Yes it's amazing what we can get through and come out the other side and be ok. my biggest regret is when my sons dad left was that i drank which made it really unbearable, so much harder and then because i continued to try and cope by drinking that messed up new opportunities i had.

Night all/morning Willow

I didn't once think of drinking today. I've got thru it. Life continues. Tomorrow may well be a good day

I wasn't worried about you drinking dear Be.....just trying to help you to see that whatever horrendous pain life throws at us, or we throw at us, we can and do get through. And it makes us better. Stronger and more compassionate. Wiser and more empathetic. Life's pain makes people into amazing humans. s xx ❤️

Nite love xx

Be, sending you a big virtual hug
I hope you get a good sleep and I hope tomorrow is a better day. Good night.

I’m just having a coffee and getting organised for my day.
I’ll check back in a little later x

Wide awake at 3.30am. I've come downstairs at this time watching crap on tv. I feel a bit like my progress is unravelling, all over the place last couple of days. I guess I'll just stay sober and come out the other side, but it feels like a bumpy ride presently

I think early sobriety can be a real roller coaster Be.
Hang in there, it can’t stay down forever, it has to go up again sooner or later.

Morning all. Terrible night being awake and feeling very anxious. Still feeling that way now so going to post them head out for a walk.

Objectively doing well. 50 days sober and I've also lost 20 pounds since January. Been as good as I can be to my wife and kids since I became sober. But I feel terrible. It's not going to detail me, I know it'll pass, but it's not very pleasant

Have a good day people, Willow I keep thinking about your cat, I hope you are ok?

Hi Be i hope your walk clears your head and you free a little better, you are in a very difficult situation but you are coping with it so well. And 50 days is brilliant as is 20 pounds weight loss. I'm trying to lose weight but the loss is very slow.

Morning everyone else hope you are all well and have a good friday.

Be, 50 days is fantastic!
I’m ok, thanks for asking. Still really sad and shocked at losing our dear little cat, but just trying not to dwell too much on the sadness. Managed to stay sober which is really important. I hope you’re feeling better soon. Hopefully as Tink said a walk might help

Hope my former class mates are keeping well.

I've joined the April class unfortunately, if anyone was wondering why I'm not around.

Hi FF. I did notice that. You had a relapse or just that little bit of vodka? (Maybe they're the same thing but they seem a bit different to me)

I had 800ml of vodka on Wednesday, a few cans yesterday and 200ml of vodka today. So yes, a relapse unfortunately. But not as bad as my usual relapse, so that's something.

Not too bad. I didn't relapse as hard as I normally do so I don't have horrible hangover anxiety

Just annoyed to have thrown away 34 days. But come May 20th I'll be back where I was.

Im not sure sober days are wasted, but I have relapsed hundreds of times and I know I have frustrating it is. I hope appt with nurse goes ok. When we're all two years sober a few days here or there won't make any odds
