Congrats on 7 weeks calmself that's fantastic 😎
Feeling a little stronger in my recovery each day. Was just thinking I didn't drink for three weeks in October, and I only started again when my mum visited. She likes a drink and I thought it would be awkward when we sat down together in the evenings without a drink. Classic AV talk! My sister gave up drinking 18 months ago and we had a good chat about it on the phone about it for the first time. She said one or even two glasses was never enough, she wanted the bottle and more. Sounded familiar! Two more days then back to the stresses and strains of working and running my daughter to and from school etc. This will test my recovery but I feel ready for that.
Take care everyone and welcome aboard Sobering and all newcomers to the class

I’m going to join after a failed attempt in November. Really frustrating in that in that instance I had little to no withdrawal symptons, but after 2 hard months on it, this time around I’m retching and generally feeling awful,
34 hours since last drink and praying to get past these symptons!

Good morning! Waking up hangover free is the best! Thanks everyone for sharing and being here to support one another 
I am going to start journaling today and listen to some episodes of Heart of the Matter. I love Elizabeth Vargas and her podcast is amazing.
Way to go Citrus!! You are so strong.
Calmself, congratulations on 7 weeks!!

Late afternoon here x
was nice to read some peoples sharing posts x
I have just done exactly as i said i would do today, took tree down. i have just woken up from a nap and had some nibbles earlier. Not much else to add as im not doing much and just keeping it in the zone. Oh i have to do my journal, then i guess just watch some tv or go to bed again and read. Hoping to get a better sleep tonight x

Hi all-
Welcome to all the newcomers!
Day 7 for me. Feeling really good, although still working on getting the sleep thing down, but still better than while drinking.
Had a few tugs this morning about watching football-AV acting up, saying football=alcohol-which is so weird because I don't really associate the two. Ignored and blocked--like a bad Tinder date, LOL.
Have a great day all!

Way to go on 7 Sam!!
I hope you can get some good sleep Erratic.
Hi Suze
Jewel I hope your day is going well, I can't remember where you are located... or what time of day it is for you.
I am about to make a big brunch for my guys to devour while watching football.
Just got done with a really good Smart meeting. Planning on another one this evening. ❤

Afternoon all
Day 16... Chugging along.
Woke up to a call from one of my best friends yesterday (who I told of my new found sobriety last week). We were often drinking buddies, he wanted to talk through stopping too, during the conversation I could hear his voice and his AV fighting...
"I'm worried about what might happen when I drink" (friend)
"I don't have an off switch" (friend)
"What will I do on a Friday evening if I stop?" (AV)
"I wouldn't drink wine if it didn't have alcohol in it" (friend)
"I'll be strange, maybe miserable if I stop, I don't know if I can" (AV)
These were virtually identical thoughts to the ones I have had on and off for years...
Anyway, I told him to come here and do some reading...
I hope everyone had a good and sober New Year...
