Change can have a big emotional impact Snuf.
My advice is try and get up today even if it's just to do some self care, put some stuff away, maybe even explore the new neighbourhood...etc etc.

I agree with Dee, any change can be disrupting. Even good changes.
Are you living alone now? Or still with the BF?
When I start into the negative thinking I have to do something to break that cycle. Shower and clean clothes is a start. Brushing hair, brushing teeth, getting off negative internet sites.
What's going on in Glasgow? Did you see that saoutchik is in Aberdeen? At least he was yesterday!

I’m still in Aberdeen with Mark and two very naughty cats, I’m moving to Glasgow by myself when I’m back from PL and Germany, sooo end of September. 
It’s not much of a ‘change’ as we moved like 10 minutes from where we used to live, but it’s much cheaper and Mark can afford living here when I’m gone.
Omg I didn’t know Sao was in Aberdeen, damn we could have grabbed a coffee.
You’re right guys, there’s so much stuff to do, I should move my butt and start unpacking these boxes, have a shower... or make food or something.

Yay! Yes, up you go...
Think of us while you're getting busy. I used to use this site as a mental exercise when I was struggling in early days. I would list (in my head) as many usernames as I could remember and I would think to myself, "Every one of them would tell me not to drink." You can think of every one of us cheering you on. It's pretty effective! I was able to remember many names, it's kind of powerful.
Hugs to you, my little lassie. .

It's overwhelming in a new place with so much to do....maybe just pick one small thing to work on and go from there....you can play with those cute little kitties!

I’m too sick to post... Yesterday I drank 10 beers and 2 bottles of prosecco - there really is no stop once I start...
Puked everywhere...
I called AA hotline this morning and someone will take me to a meeting tomorrow...
Why do I keep doing this...
I wish I was dead.

There were times when I felt like that as well, but sure as hell I’m glad that I am still alive
You have done well the past two weeks, and you just need to make it stick. If I am not mistaken, you managed to go sober for much longer in the past. My trouble when I first tried to get sober was that I thought it would be impossible. Now I know better and the same applies to you.
Please go to the meeting tomorrow. Stay strong and don’t drink today. Don’t buy any and if there is anything left, please get rid of now (down the sink).
Just as importantly, please keep reaching out to us today and tomorrow. It seems that staying close to SR helps me not to lose the will and desire to remain sober.
PS: You have just proven that you are not too sick to post

Hi snufkin. I’m new to sobriety so don’t take my word as an expert
A lot of us on here tried to give up over and over and over again. Even those with lids ofnyears sober
You can do this. Don’t give up.
Never ever ever ever ever give up. I see what others have done and I believe you can do this
