I got incredibly lucky today not getting a conviction. Hopefully next week will be OK then I never have to be in court again.
.
I drank a little after court but couldn't keep it down. Probably a sign.
So tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life. Church, AA, prayer, meditation, exercise, healthy eating. I'll ring the rehab and see if they can give me an idea how long I'll be waiting for.

Samwitch, today is your day!
WildChild, thanks for your helpful post. I identify with your experience a lot.
Well, I just had an unpleasant experience. went to try on a pair of winter boots I saw on an online buy and sell site. They were nothing like the photos or description. I said "I'm sorry I will pass" and the lady was so huffy, said "suit yourself " and slammed the door in my face! I got to thinking though. Maybe she had a horrible day at work and needs the extra cash because of bills and gas going up. I guess I'm trying to be kinder and forgive. But it was a bit unnerving!

Well it's after midnight. Day 1. Enjoying some Pepsi max. Hopefully I'll get back to sleep. It's too icy to run this morning but I'm going to head for a walk before church.
Excited about the future. Worried about court next week but whatever happens happens. Nervous about rehab but it's just twelve weeks.

Samwich, I'm sorry you are struggling. These past few months and especially these last few weeks and days have been hell for me, which lead to me starting to binge drink again....and having horrific urges to drink. So I am here. I feel you. What's the longest stretch you've ever been without drinking?

End of Day 116 - today I pretended to pick up a 6 pack of beer when my little son and I went to get grocery. He had a puzzled look and asked me "Daddy are you sure?" I just smiled and said no way and put it back. We then got Chobani yogurt drink and came home. Glad I was able to pick my favorite ipa and put it back.
Hope everyone has a sober day ahead. Good night from Seattle!

Morning all
Sam-I'm sorry you are struggling but great stuff on getting through day 1.
FF-good news re court.Sorry to read you drank after. Maybe getting some more support now is needed rather than just relying on rehab especially when it could be a few weeks away.
Erratic=hope work goes well
Leshar-that sounds very unpleasant. I would also be unnerved at that. Great way of looking at it though
Day 11. Full of a cold. Not covid. Bleurgh. But at least it's not a hangover. Catch you all later xx

I had the weirdest dream RAL ~ elephants were loose (from the zoo?) and one was on top of my house. And as I went to bring my cat inside (Venus was in the dream) I saw that another elephant had gotten into the apartment next door...was banging on/playing with a push-out window. I can still see it clearly in my head. I was thinking oh my, my landlady is going to have a fit when I tell her about this.
Hello all,
RAL, I'm sorry you're under the weather atm. I imagine your labs may improve with more time?
CalmSelf, it's great to see you racking up the time. I don't know though about confusing your child with the beer. Best to just leave it alone imo.
Through my own efforts, many calls and emails, I got my biologic agent for psoriasis delivered yesterday! Pleased I persevered and was my own advocate. I hope it helps.
