Welcome to the Marchers, Otter, Lowla and BC 🤗
Waking up on a sober Sunday and still feeling strong and positive, feel checking in with SR is really helping with the process, the support here is so great.
Part of me feels I have had any real challenges as I've not had any social events to endure, anyone else feel like this? Considering additional support if struggles feel more intense, but happy for now
Have a great day everyone ❤️

Hi all and welcome to the newcomers.
Been busy and quiet over the weekend. Also getting really worried about the coronavirus. I'm not a panicky person normally about things like this but it seems to be moving so quickly and stepping up a notch each day. I ask myself is it just because it is all over the media that it is worrying me more. I should switch off but like to keep utd. Now France and SPain are on lockdown I'm sure it's only a matter of weeks or even days before the UK go the same way.
Sorry for rambling on it's just on my mind.

Day 2 morning check in
Good morning all. Slept really well, up early for me on a Sunday. I have a project I need to work on today and hope to fit in a walk. No drinking for me today. I’ll be checking back in later.
Have a good day all.

Like you, checking in here daily is a great way to express your true self without judgement.

God I feel rubbish physically today. I took my lad for a chocolate milkshake and an hour on I feel like I've been run over by a truck. I realised its my first sugary drink for 17 days, I think I've got a sugar hangover! (I eat very little lure sugar and almost all of it used to come from alcoholics drinks).
Apart from that I still feel a bit anxious but I reckon that's to be expected given my domestic circumstances. I'm off to another city to live for the week tomorrow and it really does feel like my
life is falling apart.

Tossed any booze I had on hand today, posted on the forums and picked up a book about sobriety and opened to page 1. Hot bath, melatonin and hopefully good sleep tonight.

I believe the more support we get in recovery the better dear Billy and Bil. :hug s ❤️
Hello darling RAL.....I am like you.....I need to know what's going on. I have decided I am allowed th watch the news for half an hour twice a day but that's it. s xx ❤️
Spoke to my sister who is/was in NZ....all Aussies have been told to go home, now. So it sounds to me like Australia is about to close all borders. I think if we do this everywhere.....we will stop this virus. s xx

Hello fellow Marchers
Suze the PM has announced all international travellers arriving in Australia have to now be quarantined for 2 weeks. There are also restrictions on large gatherings, although schools remain open.
It’s Monday morning here and I’m feeling a bit anxious. I think it’s partially related to early sobriety, partially the ongoing depression/anxiety I’ve been struggling with for years (possibly largely alcohol related) and partly the uncertainty at the moment. The anxiety seems to have stepped up a notch, probably partly due to the current situation I’m sure. Remaining sober is crucial for me at the moment.
I’m on day 15 today and determined to stay sober.

Timing is everything. It looks like chose a great time to stop drinking. A lot of states are closing clubs and bars and liquor will be harder to come by because of people hoarding. I could only imagine myself had this been a few weeks ago and me panicking. Now it goes in one ear and out the other, I could care less. I see pictures of people lined up at liquor stores before they open and almost feel sorry for them. I would never judge anyone as that was me a very short while ago.

Day 2, PM checking.
I bought gummy bears at the store instead of wine....and I went for a walk today. Met my daughter's girldfriend's hamster, she's a sweetie.
Working from home for two weeks starting tomorrow....along with College Freshman, High School Senior and my hubby works nights and sleeps during the day....will certainly be interesting.
Looking at an AA meeting to go to on Thurs at noon if they are holding in person meetings.
Day 2 down.

Hi otters. Im at day 18 and the good news from my experience is that physically I feel so much better already. A lot of work to do mentally and emotionally but we both know that CANNOT improve with alcohol dumbing it down.
Im going to throw myself into work today...I've found it hard to concentrate but I've got a few things I really need to catch up on. And to move forward, this evening, I'm doing the first SMART video-lesson-thing
Have a good one people
