End of Day 13 for me.
Tomorrow is going to be hard for me... I know that the opportunity and temptation to slip will be there. I've moved back in with my parents as part of my recovery but tomorrow I'm going to the city - which means several hours alone with time to kill and money in my pocket. It scares me. I hope I can be strong and smart!

Thank you, Dee. This is absolutely true and I should have worded myself differently. I basically meant that if you do experience a relapse, don't look at it as a failure or reason to throw in the towel. Get up, dust yourself off and get back to work. Try to figure out what was missing in your recovery plan, ask for advice, reformulate. Do whatever you need to do. Relapses should not be considered steps in your recovery, but rather obstacles to it.

End of day 6 here. There where a few really hard moments today that came oht of the habit of driving to get wine in the middle of the afternoon. But i didn't even stray off course whils running around. Just kept going and sticking to my plane. Having a plan to stick to has been a life saver for me
Its funny, i used to be so ridged about plans that if things changed it would through me off and set me off -either i'd get really pissed off or the anxiety would get crazy. It took a lot of work for me to get to the point were i could just roll with it. Now it looks like having a plan and sticki.g to it is going to be what saves me haha

End of day 10 for me! Going to bed sober. I'm jumping into the September group bc my sobriety date is 9/23. Today was the first day I have been alone and "able" to drink. These are the nights I usually struggle but tonight hasn't even been a little struggle. Starting the week off with new night time habits! Congrats to everyone else going to bed sober tonight!
Tis the end of day 20 for me, and it was an alright day.
In case anyone noticed ... I accidentally put the wrong month (August) as the month of my sobriety date in my signature. It is actually September. It is correct now but I wasn't trying to "fib" about sober time.
Got back from an AA meeting awhile ago. It was a good meeting though I ate way too much cake. It was a two year birthday and the speaker's story was a good one to hear.
Hope everyone else is well. There are a few people from this class that used to be posting frequently and have disappeared and I sincerely hope they are ok and wish they would come back and say hi.
Looking forward to catching up with you all tomorrow

Morning all
Welcome Elfie & Wildflower
congratulations to all on their days whether 1 or 31.
I love waking in the morning and coming onto here. As you're mainly in the USA and Oz there are plenty of posts for me to read when I wake up here in cold, dark Scotland
Happy Sober Monday everyone.
