Hi everyone, so nice to meet all my new classmates! Almost 8.30pm here in Scotland. I had a great day at work (it's amazing how much you can actually achieve when you're not hungover!) then met with my sister, daughter and my beautiful wee grandson for coffee. Tired tonight but in a good way. Tomorrow starts my second week and I am excited for that. Hope you all have a good day/evening/night wherever you are.
ps thanks for that app tip PC, and doodles, it was drinking too much on my birthday making me so ill that brought me here in the first place! Hope you have a great sober birthday when it comes.

Hi everyone! ☺️
Been sober for 10days now! First week was terrible, really struggled and felt so ill but over the last couple of days I've felt great! Alot more energy and enthusiasm to be productive. SR has been my rock lately, looking forward to joining August's class and meeting everyone!
Im also from Scotland! 🙋x

Just popping onto this thread to say Hello and welcome to all the newbies. I am a Julyer (2017) but I will keep checking in now and again as I love to hear people's stories and will offer support where I can because I know I need it at times X

Thanks Susie.
Ready at last - the ride was great - and I'm now properly tired which I hope will help with sleep - have spent the last few days lethargically hanging around, which means I'm not tired at bedtime.
Wow - that's a lot of Scots in tonight - this thread is jumping.
Now to work on that sleep plan

Hi everyone *waves*
I'm approaching the end of day 5. I was bingeing rather than daily drinking so days 1-3 werent too bad as I often go 2-3 days without a drink. Days 4 and 5 have been hellish. I want a drink so badly. I have eaten a LOT of crap today to try and silence AV.
I have also had some stresses at work which have been giving me a 'reason' to drink. Both me and my husband have a day off tomorrow and normally I would use that as a reason to get wasted tonight as I can sleep in and he could help with the little one. Instead I am focussing on getting up clearheaded and spending the day productively. I am in bed (its 10.15pm here in the UK) have put fresh sheets on and had a hot shower so i feel clean and fresh.

You guys are getting to bed and I just got home from work!
I think the one thing I will always miss is the beer or glass of wine after a long day at work. If only they didn't turn into eight beers or a bottle of wine. Sigh.
Oh well. I am enjoying my sparking watermelon-lime water and an absolutely beautiful Michigan summer evening.

I just got off work too, and now I'm enjoying my sparkling lemon/lime water. I, too, will miss the beer and wine after work. If only I could stop at one. Hubby is outside drinking right now. That's one of my problems, but I have to get over that. As long as he keeps it away from me for the first few weeks, I'll be fine.
The work day seemed to never end today. Everything was in slow motion. I hate that. Fog is lifting, so that's good, but I'm just so tired... early to bed for me I'm afraid. Hopefully, I'll sleep.
Hope everyone has a great night. See ya tomorrow!
