My attention span has been pretty short today, so not super productive but I got some work done anyways. I feel like I need to get into the habit of making lists and using a planner daily to focus my attention better. Oh well.
I think one of the new chickens laid her first egg. It seems way too early, but we got a tiny egg the other day. picture attached of it next to a normal jumbo sized egg
Just checking in to say hi. IT is indeed good to be well and clear headed TC, even if my version of clear headed is a bit frazzled.
Have a good one guys

Willow, I’m so glad you’re celebrating day 12 today!
(keep your guard up for the next couple of days)
I would often make it through an event, only to cave a couple or three days later.
My sister’s wedding was a good example. Went there, had an additional micro-holiday with the wife, went to the mountains, all good. Three days later (after a couple of days at home) crash and burn. We sure do have a messed up psyche when it comes to booze and our decisions around it.
nmd: I can relate to the fuzzy-headedness. My short term memory is crap lately. I’ve employed several sticky-notes. haha.
I like the tiny egg. Cute.
Have a good night locals.
G’d mornin’ Aussies.

I have been really scatter minded, too. Maybe it's the full moon? I haven't been doing very well, sorry to say. There's this part about 'getting back' to recovery that is really hard. It takes a momentum built up, is how it feels, and I am so depressed that the momentum is not there at all. I haven't been going way overboard, just stuck in this 'not there yet' place. And I know the going overboard with drinking is right there if I don't stay sober, and that I can't control when it hits again.
I hope that all made sense. I'm sorry to be such a downer. I'll come back later when I'm feeling better and say something positive to make up for it.
It was fun exploring the Recovery Dharma group, but I found it wasn't for me, and least the Buddhism part. They don't believe we have a soul.
How can you be spiritual without a soul? I'm sure it's wonderful for a lot of people, though. I'm probably misunderstanding something.
Have a great sober day everyone!

Karen love ~ how about cutting down the amount you are drinking right now....over a couple of/a few days and add in some walks with Charlie and make some plans with us (gardening with Suze 
) and then you can stop completely. Just a thought. A plan.

It was 33°C and sunny a few days ago. Today, it is 2°C and raining. Bit of a downer. I would be lying if I said I haven't been thinking about making a trip to the liquor store. The boredom, isolation, and over-thinking is becoming unbearable. I don't have the money to drink so I will wake up sober tomorrow but I'm in a vulnerable state of mind. I really want to numb myself so I can relax.

I hope you can find the strength to stay sober too WL. Drinking is just awful in my experiences.
I wish I hadn’t picked up again.
Karen, I know how hard it is to come back, it takes a lot of courage and strength and determination. We’re with you all the way
TC, I know what you mean about caving AFTER a big event. I’ve done that quite a number of times. Weirdly wired brains…. So I’m being vigilant.
Nmd one of my chickens laid a mini egg like that as her first egg so cute. It was all yolk! Not a mini egg inside lol.
I’m on day 13. Sober Saturday at home.
I went grocery shopping this morning and also bought some new clothes for work. No temptation to go anywhere near a liquor store. I just keep shutting down any thoughts about drinking as soon as they arise.
