Keep staying strong!!
This!

...................AWW, Ardy. Harder to go on drinking than to quit. Drill that into you. Talk to someone other than those around may help. We Love you here. Never forget that. Call me if you like. GEt some rest and rethink your day.

Work has always been one of my top stressors/drinking triggers and the past couple of weeks have been really stressful. In reality though, it is how I handle the stress that determines how my life moves forward. Work is work.....it gives me some degree of satisfaction and the paycheck keeps the lights on. My life in general is so much more than how my career defines me and I must remind myself of that each day.

So when work overwhelms me I touch base with my Sobriety basics, like Suze said, and take it 1 Day at a time. And like Strat suggested, planning ahead and looking forward to activities, people and places outside of work.

Martina--I'm also at 7.5 months, PAWS is real and it's happening! Personally I do whatever it takes to stay sane during work hours. I take mini walking breaks, drink tons of water, have healthy high protein snacks on hand, breathe and say positive affirmations, take restroom breaks and watch silly animal clips on my phone during said breaks-

Yesterday I almost resigned but then something wonderful happened and my day just brightened up. So yesterday was a powerful reminder that taking it 1 Day at a time applies to all areas in my life.

Take care all.....xxxx
Love your message, Bandi.

Bump!

24 more please, Dear God.

Congrats to our Milestoners today! You're awesome!

Congrats to those who remain strong and sober today!

Prayers for the sick and for all those struggling today.

There is a way. A Solution. Pick that up instead of a drink. Think!

Everyone right now, Hug yourself. Tell yourself you are worth it. You are a child of God and deserve nothing less than love. Then hug someone else today. Sending hugs your way!

24 more please, Day 7 and won't be home free until day 8. Had about 5 recent attempts to make day 2 without success. Feeling a lot better and confident this time. Made it to 75 back in Feb but decided to have just one or two, we all know how that plays out.
