Luckily my positives to sobriety far outweigh these. Drinking was never about the alcohol or the fun....it was always a really poor coping mechanism.

Well the night is winding down for me - bedtime routine is compete 
Tomorrow is a day off and it is back to running - I really struggled this week and I think a large part of that is due to a lack of physical activity....it's also yoga in the park which I love, love, love!! <3
It's oddly quiet in here tonight - what's everyone up to?

Hi gang. Seems many of us are a little busy right now. I don't have as much time to post, but I try and stop by and read a bit as often as I can. If I don't at least do that, then I start to drift away and bad things happen.
As far as the positives of drinking, there really aren't any now. At one point, sure - but now it's the equivalent of picking up a hammer and hitting myself in the head until I'm knocked out.
I really hope everyone had a great day. We've assembled a pretty special group - thanks to you all for being here

Hi guys! Hope it's ok if I pop in and read your posts sometimes. You are a special group!
Bobbie and Kayak - I'm in Chesterfield! We are so close to each other. I'm not sure but I thought Kayak was heading west... Not sure if that was permanent or a vacation. That was a post awhile back and I haven't been on in a while.
Take care all.

Hi Olivia I love when others pop in.
MITA i'm the same, reading as much as i can but not much time to write anything. I wonder why we're all busy at the same time?
Thinking about the positives of drinking question, I don't really have any more now either. Maybe the only thing left would be in social situations, to feel more comfortable. I think that's the only thing I'm still 'struggling with'. But even then, not really, I just don't attend things that make me uncomfortable
All the other upsides to drinking have stopped working for me, it doesn't calm my anxiety, isn't fun, I hate the taste, it makes me ill immediately. I'm so thankful for that, I cannot imagine how much harder this time in my life would be if I was drunk and ill on top of everything else.
Ok back to studying, have a nice night everyone.
