Hi rainyengland! I'm in Vancouver Canada, I should have used the screen name raincouver...we get way more than our fair share too! Lol ☔💧🌂☁ Great to see everyone on here. Today will be day 4 for me and I'm still feeling pretty rough. I've been writing down how I'm feeling in a journal... so the next time I think one drink would be okay I can see what a stupid idea that will turn out to be. In any case, happy to be here and thanks for you guys being here too! |
Not so rainy today - beautiful autumn day 😊 managed to enjoy some sun out on bike , it decided to throw me over bars into the undergrowth ..nothing to do with my lack of skill of course ..all bikes fault ! day 4 for me ..last nite wasn’t much fun as boredom set in and got fidgety ..think need to find a box set to binge watch 😊 |

Hi, all. I am from class October 2012 and heading to my 7th sober anniversary. I'd like to welcome everyone to Octsober class and SR overall. This was decision that totally changed my life, and I can't even imagine what my life would be like had I not found this place back in October 2012. The first step is scary and the entire journey full of uncertainty, but it's surely worth it and getting much better over the time. Good luck to you and welcome! :welcome I am also one :) Class Of October '14. Heading towards 5 years in a few weeks. So very glad you are all here.....off to read some posts. :grouphug: |

Day 58, bad day at work, the higher ups throw new people under the bus, unfriendly co-workers, and a husband I do not trust at all. Still not drinking, it will not help any of this. I think I’m the first few months we sober up to how our lives really are, it’s often shocking and drives many people back to drinking. Some lucky people stick it out and stay sober to improve the mess of their lives.... rant over. Yeah....I think this is really important stuff. Sometimes that does happen: I know it did for me. I was pretty shocked as well, different stuff....mostly around family and friends, but actually, my BF as well. I realised I was fooling myself big time about our future.....easy to do when I was in an alcoholic haze. Sorry to hear that your coworkers are still being awful....for some reason I thought that had improved. :( And it is really hard to be in a situation like that at home. I hope it gets better. Sending love and big hugs. :hug: s And love and hello to anyone I haven't met. ❤️❤️ |

Hello Suze. Yep its been a while. Have you picked up an American accent by now..? :) |
Not a chance love....not ever. :) I do however say sweater instead of jumper because I like it better, and I always thought jumper was annoying; it is only a jumper it is wool otherwise it is a windcheater and if you are in the UK it means pinafore, so :biggrin: Gosh I am happy to see you. :) xx |
welcome to everyone :) D |
Hello Everyone. Day 5 for me, happy to be here. |
glad to have you here Zura :) D |
Thank you Venus cat and congratulations on 5 years. Day 59, work was worse today than yesterday. I’m too exhausted to even enjoy my life out of work. I have to stick this out for now. Husband is working a lot, and I’m too tired to fight or discuss what I know just can’t be fixed. I have to take a long, sober look at my life and start fixing this mess. On the plus side, not drinking, too stressed to eat.... the numbers on the scale are very slowly going down. |
I hope you'll force yourself to eat a little mariposa...you wouldn't want to get run down and sick? D |
Well....I was planning on going for a walk today, but I'm still really tired, kind of a spaced out feeling, maybe I'll try again tomorrow. I did make it through the day sober though!! I'm getting a real sweet tooth, so I picked up some hot chocolate and sweet grapes to munch on. Pretty boring day actually....which is just fine, it's exactly what I want right now. Sweet dreams everybody, night... 🌛 |
Hello Zura. :wavey: |
Is it too late to join the class? it's my 1st day. Feeling fragile, reading lots of posts, trying to get some ideas as to how to kick the drink out of my life. |
