Class of July 2019 Part 1
Hello from poolside. (just ice water in my cup)
Erratic I am glad that your scan is looking positive. I am sure that was a scary thing to do. I hope your GP has positive news as well.
Hi Sunbelle, BlueWellies and anyone else who just joined us. I think this is going to be a great class!
I had a thought a few minutes ago of buying beer on the way home. But I will drive straight home and make myself a yummy non-alcoholic drink. Feeling happy and strong at the moment.

Good morning Wednesday.
Feeling more positive by then I’ve always been more of a morning person. Got attacked by a mosquito in my sleep last night including one on my face. This physical blight has taken over in my present concern league which should push alcohol out of my mind temporarily at least.
Wednesday is my non-gym day and I usually go for a walk before work but it rainy season here so who knows.
All in all feeling better than yesterday.

Welcome to our new members!
I'm going out to dinner with a friend. We don't drink together, and I couldn't be more excited. It's a hot and sunny evening and I'm hoping to take a walk around a lake to cool off.
Had insomnia last night, and ended up buying one of Russell Brand's book on audio. I usually use podcasts and audiobooks when I can't sleep. I hope to use meditation sometime soon, but one goal at a a time.
Let's keep going- one day at a time. Baby steps!

Day 3! Still alive! I had dinner with one of my daughters last night, great time. No desire to drink, past is still haunting me though. All the time waisted. I made a little card to carry in my pocket yesterday with the 5 most important things in my life on one side and 5 code words to remind me of 5 of the worst times/issues on the other(code in case someone sees it!) still dwelling on the bad side. I’m going to do this.

Good morning all. It is so wonderful to wake clear headed. I woke and was enjoying some quiet time while everyone else in the house slept. My poor husband that had 2 or 3 beers last night drug himself out of bed. Even a couple of beers cause that! Why would we want to do that to ourselves. So not worth maybe half an hour of a buzz. Yuck. I am staying sober today.
Hello all, today is day one for me. Like others in this group, I have tried many times before to remain sober but have ultimately failed. The last period of sobriety for me lasted 84 days. I was SOOO upset when I started drinking again as it once again started the loop of craving and satisfying the craving with alcohol. What is different for me this time is I am working on changing the way I actually view alcohol....seeing it as a toxin that is poisoning my body and brain instead of some kind of panacea. I'm so tired of going through the insane cycle of remorsefulness and shame in the morning and drunkenness at night.
I'm glad to be a part of this group.
