Day 15 (I think? Nice to start to lose track.) I'll be meeting my parents new pup tonight! And taking care of a task I've been procrastinating for quite some time. Lovely sober day ahead!

Sleepy is part of December 2015. Shes 58 days sober according to her post. She obviously just popped in the say hi, many people do. Or she may have hit the wrong thread.

How's everyone doing? I've managed a couple little accomplishments today. Ok, so I counted brushing teeth, showering and getting dressed as 3 separate accomplishments but, at least I did it.
I've realized I HAVE to make a store run. Thought I had more dog food. I really don't want to. Straight there, straight back.
How can my AV be piping up already while I nurse the bruises from the IV's? It knows 'just a few' would make this awful feeling stop.
Straight there, straight back.
Hey, AV! You don't win today.

Omg the comments and faces i have had in work this afternoon because i am not drinking tomorrow are mind blowing.
Theres only 5 of us 2 are ok with it one womans face looked like shes chewing a wasp and my boss come out with a doosey. After explaining I hadnt had a drink for 4 weeks and really didnt fancy an hangover on a 5 + hour train journey he said.
If i didnt drink (meaning him) I would feel like an alcholic .!!??!! What type of illogical nonense is that.
This is a crowd who think I hardly drink.
Made me more determined tomorrow but gosh I realise why I have had to isolate to get this far I have 2 more nights like this in March arrrg.

Pretty much when particiption in most classes dwindles by quite a lot, so I kind of hopped onto this class to tag along with you all. To be surrounded by those who are thinking and working and posting every day about their sobriety and hopefully offer my support to them as well. Life has just been so busy lately that I have not posted as much as I had planned to but I have been following along as much as I can and rooting you all on! And you all have helped me too, as today is my Day 60! This is the longest I have been sober (not counting my pregnancies) in all of my adult life. So thank you all.
The classes are always full at the beginning but its dwindles to less than half after two months. Hopefully I will still be posting in 60 days and I will prob do the same as you..hop from one class to the other. I started in class Aug 2014 and I still post there but there are only 6 pupils left out of over 40 at one point.

I just had to say it to someone who would understand. You are right its so engrained into our culture its frightening and has been a reason for relapsing in the past.
Thought work mates would have been easy my friends are on another level that will be a hard one to talk myself out of. They just dont understand the word no when drinking is concerned even going to the gym involves a drink after.

tiredofme.My excuse- I have been telling people that something isn't right with my liver and I have to abstain for a while. Doctor's orders.
Yep I know what you mean with the gym. People go a for a pint and a curry after the gym. Whats the point lol?
Its gonna be tough to change our old habits but hopefully through perseverance we will find new ones, healthier ones to replace them.Even if this means getting rid of people/ places that are triggers. Don't know about you but I have been doing a lot of mental spring cleaning these past 30 days.
Its been an eye opener and things are slowly clicking into place...not sure what as yet but wanting to find out.
SOBER IS SEXY!

Day 10 coming to an end. I have it double figures. Feeling proud and happy. Cravings are at bay for now but i am staying vigilant as tomorrow is the start of the weekend and that is when it hits hardest.
i am going to plant my vegetable garden and do some DYI around the house.
Will catch up on posts later when in bed.
