Hey Strawberry, Why don’t you at least stay on SR (don’t close your account) and that’s one stab against your AV. I closed my acct a few years back, probably for different reasons. But here I am again. And feeling really good about a sober life.
You will get there. Sobriety has to be more important to you than the Drink. Are you reading any books on addiction? There’s some great stuff out there and they are even listed up top in the forum. I’m cheering you on here. We all know the pull of alcohol, but it always bites and stings ya in the end.

I doubt very much anyone is bored frustrated or annoyed with you. We all get it
It often helps to add some more things to what you've been doing for you r recovery - do you have any ideas?

Day 1
I know today will be awful. I know tonight I will sweat, have insomnia, shake and feel anxious.
I know I’ll feel ashamed as I walk my dog today realising I have so much ahead of me. How stupid and weak I’ve been. And how worthless I currently feel.
But I also know that it can and does get better if you work at it every day to build the life that you dream of. I had a short spell of sobriety a while back and I was learning to love life again and almost like myself a little bit too. So I need to get back there.
April 8th 2002 I gave up cigaretttes forever.
April 8th 2018 I gave up booze forever.
I used to finish my posts saying “I will not drink today”. I’m not writing that again.
I will not drink ever again.

Day 1 here, too. And I so want it to be my last ever day 1.
I, too, believe that working for sobriety is the key, actions, not wishful thinking or counting the days will take me there. Evenings are the worst for me (I know I'm not alone with this!), so I need to find something to do after 5 pm. Today is easy - I'm so knackered I'll probably just go to bed with a book early...

Day 27 for me! Really surprised I've got this far this time but I'm really happy and positive about sobriety this time around
I'm finding that I'm getting into a routine re- sleep. Once 10pm hits, I'm looking to get wrapped up for the evening. When I was drinking- absolutely no chance of that! At 10pm, I was probably contemplating getting more alcohol in before the store closed!
Anyways, hope everyone has a good sober day:-)

Good on you, Zombie! Finding that sleep routine is one of my primary aims. During my previous attempts at getting sober, I usually found my "sleep button" at the end of my 8th day or so, but it takes very little to lose it. If anybody has any tips on how to get through the angry fatigue after a really difficult day at work, I'm all ears! (I have a stressful, demanding job - can't change it unfortunately, it's not as if I could just walk into another one.)

Thanks Lacemaker :-)
My sleep has been a bit mad since I was a kid. But I've noticed I'm no longer trying to stay up later, even at the weekend when I'm not in work. It's good though even just to feel naturally tired instead of just blacking out!
My drinking was always post work. In the past few weeks, if I've felt that urge then I've gone and got myself something quick to eat and gone for a walk.last week a family issue really had me pissed off and it did continue for a few days. I just wrote stuff down, went out for a walk, ate, anything but drink. Drinking would have made it 10times worse!

Day 7 today! And woke feeling a little down, this suprised me as I was feeling so positive yesterday! Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep great, or maybe it because I know it’s a hard road ahead! Either way I need to try get that positivity back! I hope you all have a great Sunday and stay strong! “Just when the caterpillar thought its life was over, it became a beautiful butterfly” x
