Wow I just had a close call. I went to pick my son up from bball practice and on the way AV started in. "Just go buy some beer now so you won't have to drive all the way back later"... I fought it, but just barely. I'm glad I had coffee in a travel mug with me.
I feel like it could be a bit of a tricky day. I so badly want to get to day 5.

Thanks Eve. That's what I was doing in the car, both sides of the tape. Because as much as I don't want to deal with what I could do drunk I also very much want to wake up and have a good morning tomorrow. 
I just got a good hour and a half nap in. I think I'm on the downhill side of the cravings now.

I’m here. Just trying to get through day 1 again. Feel
pretty lousy. This is it though. I’m not going to drink away the end of this year. Going to get through this day and look forward to a sober 2019. I feel as unhealthy as ever. No more, said the woman for the 100th time.

I have nothing positive to say except I'm still sober I made I through the worse Christmas sobee. Now thinking of cancelling new year's Eve. Have a hotel room with open bar party DJs and drunk people. What should I do no refunds. I'm not worried about drinking I just don't want to be around dumb ass drunks since I'm not one anymore.

how much money will you lose? I’d rather call it a loss and cancel and spend the night at home

Hi.......I'm going to join you all here. I have a feeling the upcoming January class will be a busy one so Im jumping in here in Day 1. Ive not been here on SR for awhile other than to read posts once in awhile. I've been struggling for awhile and just so want this next year to be a year of recovery for me. I had an appointment with an addiction councilor today that I worked with briefly this summer and I like her a lot, so feeling hopeful about that. Ill also be joining a small group once a week (alcoholics only but not 12-step)
Feeling hopeful and glad to have taken some action today. I will be reading here and get to know you all a bit

Day 6 here I come. Joy I would cancel not risk it. Welcome Mariah and go citrus. A week ago tonight I drank a whole bottle of Bacardi it makes me sick to think I did that there was no off button. It’s been 5 days of anxiety depression and fear. I do not want to go through that ever ever ever again it’s crazy behaviour wishing you all a sober day

Citrus This is Kit, I posted a few days ago explaining I changed my user name, It was reminding me of the awful place I was mentally in 2017 with the name being Kit2017 so I changed it You must of missed the posts but yep I'm still here! Not going anywhere, this site is holding me together. Glad you got past your cravings and stayed strong 
Quit Stick with us! Stay close! You can do this!
Joy I would definitely cancel. You can't put a price on peace of mind and your own happiness and tranquility. Be somewhere or do something that makes you feel at ease.
Welcome Mariah
Day 35 for me... I went up to bed at 8:30pm last night.
Not sure what time I nodded off but my body and mind (crazy mind yesterday) must of needed a good rest, I woke once around 3ish and was back asleep soon after and only just got up at 6:30am.
I'm still in my pjs now (8:50am) sat with a coffee at the dining table. Me and my BF are meant to be visiting his family around lunchtime. I'm seeing how I feel, If I got how I was yesterday I'd have to swerve it but I'm hoping I'll be ok. Going to have a walk this morning to try and keep my head calm and clear.
I tried to get a very small loan yesterday and it was declined, that kind of triggered my meltdown I think, money is so tight now so we're having to really cut back until he starts a new job and gets paid or when I'm earning again which will be this next month. I can't wait, really looking forward to getting my teeth back into work and feeling busy again and earning again. Can't come soon enough!
My BF found another job going yesterday in a bar / restaurant locally so he is going in to see the boss there later today so fingers crossed! I'm lucky with my work as I work from home self employed and its all business development, sales, digital marketing etc... It's not my passion but it's what I know and how I can make a living for now... Off the subject and dreaming of the future I would love to run a small deli or something like that. Food and nutrition is my real passion so maybe one day ...
Not much else to report really, no plans apart from visiting bf's family if I feel up to it. Check in again later.
