Day...53? Now that I see how close I'm getting to the 60 day mark, I'm wondering if some of the angst I'm experiencing is related to that. The funny thing is, I don't want to drink because I don't believe it would help (in fact, as we all know, it would make things SO much worse). I just want to start feeling better.

I wish I could take a leave of absence from work, and fully focus on my recovery for a while. Wouldn't that be amazing? Of course, I live in the real world and my boss was hospitalized over the weekend, so I need and want to help him by taking on more work, not less. On the other hand, it will keep me productive and busy.

Just wanted to say I am really proud of all of you!

I slipped at Day 17, got back on the wagon for a couple of days and then had about an almost 2 week binge, so I have joined the July class since I feel like I probably can relate more in the day count sense, but I know we can all ultimately relate on here!

Still want to keep up with you all and drop in time to time! Keep it up everyone! You are doing amazing!

I would like to join the Class of June EVEN though my quit day was May 30th and I have had 4 single-night lapses If anyone objects I will gladly move to July, but these 2 months have been such a profound experience, and my lapses strengthened my resolve so much that I really need to embrace my 50 clean days and move on from the 4 bad ones.

Well done on getting back on the wagon, you know you can do it. Learn from the slips and try to recognise when you are in danger again and SHOUT up for support - please drop in and let us all know how you are doing

Day 30 for me. Still sober and enjoying the clear head and thoughts. Still painting this damn house ready to sell it and my husband is still at his sisters and ready to move into his new place. He's all signed up, so that is not going to change. I want to thank you all for your support, especially in the early days when I didn't think I wanted to continue without him. Still managing some walking but the decorating has had to take priority for now. Started a job too, only one day a week but it's gardening at a big house close by, I miss my own garden, so it's a double bonus, paid to do something I really love. Keep up all the hard work and here's to heading to another sober weekend

Day 61. The old saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" holds true in early sobriety. I am just focused on doing the next right thing, one day at a time. I didn't drink today. It was thus a good day.

Day 31 - 1 whole calendar month! Really enjoying the clarity of mind I feel. Certainly not missing the shrivelled brain feeling, the fear I experienced every morning, not remembering if I had anything to apologise for from the night before, the trembling, not being productive. ....................... Thank you everyone
