thx dee, somethings gotta give. I obviously need the support, plus i start out patient in a couple of weeks. And can get medical labs done at the same time. Sometimes I guess we just need a little help.

morning x
just woke up from having bad dreams, i know its part of early sobriety, just have to try and shrug it off. start of day 6 and nothing much planned today, just keep aware and take tablet and keep sober. least i got through the tough friday but it wasnt that tough, hub bought a chipper so had that for dinner and was really tired after so went to bed early.

have read everyones posts and welcome back jewel and good to see u BTG. well done everyone getting through those cravings, im glad u got through them and is carrying on ur hard work of sober days xx

will leave it there for now, will keep close again x hope u have good saturday xx

Morning. Heading into day 70. It’s 10 weeks. Seems like a long time ago that I last drank. Calm, looks like I’m one week behind you. Good going on shutting off the AV. Good going on 8 days Free. Going to be a nice day today. I’m going to try to get out and do some snowshoeing.

Hey Calmself, good for you on shutting down that AV and thank you for posting about it. I look forward to seeing your successful posts as they inspire me. So to hear you talk about the AV hitting you is a good reminder that I'm not alone in this and that we can win these struggles and have power over our decisions. Thank you. I also really like this quote I came across this morning: "We are either working on recovery or we're working on relapse".

Morning all, day 43...

Yesterday evening was the first Friday (danger day) where I did not think about drinking, just realised now.

Is everyone staying in "class January"? Lots of us jumped in from December I think. Glad to see everyone sticking with it, we all know giving up is not an option.

All the best---this sounds like the right step to take, I'm proud of you for doing so.

Hey Erratic, do want you need to do: complain, eat chocolate and drink coffee, etc. This too shall pass.

Hey all-
Day 34. Thank the gods I can say that, there was a time yesterday I was sure I'd have to come back here and confess I drank.
So, instead of drinking, I had a really nice night full of books, ice cream and a deep deep sleep.

Busy tonight here - Saturday night - 6pm - the party would just be getting going - always the worst time for me, though Friday is a close second, followed by Bank Holiday Mondays. And holidays and Birthdays (Anyone's) and good days at work and bad days at work, etc. etc. Oh Dear... glad I'm not alone - I almost feel I don't have to post because everyone else has just already said everything I'm thinking.

Dog came back from grooming parlour today - honestly, it was bloody hilarious - he went in the scruffiest, dirtiest, muddiest fleabag and came out looking like Oscar Wilde.
Night all. Stay close.
