Day 11 here. having a “low key” day doing stuff around the house. As of tonight I will have made it through my days off without drinking which is the biggest struggle for me. Going to have an afternoon nap and back to work tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoys a sober weekend

Hello Folks,

missed a day and found myself missing all of you!

READYATLAST and FINALROUND:
I wanted to tell you how much your posting has helped me as I have been very close to having a drink. I so appreciate your open sharing and honesty. I have the same thoughts of “wouldn’t it be nice to have a glass of wine” or “I can handle one glass”, yet I have that gnawing feeling that I know I can’t. I also hear your words in my AA meeting, from newcomers, old timers and relapsers, which I’m trying to use in my awareness. With all that said, I am just like anyone else on SR and taking it one day at a time.

Happy Saturday! I'm in mountains this weekend and it's COLD. No liquor here so I won't be tempted to take a few chugs after everyone is asleep.
Best to all of us Marchers!

I was thinking about this today, I will be cognizant (sp?) of this. I have alot on my plate but taking time to just hang out with him is a treat. I wish he could stay a baby for longer!

Feeling pretty anxious tonight, was given and extra day off so have a 3 day weekend ahead. I’ve been going quite a bit this week and thinking of all the things that need done around here at home, but going to pace myself and take some down time and not feel like I have to get it all done....famous for that.
Tension reliever tea and took my anxiety meds
Anyway, I hope everyone is making the best of their weekend and finding some joy. Goodnight

Invited our group of friends over tonight. Cooked up a corn beef and made toasted reubens. We had a great time and everyone filled their bellies. I let them know that I no longer drink. Permanently. Not a break or to lose weight like I said before. I had 3 months sober and I had given drinking another try for a week and I prefer not drinking. They were all very supportive. Everyone left at a reasonable hour and even those that drank did not overdo it. Just a casual evening with friends, food and laughter.

Now I get to climb into bed, read my book and get a good nights sleep. Going to be a beUtiful day tomorrow and I plan on taking advantage of all of it.

Goodnight Marchers.

Day 12

Slept poorly last night and had a good but very tiring afternoon.

Mood has been relatively poor since I came home after that.

But I am indeed sober for another night.

Hang in there kinzoku!
Good job on telling your friends that you have completely stopped drinking, Finalround. Most of my friends and all of my family know since I was in the hospital for several days with seizures, etc. before going into rehab. Hence, my slowly starting back with the sneaky drinking.
Glad I joined this group after lurking here for several years.
Sleep well everyone.

For those new to SR we usually close threads at around 500 posts to stop things getting too awkward.

We'll open a new part 2 for this thread immediately tho
