Hi Gifford, very happy to see you're still with us. Vman, I think you and I are more or less in the same time zone, which means you're up bright and early for your DIY, which it seems is continuing from yesterday. Man, I used to do nothing useful on weekends when drinking!

Have great sober Sunday all.

Please can I rejoin? Day 1 again for me but I won't let it beat me. I am determined to get back up and try again. Downfall was stupidly getting some wine hampers for Christmas presents and yes I opened them. Well lesson learned will replace them with food hampers. Foolish of me to buy them I know �� x

Day 18 for me - just had to count. It was interesting yesterday. Out with the same people as the previous night and a couple of the girls were like "your month is nearly over - are you going to go out and get trashed?" and I was like no- not feeling any urge to drink - which is true and might keep it going - which is true. I do feel a bit guilty about lying, but I realised that I didn't care. I have no problem not drinking, I just have a problem not drinking the second, etc, if I've drunk the first.

Sorry don't know where the question marks came from

Of course you can rejoin. I know it's no laughing matter, but that must be one of the funniest explanations for a setback that I've ever heard. Were the hampers wrapped in gift paper and labeled already by the time you opened them?

I'm sorry and please don't take this the wrong way, but your post brought a smile to my face, and a (small) chuckle.

Pinky1

Lol I know yes they were in wicker baskets with tissue and fancy sellofane over! I know it was crazy to buy them in the first place. Won't make that mistake again

Morning all, a huge welcome to the newcomers to the class.
Pinky that is a little funny, I did have a little chuckle as that's the sort of thing I would do.

For the first time last night I had a dream about alcohol, hopefully it's a one off and gone now.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Welcome all. Day 8 over,9 in progress. Glad to be here. Craving off and on. Makes me a bit anxious. Grateful I can come here and read all your posts. I believe I'll try another 24. Warm wishes to all. Stay strong! Sobriety is so much better! 😁

We went to an apple orchard yesterday with the family. It was all fun until we went inside (which is usually apple tastings and apple bake goods) and found that they had wine and hard cider and.....tastings. They had several kinds that were being tasted. I had a mental argument about it. Conceivably I could have just had the tastings and not been able to get drunk but I just knew that I just couldn't because then I would crave it later on. I didn't want to have that harder battle at home. So, I didn't. And when we got home and I was extremely hungry I wanted food instead of alcohol.

I made another day with no alcohol.

Thank you Dee!

Day 21 guys! I'm pretty proud of myself! 3 weeks today! I'm still battling major depression. it's a struggle daily to get out of bed. I'm running on autopilot. I know this will pass, it does ever time.

As far as alcohol is concerned, I don't want to drink. I keep thinking about all the things I used to have to have a drink to do. Now I'm finding I enjoy them sober. Which is awesome!

Hello friends, sounds like everyone is enjoying their weekend, we celebrated my daughters birthday yesterday and while driving her and her boyfriend back to their place I decided I wanted to stop at a casino which I never do but I felt lucky(I wasn't) it was fine, they each had 2 beers and hubs had 1,I was too focused on picking the right keno numbers so drinking never even entered my mind,some would say it's kinda risky to go gambling in recovery but I wanted to spend time with my daughter and not just come home and watch lifetime like I usually do on Saturday night, I love it but needed a outing for a change, have a great day all

Feeling a bit better today than I did yesterday. Planning on doing some cleaning around the house, eating some real food for the first time in a few days, and then I teach a class tonight. Today is a good day.

Gifford

Good for you Oct. I think that we will all find challenges when we least expect them, you did well to avoid a tasting, I can't speak for you, but for me that would have resulted in me carrying on until, well who know'S what.
Day 21 over and sober. Easier today, but that is because I am exhausted after riding too fast this morning and then paying for that on the way back. Still I have a glow to my face and a warm feeling inside for having dealt with another weekend.

Have a great day tomorrow for those that are already at the end of the day, and a great day today for those who it is still today. (This makes sense to me anyway!)
