It creates stress just thinking about trying to moderate because while I was drinking "just a couple" I would be having an internal battle about getting more which would make the couple I was having not even enjoyable. Then once affected by it I would lose all control of the amount I consumed.

I think I'm okay now, but I was having a really bad time with craving a little bit ago. I am on day 5, that's a hard day, in my experience. Tomorrow will be better because I don't drink alcohol today.
I thought my son was going to hang out at home tonight. I told him if he would walk Charley, I would run to the store and get a few things for dinner. When I got back, he was gone and Charley had not been out. It made me mad and sad.
Expectations are dangerous.

You know, I was just thinking, there is a tub of raspberry with dark chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer. Funny you thought of that, too, Boondock. I'm going to make it through. I'm feeling really sad. But, that's just something humans do, I won't drink over it.

Morning all . Had a great 9 hour sleep. I'm working from home until the kids come in, then got football training at 6 and will watch the Euro semi finals with my youngest at eight.
Im just beginning to think about - and remember - what worked for me in the early days of my last, long sober run. One thing was eating a lot, grazing, to keep my blood sugars level. I tend to crave when I'm hungry. Another was walking daily, so I'm going to make sure I get an hour in today, will probably help loosen my back up a bit

Ok I'm signing up for the Class of July...Sober date July 3rd.
Phase 1: Get sober
So, I just got out of 3-day detox.
Phase 2: Find a healthy living situation
I moved away from my mutually toxic relationship into a womens' sober living home...
(I'm sharing a room, slighty uncomfortable and feeling my allergies take a turn for the worse. However, I'm going to bed sober, and safe --except from allergens
Phase 3: Long-term Recovery
I'm going to follow through with getting a sponsor and working my program this time. I really want to live a meaningful life and show real love to my children and be present in the world.
I'm scared but grateful for this new beginning and I'm happy to be with SR!
One Day At A Time
Love ya'll

Morning July class
Just checking in at start of day 45. Had my 6:30 meeting to set my self up for the day.
Started doing service at 24hr zoom meeting.
Remaining as disciplined as possible to keep the alcoholic mind at bay.
I got a little lazy yesterday and noticed the av ramping up.
Av doesn't seem to take days off lol. If only it would take a little holiday I could watch netflix for a day
Hope everyone has a great day. Stay safe, stay close to Sr, stay sober.

Morning all
Welcome back KTB
Karen -so glad you got through last night. I hope you feel better this morning.
someday-many congrats on day 45
KTB - that's a really promising sobriety foundation. Congrats to you for having the strength to make so many positive changes to your life.
Be-isn't it wonderful when we finally start sleeping well Hope you and your kids enjoy the football tonight.
How are things with you Boondock? You're so supportive and helpful to everyone in this class. hoping you are taking care of you too.
My first thought this morning was thank God I didn't drink last night, quickly followed by why on earth were you having drinking thoughts about tonight? The reason was that I am going away for a couple of days. Instead of drinking in the bar or with dinner I will have the earliest dinner possible then a walk then to bed with Netflix and a box of chocolates and seltzer. Might have to watch the football a bit too I have books to read and will sleep well and wake feeling refreshed. It's a spa break. Why on earth would people drink. Madness which I will not be taking part in. I feel stronger this morning after a wobbly couple of days. I have my SMART book and other sobirety reading material in my bag. Might do a SMART meeting if things get bad. But I don't think they will. I think I will be ok. I DO NOT DRINK.
Take care all.x
