Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome. Also, shout out to all the new people since yesterday!
Hang in There Professor D. I believe that it is ok to have to start over - the important thing is wanting to try again!

Yeah it kind of does Jimmy. That class will always mean a lot to me since it was the first time I really stayed on SR and achieved more than a meager two weeks of sobriety. Back then I was so enthused like holy s, I’m actually doing this. Some of that was probably from being in pink cloud mode. Now I don’t feel much of a struggle because I didn’t fall too hard back to the dark side and I know I can do this. It’s more about being committed and keeping my guard up. Sorry for the extended response!

I didn’t recognize you from the old class because your Avatar changed. Having you, JC, and the rest of the class around definitely makes me feel more accountable in a good way.
I also stole the think before you drink and post before you toast line from him, it clearly stuck with me.
JC-NY and JimmyJam and OOTT you are all rockers according to your avatars! So cool! so awesome our paths have crossed again, and look at OOTT setting the bar high! 17 days here! Feeling great today. Not gonna be a total cheerleader cuz this stuff is hard. Peaks and valleys re-programming my mind or should I say de-programming the brainwashing of thinking I have to drink.
I remember you rockin out too Sunshine . Somebody posted a link to a Nikki Sixx song in another thread that I think had some recovery related lyrics. I wanted to play it, but don’t remember the song. It wasn’t Life Is Beautiful which I’ve cranked plenty of times.
Getting ready for a pretty good snow storm tomorrow. Crazy how that’s a trigger, I WILL NOT DRINK.
Have a great night class!

Going to bed sober. There was a beer in the fridge and almost considered drinking it. I wasn't a beer drinker but it was that old habit of thinking I just needed to start the buzz. I didn't even want it. Shook it off and had a cold glass of milk with my steak dinner....far more enjoyable. Always need to be on guard. Good night all.

Drank again. 3 beers. Won't drink tomorrow, but already thought... I'll drink again Thursday and start over again on Friday. I'm self-destructing. I am struggling to find the motivation to start again. Feels like I need to say goodbye to drinking, have a bon voyage. Could any thought be more clearly AV? My mind is so messed up. I'm sorry febs. You are all doing so well. I crave the good feelings and fortitude I had a couple of weeks ago. Being here helps me, but I hope me being here is still OK.
