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...

Thanks lovehoops, I'm feeling pretty ok about the holiday, strangely looking forward to it despite knowing drinkers with be around me. Downloaded some fiction and recovery stuff on my kindle, a meditation app on my phone, packed my colouring book, flavoured teas and trainers. I'm as prepared as can be.

Good morning August,
I am already posting in March where I made 111 days sober, then slipped, and have had days and weeks sober since. I am exhausted by the on and off. I also have posted occasionally in July while trying to get my sober legs back.
I figured I would post here, too. No harm in posting in three places!
I really want this, for good! I have three little kiddos depending on me.
I woke up laying next to my youngest. I didn't have tons and tons to drink but when I do this sober/drinking dance it takes a toll! Now my stomach is feeling the usual wishy-washy-ness, and hands are shaking because I'm so anxious right now. I want to feel better. But remember enough to keep me from going down the drinking path again.
Day 1. Again.

Welcome nonever and Applekat, day 1 or day 2 the main thing is you are here and have the desire to stop. There is a lot of wisdom and support on here and together with some form of recovery plan, YOU CAN DO IT. Well done. Elle

Great to see u Applekat!!
I'm trying it again myself- started in April, made it longest in May, then longer still in June. But I don't want to think about my Off-On in July and early August- insert self-shudder here...oye
Started on Dee's advice yesterday and have begun work on a recovery plan, something I didn't do before (despite pulling out the paperwork a multitude of times)
Full frontal honesty, here- thanks all for listening-and for continuing to let me try here-

Welcome everyone!
Day 11. Feeling good
It is supposed to rain until Sunday here and we have flash flood warnings going on. Scary but I think it'll all be fine..just have to not drive as much as possible.
I have been naturally falling asleep around 10-11pm and naturally waking at 5:45 - 6am. I used to fall asleep by 9 and wake at 7:30, roll out of bed, have to have caffeine all day, ugh. I definitely think it has a lot to do with not drinking or smoking, and giving up caffeine. I havent had any of that in 11 days. Wow.
I used to run on all of that stuff.

Have a great day everyone!

Probably having a more in depth and truthful conversation with my husband.
Also promising myself to check in here and read and post before taking a drink. Giving myself, my sober self, the chance to pause and post. Making that promise to myself.
My slips have been pretty much pre-determined. I have to tell on myself here instead!
