I am sticking close to SR tonight. I am being pressured by work to finish a project at home this week, before I go back officially on Monday. Work pressure is a trigger. I am 45 days today and I am not screwing that up because they are antsy!

I agree Lightning Bug. So much of my drinking involved self-medication from over-committed service to clients, friends , family etc... Drinking made me somehow able to put up with it. We have a right to our lives and personal space as well and everyone will be fine....

I put on my big girl panties from Walmart and actually shared at AA tonight. And guess what? The sky didn't fall on me and crush me like a bug. All this nonsensical fretting for nothing. I swear all my anxiety is caused by me. Duh.

Evening all! Coming to end of day 2 but been out all day and evening so not tempted. Was offered a beer tonight but declined. "Oh you are not drinking for the next 15 minutes??" said in jest and they are used to me saying "I've stopped drinking." I haven't made it known that I have stopped for a bit. I think I need to get into double digits first (It has never happened! Shameful! Wow, typing that has made me see how alcohol has always been part of me!) as I always trip up once I say ooh I've stopped drinking! Or I hit the 4 day mark.... Night all!

Couldn't post this last night so Good Morning on Day 3.

I tried to post last night also, but I am here at the end of day 10. I spent the day with my little toddler, and she definitely kept me busy! Oh how sweet and amazing she is! The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time outside. We painted on the patio, went to the playground, a tricycle ride, all kinds of fun! Just finished dinner, and winding down tonight for a movie and popcorn. Hope everyone had a great day! I enjoy reading everyone's posts on here. Keeps me focused and moving along! Cheers!

Good morning lovelies... it is 4am for me and I just did my morning meditation out on my patio. Was a little distracted (found out why my water bill was high last month - broken sprinkler head in the yard pouring water everywhere). But I got back on track, talked to my HP, and now I am reading the posts.

It is going to be a good day. Happy Thursday!

Awesome going LB. The first time I shared at AA I was shaking like a leaf but everyone was so lovely after and congratulated me.

Nothing like a toddler to make it all worthwhile bronzie. I love to watch the world through my own's eyes; living in the moment and being astounded by the littliest things. We could learn a thing or two from them.

Day 5, going well. Sleep still not great but I know it will eventually get better. Lots of packing to do for my holiday. Will be strange not to be doing it half tanked two hours before I leave. Maybe for once I'll remember everything!

I'm sorry if the site benign down upset you Try2, or anyone else here.

It happens with every site at some point - something breaks down or gets corrupted....

Maybe it's a good reminder to make sure that you have more than one support stream? It's always good to have as many options as possible?

Bookmark this link too - it's the emergency SR back up forum:

Well Day 10 yesterday went well - it feels like a bit of a milestone.

My parents who are my closest local support have departed for France for a fortnight. Typically when they go away for August I get lonely and drink like crazy. I'm determined that this is isn't going to happen this time. I guess I'll up my AA meetings and stick close to SR.

Thanks for all your support. On with Day 11...
