Plenny, good luck with your boyfriend. I hope it goes well.
Silly- congrats on finding a possible sponsor!
CC-Its 22.10 here, we may be in the same time zone (GMT +1)? I haven't been to any of the chat meetings here as the timing is off for me...

Day 6 coming to an end and today was fine, no strong cravings but more fleeting thoughts which I could deal with.
Sorry I haven't quite figured out how to respond to multiple posts and by the time I've read them all I can't remember what I was going to say and to who. Tomorrow I'll start taking notes ☺I do read and appreciate every one though, thank you all for being my lifeline at the moment ❤
I hope today wasn't too tough for everyone, stay strong Januaries!

Hi Gib - I think you must be an hour ahead of me, likewise I haven't managed to catch one of the chat meetings, would be a super-late stay-up! Might make an attempt at some point with the help of some energy drinks!
Cara - it's certainly a challenge to keep tabs on everyone's posts on here isn't it! Shame in a way we can't tag mini-replies beneath each other's posts. Suppose it will get easier as we get to know each other's scenarios and challenges.

I suppose we're all lucky it's so busy, feels good to have so many who know exactly how you feel!

I responded rudely. I really cannot imagine querying someone about abuse they suffered to satisfy my own morbid curiosity. I am pissed. I wish the system allowed fantastic cussing, because I'm using all kinds of bright, colorful words - in interesting and unique combinations.
GOOD GRIEF!
Edited to add: I asked work to send me home early, and they happily complied.

Use the ignore function here.
Ignore bothersome members. If there is someone on the forum that bothers you, select the Ignore option on the drop down menu under their name on the post. You won't see any posts from this member again.
You won't see PMs from that person again either

Hello all, I'm struggling pretty bad. Today is a family birthday. There was a dinner, I decided not to go - for my sobriety. Now I feel that was incredibly selfish.
I want to drink anyway, which was my worry in going. I made a bad decision.

Good morning, day 11 here. It's hard to believe that on day 1 I felt like it was impossible to even make 1 week, let alone past 1 week, looking back I am so happy I perservered because I am now anxiety free when I wake up in the morning and that is the best feeling ever. I have a longggggg way to go but I know I'm on my way and that's the most important thing. Have a lovely day everyone!

Our inner addict loves to play with our sense of duty.
People miss things all the time for valid reasons.
This is a valid reason.
Honestly, 12 months from now noone will remember or care that you weren't at this celebration, bluedog....
There will be other nights and other parties, when you're a little stronger
If it's really eating at you, call your family member and do something nice and non alcoholic with them, one on one, sometime soon - thats a better way to celebrate their birthday

Welcome Beerbgone, Martin and Amazing joy, glad you joined us!
Day 7 winding down and AV has been quiet so far. Tomorrow I think I will put a plan in place and print it out, keeping a copy in my car, just in case AV wakes up and catches me off guard, again!
