Hi folks I too am a member of March 2016, and I am hoping to join this class as well?
I have been really struggling as of late.
Day one for me and feeling like crap physically and emotionally.
Dee - you were right about breaking out of our comfort zone but I am stubborn and need to fall face first into the pavement before I make the right decision. Thank you.
Looking forward to day one being over.

I'm such an dumb dumb when it comes to this.

I also got a chance to see something positive in what I consider my biggest problem - my loneliness. If I were in a relationship now with this monkey on my back it would be a dysfunctional relationship filled with arguing and drama. It would probably end in a horribly painful manner and I would have one more person to hate. So while it's hard to do everything alone and have no companion, being alone also gives me more space in a drama free environment. So, while I am trying to be optimistic and believe that one day I will find an appropriate partner, for now it's not so bad that I don't have one, while I get through these first months of sober living.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes and shares!

I know i need to address some of my own issues head on as coping with alcohol is not working. Sure, i forget my issues for a few days but it always makes things worse. I feel like absolute crap right now, and just need to feel better both physically and mentally and get my life on track. I want to be happy again.

I am with you on the humility pill as well. I'm my own worst enemy...

This is my 4th class and I first joined in January of this year, making it to 4.5 months of sobriety.
All I can say is this: Just for today I will not drink.
And I am okay with that.
Wishing you all a beautiful, sober day.
