SUPPORT offered MISH. Grief is a subtle process- connected with all sorts of memories and emotions. Be mindful and remember to do the aware breathing thing and HALTS. Any feeling or thought is valid and to be accepted. All gief takes time to process.

One of the reasons I've stopped counting days is to avoid the "hey - I don't have a problem after all - a couple of pints with friends in a sunny beer garden you say - don't mind if I do"....

Good morning Marchers, it's about 7:30 here in New York. My wife and daughter are going away for 4 days. In the past that was a trigger, but my AV has been quiet on this so far. I think back to days I'd be getting home from work with no plans to drink and find out that I had the house to myself for a few hours, then out came the booze.....SAD
I hope everybody is enjoying the weekend. We are strong, we are sober

Sunshine, thank you so much for your post. Acceptance is so hard for me. And I am very confused by it all. And obsessed. I cant think about anything else. I am frozen in time, and just lovesick.
I. did drink Friday, and yesterday and will likely today. So its day -1 for me. But I will be back tomorrow.

Why not feed the other wolf today Lofty and put all your effort into not drinking?
The best day to quit is always today.
Pour out the poison. Hang out here, help someone else, go (or get a lift to) a meeting?

Day 10. I like being back in the double digits.
Work this morning/afternoon. Either an AA meeting or lazy television viewing tonight. Haven't decided yet. Either way, I'm not drinking.
I'm with Dee, LoftyIdeals. Hope you'll decide to make today a sober one from this point on. You're in my thoughts.
Wishing everyone a safe and sober Sunday!

I will stop today. I have a buddy in from out of town and we are golfing this afternoon. I was thinking I would drink while golfing but I dont think I will. He has to drive home tonight so he wont likely drink either. Plus I feel like crap from drinking yesterday. I just wish my head was screwed on right. Its not. Thanks for the thoughts and wise advice.

Hang in there Lofty. What can you do to get that head screwed on tight? Coming here before you drink is definitely one thing!
Day 29 for me! Today I'm going to swap out winter for summer clothes-- I think it's finally safe. I'll probably go buy a few little Easter goodies for our granddaughter today. And maybe grill dinner --woohoo!
I didn't mention my procrastinating taxes did I?
