Class of September 2015
Glad your back right away Jane. Isolation and not reaching out get me into trouble too.
Tiredofme, my drinking career also started socially. It helped me open up and not be so shy. I don't even feel that effect so much more anymore. It's like I'd rather be alone when I drink, honestly.
Day 5. Waking up sober and having so guilt is such a blessing.

Good morning all. Just a quick check in, hate the internet on my phone but know I need to be accountable this long holiday weekend. Day 4 and some real challenges ahead, but feeling strong mentally. Welcome to all the new posters. Have a great sober Saturday!
Hi All,
Day 7 for me and feeling ok. I am taking a trip with my father and daughter to Darlington this weekend, about 8 hours north of here, for the NASCAR race. I never would have been able to do this if I was still drinking. I have a question, might be TMI, but I have been having gas and very loose stools since a few days after quitting, could this still be my body adjusting to being alcohol free?

Hi class, day six now. Been for a long hike, had plenty to eat and now sprawled on sofa reading and posting on here. My AV is doing its party tricks though I've well and truly woken it up with my last few relapses, gna take a while to quieten it down again.
I'm another at home drinker, hardly ever drink in public and now I prefer it, being alone and drinking as much as I want, totally sad way to be!! Not tonight though, I've nothing in the house to drink, not going to get any so I'll make it through tonight and I know my AV will be quiet in the morning.
What's everyone got planned for tonight?
Peace X

I am also sprawled on the sofa in my little corner of the world, just sipping on fizzy water and watching one of my favourite comedy shows. Looking forward to getting the pjs on tonight!
Have a good one!

Cleaning my house and was my av was screaming it's head off. 2 years ago this weekend I blew it Labor Day weekend after 40 days thinking a few beers would be great while I cleaned and decorated for fall.
I'm not letting that happen again. Eating a big salad and trying to find my peace of mind again. I've been irritable with my girls and frustrated beyond belief every time things didn't go my way today. Typical setup for me to drink.
No way, not this time. I'm on a good path and I'm not straying.

Hello all. I'm new here and on day 3 of my last hang over. Having mood swings and tummy trouble. I hadn't drank for 3 months, but I sure made up for lost time! I won't want to drink for a while, and when the craving starts I'll stave it off for a week or 2, but might need to ask for help to resist. Hugs to all.
Wishing everyone strength this long weekend. The more times you stare those cravings down the strong er your recovery becomes

I failed again... shocker. Starting over tomorrow. Sorry, guys. I managed to slam back an entire bottle of red wine last night by myself. This is an all new low for me. Had a beer today, even though I didn't even want it all that bad, because I don't know why. Other than I'm an idiot. Restocked my fridge with Coke and am going to play some video games in a bit.

Sending strength to those of you starting again!
Day 6 here...treated myself to Mad Men box set and made some chilli beef yesterday. Had a few cravings...weirdest and strongest at about 11pm when I had gone to bed! Will be keeping busy doing housework and helping a friend with her website today.
