PART FIVE that means the thread has been going for awhile, yay!

Forgot to mention I went to my annual physical a couple of weeks ago. Dropped 14 pounds, every blood marker in normal range (including a couple of liver ones that had started to go off the reservation last year). As Donald Trump (who I do not like) would say -- #winning !!

Day 119
 

Look at us graduating and junk to a new thread!!!

Day 119 for me and everything seems so normal now. Can you believe 4 months ago our lives were completely different? On a old normal Monday morning I would be feeling really crappy here at work. Hungover from Sunday football watching and eating crap food. Nope, I ran yesterday morning, cleaned house a bit, went to a soccer game, grilled steaks, bacon wrapped jalapenos, grilled corn on the cob and made wild rice for dinner. We had a wonderful Sunday night, even washed my hair and straightened it and got ready for the week. Oh and I even got a nap in yesterday afternoon. Life feels good yall to be a normal human finally.
I still get those weird feelings of, "something is missing" type things. I know it's the AV talking to me but I just eat chocolate in place of that. I've never been a big sweets person but I've bought Halloween candy 2xs already and been through almost all of it. GEEZ!!! Thankfully I'm on a running kick or I'd be in major trouble.

Happy SOBER Monday guys!

That sounds really great soberforme. Well done.
Unfortuantely i had a bit of a slip up this weekend but learned from it and moving forward again. Hello to all the june class.

Day 135. I start my new job next week and I am experiencing a renewed sense of hope; something that I haven't felt in a decade. I am certain that I was suffering from depression but was unable to separate it from my drinking. Was I depressed because of the effect of alcohol abuse or was I drinking to self-medicate the depression? A bit of both I'm sure but it doesn't matter now. By cutting out the booze and taking antidepressants, my mental health has undergone a remarkable change in 4 months even though my circumstances didn't change. It was all about brain chemistry and a distorted perception of things.

Hello Folks! Thanks for the new thread, Dee.

I was the last guy on here last night, and the first one on today. How bout that?

Not much to say today. Busy at work for the foreseeable future. Good and bad, I suppose. Day 106.

WL: Look at you :c011: I'm so happy for you! Your post made me smile and congrats on the new job! Life is good and even better doing life sober!

If you guys dont mind I would like to consider myself still à bit part of the june classe. Folks if things have gotten hard for any of you lately dont make my mistake.
Your all inspiring !!

You're always welcome here man! Just jump back on with both feet!

I'll second vman, don't drink no matter what! (And by all means, stick around vman! Get all the support you can get from everywhere you can get it! Hiding I find is part of my addiction, not part of being sober.)

I managed to get through September with about a third of the days sober days. On day 5 now, and I'm feeling like October is it. Had a talk with my wife, and I find i just have to keep reminding myself of the obvious (how will I feel tomorrow, I have a fatty liver, i hate memory loss, i feel great not drinking, etc.)

Congrats on the job WL! You are doing amazing.

Day 107. Got a lot riding on some very important meetings this afternoon. Big time stressors, but I'm dealing with it.

Day 121
 

Day 121 for me and the urge is gone and my life is different. It does not include alcohol at all. My husband still drinks but not nearly as much as he used to thankfully. Anytime he does drink it's grosses me out to smell it though. It literally makes my stomach turn to smell it. *GAG*

Work has been stressful lately and we have people leaving left and right causing me to be more of a dumping ground by my director. Pretty frustrated but I'll survive. My tenant is supposed to be out by 10/31st still owes me some rent for this month. I'm at a loss when it comes to this crap, I'm trying to keep the peace since it's the final month but I'm so afraid he will not be gone on the last day of the month. Grrrr

Thankful I'm sober and dealing with things with a clear head though. I'm so stressed out though I feel like I could just cry.

Another day nearly done.
Have to drink lots of water !
Does anyone know Toulouse in the class ? :)

Are you talking about this?

Toulouse Cafe and Bar ? A distinctly Parisian French bistro with locations in Dallas, Houston and Austin.

Nope I think referring to Toulouse where Concorde first flew from in 1973?

LOL I guess I was way off! LOL

Yep I was talking about the city not the bar :)

I delinked the bar site guys - not only is it a commercial link...but it's not the kind of link we want here, lol :)

D

thanks dee. I think it was some harmless fun but deffo dont want to be promoting a bar... even saying it is funny though.
