Welcome CountryGal, and all the new faces 
I just watched my sober counter click to 9 days.
Thought I would share today's quote.
"Put your interest in your future, because you are going to spend the rest of your life there."
Hope everyone has a good day!

Back to day 1. No plan in action and just being careless.
My new plan is back to 1 day at a time. Enjoying the moment and being grateful. Going to start a journal and get 20 minutes of exercise a day.
After 10 months sober i picked it up like riding a bike. I feel regret letting the av take me back again. I thought I had it beat.
Anyhow onto finishing day 1 strong.

Morning all - checking in for day two. Some night sweats last night, and definitely beating myself up that I'm still on this roller coaster, but at least not drinking and not hungover today.
Keep on keeping on, everyone- I plan on working on my recovery plan today. That's the one thing I never tried before. So this time taking Dee's advice

Finally back on after major SR withdrawal. Checking in on everyone. How is everything going? Anyone feel like throwing their hands up? Urges or cravings? I had a passing thought today that all my anxiety today could have been avoided with a xanax. But to me " just a Xanax "is the whole bottle chased down with a jack and coke. Damn addict in my head!

As we start to near the weekend my cravings and thoughts of drinking are starting to increase. With the hangover a few days gone I suddenly begin to forget that I cannot and should not drink. I'm so happy SR is back up and running, I need to stay near by this week and through the weekend for sure!!
How is everyone doing? I hope well
