Ya know what’s awesome? This is awesome: I’m completely overwhelmed and stressed out at work, depressed over the state of the world, sick of just about every person I can think of with the exception of my closest family, have completely lost interest in the things I used to love (i.e. sports!); I’m in a completely negative state of mind, and yet... I don’t have the urge to drink. I don’t want that nasty, thick-headed feeling of being drunk, and certainly not that terrible hangover that will follow. I need a clear head in order to work through this mental mess and find a way out the other side. It’s crazy; the old me would have just gotten even drunker tonight than usual, as if that would make things better.

Hi everyone, big hugs to those of you struggling. Please stay close on here, there’s so much love and support here ❤️
It’s 7.30am, I’m just starting my day 37 and the sun is shining and the birds are chirping, it’s going to be a really beautiful day 😊 I had a pretty tough day battling with the AV yesterday, I’m not sure exactly why but triggers seemed more powerful yesterday, maybe it was the sneaky AV trying to “reward” me for making 5 weeks, but I made it through the day thanks to the support of you guys 🙏😊 another 24 please. Have a beautiful day//night everyone 😘

Ate some dinner and don't feel like I want to imminently drink right now. But...I keep thinking in the back of my head "maybe next weekend". Ugh I just hope I can push past these feelings. Go away AV, go away!!!

As the wise say at SR- when you feel tempted to drink, have cravings..play the tape forward peoples. What will be the consequences the day after? What happened last time? Do I want a hangover, the crap involved with secretive hiding, the urge to drink even more to get rid of the hangover, the money lost, plus the shame, built, the effects on others???
Support to all.

I'm going to a meeting now, but after I'm done I think I'm gonna call it a day and go to bed early... I'm exhausted. My cuts are badly infected, red, swollen and painful.
Hopefully antibacterial wash helps, and I won't have to go to the doctor again... I'm just really embarrassed by all this and I don't want anyone to be looking at me.
Hope you have a great day.
24 more, pretty please.

I don’t have any family foundation or any unconditional love in my life, no safety net when it comes down to it. So I feel it really hard when things aren’t solid. I’m so tired of explaining the most basic things about being considerate and supportive. I’m so tired. My house is a mess and I’ve turned off all the lights and I’m curled up in my wreck of a bed and listening to the rain.
Think of us as your family; we care like one.

But I’m going to fill my day with things to do and stay distracted. Remember the urges pass, we just have to ride them out and they do go away 😊
