Officially one month of sobriety for me. On my lunch break today I got my letter of approval from DOT to have an ignition interlock device installed on my vehicle. The application fee was $105. Tomorrow I'm gonna call and see when I can get that installed and how much it will be. Also I had my assessment ($50) at the counseling place where I need to take classes for alcohol. Only have to take 26 classes instead of 52 but still at $20 each not gonna be cheap, lol. Glad I'm saving so much money by not drinking because I'm gonna need it!!! Good day all things considered.

Hewson, I hope you are able to make the most out of your classes. I start my treatment program tomorrow. I'm very nervous but positive that I have made the right choice signing up for it. GOOD LUCK!
Today I randomly came across my first post on SR and it frightened me a little but also gave me hope. I had the same positive attitude and confidence that I have right now. It was 3 years ago almost to the day. I know that it was the beginning of a year of sobriety so that is reassuring but I know i need to keep working to make sure I don't repeat the same mistakes I made last time.
I found a quote that is fitting for those of us who are reaching out for help. I don't know who it's by but I like it.
"Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it"

Had some bad bloating yesterday that also caused upper abdomen discomfort due to sitting all day (Office job). First time since I quit three weeks ago. I use to get this often when I drank. Not exactly sure what the cause is but suspect I'm constipated.....

Have you got other things in your plan besides cleaning and organising the house ?

I will be getting a couple of puzzles to work and will also be learning how to cook. Now that I'm in my 30's it's about time to learn! And I'm also trying to avoid stress and trigger situations at all cost for now. I check in here semi-regularly as it has been mostly helpful.

Hi all, hope you're all well.
Had a knock back today with the job in the states I thought I might get. Oh well, I'm disappointed but it's just another of life's steps I guess. I'm also disappointed that my new bicycle I ordered was meant to arrive tomorrow but it now won't arrive until Thursday. I know it sounds silly and maybe selfish as niether of these are really significant in the grand scheme of things but the news of both put me in a really low mood, maybe sometimes the small things can effect us more. I'll be happier after some tea and a sleep. Stay safe guys!

I went to my program today! I actually can't believe I went and didnt come up with an excuse not to go. It was weird sitting in the room as a "student" as apposed to the teacher but I can already tell it is going to be helpful. As I was driving there I thought about all the reasons why I needed to go so I couldn't start talking myself out of it. Very successful day today!
