Had a great sleep last night, which eludes me most days. I had so many vivid dreams. They all focused on my younger days. I think I have a lot of resentments I never dealt with. I only think of this stuff when I am really drunk or asleep apparently. Sober, I don't care about it. Weird.

Welcome all the other new folks! Hope everyone had a good weekend and stayed strong.
What's on the agenda for y'all this week? I'm trying to take a look at my calendar and spot where the triggers will be...going to try to do that every Sunday to make sure the week goes how I want it to go, not how my AV wants it to go

Hey June Class! I was thinking of joining.....this is another day one for me, but at the rate I'm going I should be in every class....I stopped keeping track of days 'cause I figured "why bother" but that's a pretty crappy attitude to have, so I thought maybe I'd get an adjustment. I seem to be okay staying sober throughout the week, then I'll drink weekends, returning with my tail between my legs each time.
Hoping to do something different to stop this ugly cycle! Glad to be here with you all

Hello,
Day 5 here on my first serious go at sobriety. I was in denial about my relationship with alcohol until it landed me in the ER 2 months ago. Still in denial, I told everyone I’d just cut back. Of course I couldn’t.
Through divine intervention/epiphany/whatever you want to call it, I suddenly saw sobriety as not a punishment, but a sign of strength. It’s given me a new resolve. My anxiety level is through the roof but I’m staying strong. I already feel better physically.
Looking forward to being part of a supportive community. Thanks for having me.

Welcome one and all! End of day 15 for me. No cravings whatsoever, maybe a nagging thought with AV asking me a question now and then as to why I can't take one drink. He is much clever than that and my answer is a resounding No, for this day. I like the camel song for sobriety:
The camel each day goes twice to his knees
He picks up his load with the greatest of ease
He walks through the day with his head held high
and stays for that day completely dry.
Good night folks

My triggers come on the weekend. I have a busy week and alot going on in the evenings, so that will help with any urges as I really won't have an option to drink. Already looking ahead to next weekend to have a plan in place. Have a great week!

Good day to all! Welcome Purps and Justone! Glad you’re here. Day 9 for me. Made it through the weekend with some solid rerouting of patterns. Grateful for this day, grateful for 9... longest I’ve had in a long time. Busy week ahead but I’m living in just today. Off to work... grateful for that also. Hoping for the AV to be silent today, but ready if the chirping begins! Prayers for all my fellow Juner peeps... for resolve and rest in just today. Reach out if it goes cray cray!!

Prof- good idea to plan ahead for the week. As a stay at home mom, my days tend to look like the movie groundhogs day.
But I did have therapy today, dance lessons for my girls, grooming apt for my dog... Saturday is a neighborhood community day and graduation party.
Biggest triggers will be Wednesday and Thursday when hubby works, and grad party Saturday.
Day 8 feeling prettty good.
Welcome all newcomers and hi lipstuck.

Hello Lorij, Welcome! Day 2 is great. Hope you can post daily here and seek support when you need it.
Folks, I just declined a happy hour this Thursday evening. I know if I go there I will have my usual 2 pints. Let's stay strong!
