Primativo you got some good insights in your post. We alcoholics just cannot drink at all. I'm rooting for you!
Rooting for everyone on here. This class is packed. Praying for everyone struggling.. even if you slip, no shame. Just stick and stay.
Good night everyone

Good morning. Day 3. Getting vaccinated this morning which I'm anxious about. Everything makes me anxious lately.
My case nurse rang yesterday and he wants me to come in on Thursday. Suppose I can tell him everything that's going on and maybe have my mess adjusted.

Morning all
Congrats on 3 weeks sober Misttqueen 😊
Leshar – I hope your evening at the new theatre went well 😊
Welcome Primativo. That sounds awful – it’s good to have you back here. I drank to cover my social anxiety too. I only socialise now when I feel ok. Otherwise I just stay at home or do solo pursuits.
Good news about Vax FF and seeing your case nurse.
Morning Erratic - it will get better
Day 30. I think that’s a month. onto month 2 now. thanks to everyone here. I could not have got this far without this group and you all.
Hope everyone has a great day x

Congrats RAL!
Primativo, your story was me as well, but stated better than I could. I'm also in the mindset of getting some time in so it can get easier. It's usually about 2 weeks for me before I really start to feel rid of it. Lately, after that 2 weeks, I start to look for excuses to drink. I'm trying to work on dismissing any excuses that come up. Aren't we all. Given the time of month, I'll be jumping into April as well.
I'm on day 8 today.

Hey all-
I'm here. I'm sober though it took quite the effort to get that first day in but I did, finally. Day 3.
My anxiety was through the roof during the 13 days(!!!) I drank. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Why do I keep doing this--ugh.
Well, I'm not going to go to shame factory because that won't help so onward and forward. Major life changes in motion for me and this year(aside from this last dive back into a wine bottle) has been the best in years and I will continue building on my successes.
Glad to see lots of new people as well as people who are doing so well.

Hey gang! I'm catching up on all the posts! Way to go Ral and BTG! Samwitch, I've been there! Good job on getting back to day one and 3 days is great!
Day 20 for me and feeling hopeful. I played in a golf tournament this weekend and stayed sober. HUGE for me! I took lots of drinks and snacks and it was actually nice. I even won my flight! Playing sober golf was never an option for me, I would get up early just to make sure I could have a few drinks before my teatime (you know, it relaxed me HAHA). I think I may be a better golfer sober, who would have thought?!?!
I have a had a few bumps, but am very grateful that I have tools in my bag that helped me stay sober. I work in a family business with my husband and father in law. It can get pretty stressful! Yesterday they got in a huge fight and it was bad. I just told them I had to walk away. My father in law screamed at me but I kept walking. It was something, 21 days ago, that would have sent me straight to booze.
Very thankful to be sober today.

Ral- congrats on 30 days! That's a huge step 😀
primativo and bobdrop- i also drank to ease my social anxiety. Then I would binged and the anxiety would get worse and I would drink more...a viscious cycle. Now I just limit myself to situations that I'm comfortable with. I am trying to learn to be kind to myself.
I have more to say, but I need coffee ☕️ Have a good day everyone.

Yep, this is what happens to me, it's either after a week, two weeks or a few months, I eventually get to a point where I decide I can drink again with no issues, and the pattern starts again.
