Old drinking buddy texted "bought a bottle of Bogle want to come play?" Ack! Have barely spoke to her in the last year. My guess is she's only texing because she is already half crocked. I turned her down. But dang, out of nowhere!

So much better with a clear head, glad that Christmas and New Year has now come and gone, the last 2 years I have been off everything for January & February so kind of makes it a little easier, will have to ensure no complacency kicks in tho. Enjoy the dance SM, much better interacting with the children without always thinking of ourselves and a beer. My daughter asked why I didn't drink at all over Christmas and then said "I much prefer you like this Dad" that's more than enough for me - I much prefer it too. Have a good day everyone.

So that is what I am dealing with today- anxiety through the roof and just feeling like the worst person in the entire world. So worried. about everything. But i'm back and hopefully can stay on track. Wondering how you all have been doing since I wandered away from the group..

The excitement of Friday often lead to much beer... and now there is none... so the nagging hunger is still here.... food, tea, cuddles with kids... still there. I don't like it. One bit..... And can't work out why! 8 days with nothing and 37/42 past days with nothing... why is this occurring? Arghhhhhh Hope everyone else is strong and finding roads to happiness. .. I like the dad daughter dance, sounds cool! Xx
In AA they call what you're feeling "restless, irritable & discontent". The solution is a recovery program. It doesn't have to be AA. Have you thought about working a program?
I think it's great that you came here to tell on your AV! Tell your AV to shush!!!!!!!
Hang in there!

Friday was a really big day for me for a lot of years...it took some time for that to change, but it did If anyone feels like they need a reward or something to look forward to, then why not think of something positive to do on a Friday night? D

Hey guys!
It's snowing here, it's a beautiful day and I am getting ready to go to a concert. Trying to find some nice outfit in my wardrobe, but...seems like nothing is fitting anymore. I simply got fatter. No wonder when I've spent so many days just sitting on the couch drinking - only moving to get more. To think I used to run four days a week...And walk for 45 minutes to work. To be honest, I am surprised I haven't gained even more weight.
It's just a superficial thing, but it really got my good mood down. I feel like a tragic figure when I see all those nice things I used to wear back in 2013. When I still was out, smiling.
End of pity-party, I have to go. I've found something that's good enough and I will work my way back. One day I will wear all those things again, go out and smile. I will show my pathetic self who I used to be!
Have a great day sober day guys!
