Jewel I think that’s why I found it really hard to not drink AFTER I had managed to not drink on the weekend when I was surrounded by drinkers. Like Dee said, sometimes it’s harder after we stay strong through a challenging situation

D, You’re right. I need to rat on myself to keep out of trouble. It’s the right thing to do, but that dumb voice is so convincing sometimes.

Even now, I sit here feeling awful and I’m determined to stop this madness once and for all, but the AV will continue to argue for “one more night.” I’m done feeding the addiction. Today might be difficult, but I’ve got to say no to alcohol once and for all with absolutely no turning back...ever.

thanks for all the support. I am humbled by this addiction and so thankful for a place like this where you all get it.

keep moving forward. It isn’t worth it AT ALL to take a drink.

freedom, I am so proud of you! You are doing great with sobriety and with opening up at
your meetings. Keep at it...I’m inspired!

Congrats Willow! 2 weeks is awesome.
I have been thinking about you FreedomFries. I hope you are feeling much better.
Jewel I am sorry you had a relapse. Even after a month that damn av hits me when I don't expect it. I just had a Dr. appointment and everything is doing so much better. The first thing my mind went to was "have a drink to celebrate!" Ugh, no, no, no, and no.

Good morning to everyone

Just back from my morning AA meeting. I shared again. It's getting easier to share the more I do it.

It was a big book meeting and the chapter was We Agnostics. I find lately I'm becoming more open minded about the possibility of a higher power so it was a good chapter for me to be reading. Looking forward to tomorrow's meeting.

I have an appointment for a scale and polish tomorrow. After the appointment I'm going to really commit to looking after my teeth. One of the things I'm going to do is giving up smoking and vaping. So I'm enjoying my last day of vaping right now. 10am tomorrow, I'll be going cold turkey off nicotine. Wish me luck.

Good luck FF! I kicked that one a few years ago. Actually don't know when the last time was. Make sure it doesn't put your sobriety to alcohol in jeopardy.

Good morning on day 15.

​​​​​​My local face to face meeting is back up and running. Will be heading to one tonight. Now maybe I'll be able to get a sponsor.

Going to a zoom meeting in ten minutes. So I'll have two meetings. Think I'll keep up two meetings a day while I'm unemployed and waiting for college to start. I absolutely 100% need to stay sober right now because if I do, my dad will pay my tuition for my final year of college and I need to get this degree once and for all. I really can't get to too many meetings.

Sounds like you got the right idea FF. Keep it up. When does college start? Is it online only?
