Hi classmates! We can do this FOR ONE MORE DAY! I'm rooting (and praying) for all of us...

Gifford

Feel great but tired. I did a bike ride this morning, got back did the laundry and then the ironing and then made dinner. I ate a lot, but after my ride I don't care. What I do care about, and feel proud of is 14 days sober.
I will go to bed feeling happy and healthy, I hope everybody here does as well.

So I guess I'm back on the wagon- yet again. Two week bender culminating in a short hospital visit, and now two days into a librium detox. 5 days with no drinking so far. But it never was so bad, the shakes lasted only 3 days, and the valium made sure I never got any seizures, but my bp and pulse are still all over the place. I honestly think it nearly killed me this time. Still might, as without the librium I think my body would have given up days ago. Im tapering it now by 20mg a day, so will be done in a week. Wish me luck. Though I don't think I deserve it, after all the times I've screwed up the last couple months. Nobody gets unlimited chances.

Welcome and good luck SM.
You have a chance again this time, that's what matters right now.
At least you stopped and sorted it out.

Glad you had a good bike ride Gifford - I went out on my bike too - it felt good to be out in the sun

I am SO proud of myself. My husband offered up wine last night (my favorite) and I said no. I ran a 10K race today and the beer was flowing, drinking all around me, and I didn't partake. A few more hours and I will have hit day 3.

Well, being alone has come a little sooner than planned but I'm confident that I will have a good sober week with my daughter while my husband is away for work. He has been very short with me lately so I am actually looking forward to a break from the negativity.

Today is day 14! Two weeks ago today I decided enough was enough. I'm starting to see improvements, although my depression and anxiety are still strong.

I got up this morning, we for a run. Made breakfast for my family, then we went to church for the first time in forever. I loved it! The message seemed like it was directed at me. I'm beginning to see that there is a happy life without drinking.

congrats newlight!

Hello all,SM,I hope everything is ok,it definitely feels like the withdrawal gets worse every time but then so does the drinking Vinny congrats on being a new uncle, day 3 winding up for me after a relapse that was out of the blue and a complete waste of time, it wasn't fun,it was stupid but I'm not giving up on myself, hope everyone is well

Ya, this time I take part in a community program. Some structure couldnt hurt, right? Plus, there's other things I gotta do this time, like find a new job before I get kicked out of the apartment in a month. Rock, meet bottom. Also getting on antabuse as soon as the detox is complete.

SM - good that you have some support.

Ok the plan today is to start and end the work day with some exercise - about to hit the gym - then have a nice long bike ride after work.
Let's see how that goes - at least I'll have a reason to feel tired this evening

I think that is where that recovery saying comes in..."Fake it until you make it"....
