welcome aboard Plenny
Neoo the difference is the lows will lift now - everyone has bad days - but that's better than the bad months or years we used to have.
give it a little time
GBE I know it's a far from idea situation but I hope you get something from it anyway
I'm really glad you found a way through the momentary discomfort SFL

9:13am. Day 11. Knowing there is alcohol in the house got to me a bit yesterday. I did not want to drink it, but I wanted to pour myself a stash in case I wanted it at later date. I physically made the walk to get it a few times and then argued my AV away. I don't need it.

The end is in sight exam-wise I feel. Well, still 5 more to go but getting there. We have planned a trip down to London on the 29th for a couple of nights as a treat. Going to do the whole tourist bit. If I go missing you will probably find me on the lap of the Tom Hardy model at Madame Tussauds!
Neoo I've been thinking about you since you posted last night. It struck me perhaps that you've had the court thing to focus on and in a way blame for your anxiety for such a long time. Now that it's over (thank God!) it might actually be a bit tougher to deal with your symptoms. Hey I'm no expert but I am a big fan of self-care and being kind to yourself. Perhaps the old ladies could do with a thrill? Take care sweetheart
Anyhoo…………. feeling a bit rough still but I'm quite happy and plodding on. Gonna blast those germs at aquafit tonight with my old ladies!
Lots of love to all. 24 please!!!!!!!!!

Glad you argued with your AV but I also wish you didn't have that temptation lying around. Wishing you a strong day ahead...check in if you need to, if you are having an urge and we'll help you through it.

It's amazing to me that at 13 months sober it is so simple for me to just commit to abstaining from alcohol but I can't string together more than 3 days without binge eating. How I pine to get to the place where I can easily offer my 24 hours of abstinence from the hell that is food addiction. God help me, I can't do this on my own.

Thats the spirit YC, I'm sure there'll come a time when you won't even think about it, but for now, protect yourself.
Weev in for 24 more at 2:24pm covered in dirt and smelly, am cleaning and fixing and gardening. I didn't know where to start actually and then nothing gets done. My sponsor said tackle a square meter at a time and thats what I'm doing.
It's funny how I never noticed the cracked panes of glass before. I counted 14 today. Quite a few at the front look like bullet holes. For all I know they are. How did living like that ever become normal?
Love and prayers to the suffering.

. It’s best to just relax about it. I always get caught up at some point. I’ve been drinking coffee after lunch lately and that sure isn’t helping! Also I have blackout curtains that are still in a box in the closet from when I moved in in 2017..haha. Hmmm...a game? I will trick my brain game! No, it’s not 8:30 pm and sunny and 95–it’s cooool and dark and there’s a chance of flurries. 
Love and hugs—Hang in there my friend. It’s tough but we’ll beat this. And sweet dreams tonight!

24 More is the Plan of the Day!
YCDT2....... Alcohol is not a precious commodity. Pour it down the sink and be RID OF IT!!!!
Let your hubby know first if you think you need to but just let him know that the temptation is too great right now.
I poured my booze out in the sink in my early days because it was too tempting, it was calling my name! Now, I could care less if a guest is drinking a beer, doesn’t bother me in the least. That only happens rarely like if we have a fish fry but I am over that urge for the most part.
Down the DRAIN!
Be STRONG!

Sounds like a good plan love.....it's important to have that conversation, if you can.....I lived in a small apartment building in Melbourne (Australia) with an open communal balcony, and I drank with my friends/neighbours for years. I had to tell them....honestly.....they didn't believe I had a big problem either....but afterward, I had a close friend next door who watched out for me, so it was a win-win. ♥♥
