Re: Class of March 2020 Part 4
Morning all. Just been for a very leisurely walk in the morning sunshine...ran yesterday and don't want to over do it!
It would be great if everyone checked back in today with an update, after the disruption last couple of days. I'm on day 58 but genuinely am counting them slightly less hard this week...
Whats everyone doing today to support and promote being sober?

Good morning, I am up before the sun and getting ready to enjoy my 8th weekend in a row sober. Oh,and also the Monday thru Friday’s in between, lol. I have noticed that I am remembering a lot of things from the past that were secluded by my drinking. Some memories are good, some are not so good but that is life.

Congrats on 41 days Tink. That's three weeks plus....three weeks almost! Because three weeks was your 'limit' I always think of your days in relation to that...
What days are you on willow and Bilr? Glad that we all seem to be here with no ill effects from the forum's wobble

Yes, congrats Tink, that is great. BE, later next week I will be at two whole months. That is hard to wrap my hands around because I remover vividly it was to stop for just one day. Actually I’d didn’t even think about stopping for the longest time.

Good morning, it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day today, lots of sun. Save all the gray days when I have to work, lol. Still doing well here. I was doing some mental exercises yesterday remembering how stressed I was while hiding my problem. I try to do this remembrance thing once in a while, just to ensure myself I don’t want to go back there. Living guilt free definitely feels better.

Let me have a self righteous whinge....
Listening to radio all day today with kids. There is an advert that starts: 'Fact - you deserve to treat yourself sometimes'. Then goes on to tell you all about this wine.
I didn't drink because of advertising and don't feel at all triggered. But that's just pathetically irresponsible....I'm beginning to think to how I turn my alcohol addiction and mental health troubles to my children's' benefit, try to help them. I don't know how tbh, my example has been terrible and telling doesn't work imho....but pointing out the absurdity of adverts like that is a start!

I think we notice the adverts more now because we stopped drinking. There is no doubt there are more now because they are playing on peoples emotions during this lockdown. I stopped going on Facebook because every time I go on there are adverts for home liquor delivery.
