Ah sorry to hear that Tink. At least today is over. Do you find you feel the same every day or do you go up and down? I know I do, massively.
Im winding down, bed quite early I guess. I feel a bit anxious but it's improved most of the time last two days

Also hoping tomorrow is a much better day for you. xx

I've reached 30 days today. Not much going on, just staying home and taking it one day at a time. Got outside Saturday for a 3 mile hike. Also acknowledging that I should post more, but often I just don't have anything to post about....life is a bit boring with all the stay home stuff going on. Happy to be sober and working through each day as I am able.

Well done Otter, 30 days is great going.
Ive woken up early. Yesterday I painted a room and my daughter picked up a photo album I'd moved. Looking at it with her was moving. But most astonishing was me recognising when things 'started going wrong'.
I'd say I started losing the thread about 2009-2011. I'd been a heavy drinker before that, but depression, aggression and unpredictability at home, not remembering stuff - that seemed to really kick in at that time. I also struggle to remember large swathes of time since then. I mentioned this is passing to my wife who corrected me and remembers my first deep 'low' was in 2004.
Every day I'm discovering more. This morning I'm completely understanding of why my wife's had enough...at least 16 years of caring for a depressed, drunk, selfish, aggressive and ungrateful man. She's a saint. I'm not beating myself over that, just sitting here letting it be.
This recovery is not about drinking, it's about a whole life change. The most important part of which is not drinking to allow the change to happen.

I get welfare today. I'm not going to collect it for a few days because my AV will go nuts if I have money and I don't really need it yet.
Have a psychiatrist phone appt Thursday. Going to ask about antabuse and naltrexone. Think one of them could be helpful
