Class of March 2020 Part 3
I just signed up for an online yoga class that starts in half an hour to distract me from the AV and the vintage wine in my partner’s wine rack. I really don’t feel like doing online yoga right now, but you’re right about being idle Freedom. Especially being really sad and idle. The AV is screaming. Hopefully an hour of yoga will quieten it down...

Well I made it through yesterday despite my AV. Day 34 now. Just back from a run. Part of living a balanced life - SMART Topic 4.
I think a big problem with me is my days are so empty and drinking seems like an easy way to fill time. Going to try and do a lot of activities today and keep busy. The devil makes work for idle thumbs.

Truth is this lockdown is beginning to wear a bit thin on me too. Lots of time and not enough to do: but at least I can work hard on myself and sobriety.

Hi freedom good on realising you dont want them, get rid of them, and stay sober and that will be money well spent on reinforcing you want to be sober and a reminder not to buy anymore.
Hope your ok willow been thinking about you hope you get some rest.
Hi Be, Bil, Venus hope your all ok

Thanks Tink I’m ok,sad but still sober, in bed now.
I agree Freedom, it’s good you realised you don’t want the vodka, now get rid of it as soon as you can, whether you give it to your Mum or get rid of it another way, you don’t want it near you.
Good night everyone, thanks for the support today.
I made it through day 45 by the skin of my teeth.
I will be glad to wake up sober tomorrow x

Just waking up here. Freedom, the money you lost will be nothing compared to having to go through withdrawals again. You have come so far, just dump the liquor. You will be very happy you did.
Good night Willow, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you.

Shifted 1.5 tonnes of sand from front drive to back of garden. Also broke my best kitchen knife cutting a frozen bit of garlic bread, which cut my finger.
Went for two walks. One was to check on my parents.
A day in the life of a sober person on lockdown!
I hope you slept well willow and the grieving process does not throw you off course.
I hope you're alright Freedom.
Tink, Bilr, have a nice evening

Thanks Be. Not done much today (not that can do much anyday atm ha ha), went for walk, sat in garden and read, now have sunburnt arms !! I've got hooked on prison break while in lockdown so watching couple episodes then off to bed. I'm actually enjoying this simple life.
Hope everyone is ok.

My kids are grown and both live in Florida. My daughter works and my son is a senior in college. He is also working so staying there for now. He might be headed this way after classes are done. If not I’d like to make a road trip to a Florida, pandemic permitting. It is too long a drive (20 hours) so hopefully things ease up this summer. I haven’t told them I quit drinking.

Yeah, I didn’t view it as selfish either. I was just making conversation about my kids. Pandemic or not, I don’t see them as much as I’d like. Some people look forward to the day their kids move out. I could have them live with me forever, lol.
Good morning everyone
Be, I don’t think it’s selfish to enjoy lockdown. I’m enjoying it too. I prefer staying home. And like Tink, I’m enjoying a simpler life
I’m on day 46 today. Made it through 2 days of a screaming AV, hopefully today’s a better day.
Bil I’ll bet your kids will be very proud of you
Freedom, how’re you going? What did you do with the vodka?

Morning willow, glad you got through last couple of days. Keep your guard up, but also enjoy the times the AV is absent (I find that really helpful, to acknowledge that most of the time the AV isn't noisy. It makes the times that it is seem more short term).
I hope you're ok Freedom. I'm concerned you drank those vodkas (what is a 'noggin' btw?)
Im going to carry on shifting sand today, then having a 'beach' day with kids in back garden (due to the abundance of sand, obviously!). Have a good one everyone
7 weeks today for me
