Hit a large rough patch last night while talking with Mr. Alpine. It is hard enough to live so far apart, but add on a difficult situation on top of it is no fun at all for me. I need to keep focused and not have alcohol to escape because that situation will still be there. I hope everyone is doing well.

Keep focussed alpine. I'm sorry things are tough. I know it's cheesy but I love the Bon Jovi line of 'living for the fight when it's all that you've got...' - focussing on this fight helps me when other things are not going so well. And then I get satisfaction from getting through each day

Hi Classmates,
There is a snow squall warning here, high winds, so my friend and I decided to cancel our drive this am. Just as well, I'm really tired now.
Be, I like your "domestic administration" phrase! It makes doing chores sound so much more sophisticated!

You scared me a moment there Calm. I misread your post with the spaces in the quote and thought you were ending day 1. I reread it properly the second time. I’m posting mostly in the January class but still checking in on the February class too. Keep up the good work everyone. I’m at day 91, 3 months today. If I can do it, you can too.

Good morning! Checking in on this rainy Saturday on day 20. It's the beginning of my work week, so I have a few long days ahead of me. Had a good day with my son yesterday, we went shopping and had lunch together, took the dog on a walk. Getting my labs done on Tuesday, I skipped my appointment last August, so taking care of that. Also got my intake scheduled for out patient, it's not til March 11th, but it's in the books. Have a good Saturday!

Coming to the end of Day 3. Wasn't a great day, in a bit of a depressive funk. Hopefully the lexapro will start working soon. The pharmacy say I need a new script Monday but I have an appt fortunately.
Tomorrow will be a better day hopefully. At least I don't want to drink. I mean I do but I don't really, you know?

Good night all - going to bed sober at the end of two weeks sobriety. I'm impatient to move forward but time is not rearranging itself for me, so therefore I must be patient and keep doing all the right things.
Have a good one everyone

Hi all, hi Labfriend!
The weather outside is frightful!
High winds blowing snow everywhere. I'm fortunate that I am able to hire out the snow removal from around my house and driveway. I called my guy and told him not to come today. I'm not going anywhere and it's just miserable. Left a message. Hope he got it. He's a lovely man, who always looks out for me. I went out to take in my bird feeder as it was coming loose from its moorings. It was horrible!

Gosh it seems like there's lots of undesirable weather going on and maybe I'm the only one in summer on the thread?
Today is day 2.. I had a very long sleep for me and unbroken, yay!!
I'm already feeling the crave for the end of the day, I have been 'told off' like a child already for not paying enough attention and this just makes me mad/upset and I have to pretend like it doesn't affect me and then I start thinking of drinking..
I'm not sure what to do to get past these feelings..

I am in summer in my mind dear Red. 
It may take me many more years to get used the fact that February is cold-weather time here.
I understand: that makes me upset as well. And then my less than best instincts take over if I let them....but we can calm ourselves. Approve of ourselves. We can give ourselves a pat on the back when others around us are being critical.
