4:00pm - Doing so much better than earlier:-). Thank you to everyone of you for all of your support today. I am trying to follow all of you and to summarize my thoughts, God couldn't be more proud of all of us. I do believe in him and the power of where there is a will there is a way. Keep up the good work everyone and I will check back in later. Thanks again:-).

Glad to hear that, KWhite. I went back and started reading this forum from March 01. This class has grown so much. I feel as if we are all really special. I'm sure the other classes are the same, but, hey, we're the best!

I hope your day continues to get better.

My ex just called that he wants to have our daughter tonight instead of tomorrow as expected. Stupid AV instantly piped up. What a jerk (AV, not my ex).

Hang tight, clearlyheaded. Use this unexpected child-free night to focus on recovery. And ice cream.

Just burned 400 cals on stationary bike, had a long bath, checking in here now and then maybe a movie in bed. 8:43pm I'd just be getting ready to start drinking now.

I've also booked tickets for myself and kids for the movies tomorrow. I've NEVER taken them to the movies myself. Need to fill my time instead of getting lonely and depressed and what better way than to do it than a way that will benefit the kids too. Win win.

Ready for day 3 tomorrow.

Goodnight everyone. X

Good plan JustQuit, enjoy the movie.

Been a bit weird here tonight and tough, not because I want to drink, thinking on it my AV has been pretty quiet.

Just tired, more than I should be. I guess I am just bored, first Friday not drinking not sure what to do with myself.

Played some gta, which I won't say is more fun when drinking, it's just now I am sober I find doing the same thing again and again tedious.

Anywho, running a bath, going to read the last few chapters of RR and relax for a bit.

Hope y'alls sober evening is going well

Where is her blog? I would like to say hi.

I found it on her page & told her we miss her & are praying for her. Poor thing. :-(

Hi all, I was part of last years March class but I messed up several times, ending in a few day binge this past week, so I think it's about time I used a new sobriety date and check in here
Day 1 again for me

Welcome Immri and everyone else! Day 25 for me for what it's worth... I'm not too into counting days because I can get overwhelmed easily but I understand it's good in the beginning.

I am sober today and I am grateful for that. The other problems will be addressed but being sober comes first, for today. I'd like to March on with you all.

Popping in to say goodnight. Still sober but I've had a really crappy few hours and I'm putting myself to bed early. Still feeling really bad too so that's not helping.
Wishing you all a great night. I'll see you all tomorrow.

Sorry you had a crappy few hours. Hang in there & get some rest. :-) You're doing great!

Hang tight everyone. Doing great. I had nanoseconds of thoughts of drinking a couple times tonight (nothing in house though) and I just took deep breaths and said the great simplistic line I heard on SR..."nothing changes if nothing changes".

Closing out day 19. Not my longest run at this anyway, but feeling different this time.

Not going to lie. I had a couple of rough hours tonight after my daughter left for her dad's. I spent an hour making myself dinner and another hour trying to think about things other than drinking. Finally made a nice pot of tea and feel much more centered and relaxed. I think I'm going to order a copy or RR. I've read bits from it here and there and would like to read it in entirety.
