonder how long I'll be able to stay sober. Trying to just take it one day at a time. Need to go back to my AA group but feeling a little ashamed about the relapse. Of course if anyone would understand it'd be that group

Is that like the opposite of the Pink Cloud?

I cant seem to be able to start a new thread no matter how much I try so I am posting here!!
Hello everyone my name is Andy I am a student living in the Los Angeles valley area, I was 82 days sober until this Friday where I took one of my many, I can drink like normal people tests. Started with Non alcoholic beer on Friday, went to smirnoff ice on Saturday and by Sunday I was with my old friend whiskey, I don't think I have a major problem quitting like other people do, I keep busy work out everyday study read watch movies etc.. Also I have quit for 90 days and 80 days 2 separate times in 2015 alone, its just that I re convince myself that I don't have a problem because I'm able to quit..! But when I drink, I binge drink like crazy usually going through a fifth of whiskey in one session just to pass out, wake up drink more and then pass out again...
I don't think AA is for me so I am here this is my first post!
Hope you guys can help me STAY sober for 100 days at least!!
Cheers (ohh the Irony!!)
Andy

Welcome Andy. I don't really have advice for you, I'm trying to quit for good. If I were planning on drinking again after 100 days, I'd probably just start again now. Is there any reason you don't want to give it up for good, seeing how troubling your binges are?

One thing I'm really beginning to enjoy here is I can tell my brain is slowly transitioning to sober is normal. Usually with me, drunk is normal and sober is abnormal, whereas it's switching the other way around now.
Pretty cool.

Ugghh... another thunderstorm here. I personally like the rain, but tell that to my dogs if it start thundering. I open the bedroom door, and the one hides underneath my bed, so he's good there.
The other panics far more though, and just hides underneath my office desk, and uncontrollably trembles and hyperventilates in fear. Poor little man. Nothing I can really do either. Can't sit there and coddle him or anything, because then he's going to think there's something actually wrong, and it'll freak him out even more. I just have to act as if there's nothing happening.
Might have to try wrapping him in a tight t-shirt, as I've read that sometimes helps.
EDIT: And he's wrapped! Doesn't seem to help worth a sh!t Well, so much for that. Hopefully it stops soon, because I want to goto the market tonight and get shrimp for dinner.

Ok, cool. Well, hopefully at least the one guy calms down a little as time goes on. Doubt it though. He has separation anxiety too -- stands at the back corner of the yard and howls for about 30 seconds every time I leave. heh.
They're both about 30kg, so no snuggling in my lap allowed here.
