10: 06 am and checking in for another 24. I am still not feeling well, so I am home today. I actually took a sick day. Rather than trying to work from home. My head feels like it weighs 1000 pounds, maybe it is my brain power growing.
Hope everyone is having a good start to the week, I can't believe Christmas is a week from today.

Spent a few hours today working on a self-development thing I'm doing. You have to write about all the difficult memories from your life as a way to process them. It's good. But today I got to the part where I wrote mainly about all the bad stuff I got up to when I was really boozing hard.
It was all stuff I knew, but to actually write it down and then re-read it - phew......
Hard to write and hard to read, but a very useful exercise. It's amazing how blind I was for years, despite how INSANE my behaviour had become.
Feel sad for all the years I wasted, and all that stupid stuff I did. What I mainly see is a deeply unhappy, lost and lonely guy. Not beating myself up, though, I have compassion for him. We should all have compassion for ourselves, as well as for each other.
So yeah, today was pretty sobering (if you'll pardon the pun!)
Thanks for indulging the longer than usual check-in
Sending super-charged love to you all
Over and out.

Jack, I empathize with what your saying. They talk about making amends in the BB. Sometimes I think the biggest amend to make is to ourselves.

Today was the first time the AV has showed up, since last binge. Day five to 9 are really critical times for me to remain vigilant. I have made it thru most of this day. Almost time to turn in soon. Its been tricky, to say the least!

I’d love another 24 hours please..
I’m making a big effort to stay vigilant in the next week. Lots of occasions coming up. My youngest Son turns 16 tomorrow and it’s my 40th birthday on Boxing Day. I’ve already refused a party much to everyone’s disgust but right now I couldn’t think of anything worse!!
Anyway we all have Xmas to get through too so I’m grateful for SR.. we know there’s always going to be someone online at some point if we are struggling..
Anyway I hope everyone has a lovely day/night
6.45am Perth x
