Life doesn't get challenging for me for another 10 days when I return to work. I felt I was unfairly treated this year and my drinking got a lot worse. I'm not looking forward to returning to the situation sober.
I'm sorry you have to go through that Mary. s ❤️
Hopefully it will work out better than you think it will....and I am betting that handling it sober is going to make you very proud of yourself. s ❤️

Tomorrow is her funeral well in 10 hours anyway..
I'm not drinking anyway so that's the main thing..

​​​​​​I've been very busy so haven't read properly everyone's messages..i will do so tomorrow..
God bless Nicole. s
May your beautiful friend rest in peace. ❤️

Day 3 was the worst for me. It put a smile on my face to see you posting and doing better today. So glad we are fighting this together.

I love #thepowerofus, too. Not too long ago, I would have found it repellent. Now that I am getting better, I see fellowship is the only way.

Pretty sick with flu today, headaches, nausea, I woke up this morning and it felt like I had drank a bottle of brandy last night! Brought back memories from my drinking past. Need to rest up for the next few days and let it run it's course...

RAL, and Reid. Get well soon.

The benefits of sobriety will gradually unfold for us all.

I was the same Pouncer. I haven't heard #thepowerofus, don't really know what it is, but liked the name.

I found that sort of stuff repellent too. But can now see the power in fellowship. People pulling together with common goal. Support, understanding, without being a woos .

I believe in a world of inclusion and cooperation between people, don't know why I recoiled at "fellowship" when it came to recovery. It's a nice word really. . It says and means a lot.

Morning Zura

We are fellows on a ship. Sail on.

Reid, I hope you get better soon. I think you’re right about the flu feeling like a hangover (or, vice versa).

Finishing up a productive day. I took my remaining dog for a play date and a short hike. She was very happy to get out. I have been working most of the day and I going to keep working until late tonight, since I am enjoying myself.

Quiet Saturday.

Good to be enjoying yourself Pouncer. Feels good just to be hanging around here, drinking tea. The cricket's on the radio.

It's been a long time for me, and I can see now how alcohol could make it even longer. Long lazy days are good. Long hungover days not good.

I used to be a slow learner.

Lifting my game.

Thank you. My hangovers always felt like the flu, especially towards the end. Even this morning, the way I was feeling was very similar after waking up after a binge; the sweats, nausea, headache and pains- scarily similar for sure! At least my conscience is clear and I know it's not self inflicted!
