Thanks Dee. I'll be 3 years sober in 8 days now. Still getting headaches after Covid (6 weeks on now) I'm going to a pain specialist in 2 weeks. The intensity of the headaches isn't as bad
as before but I want to get this checked out.

Thank you for all the love and support. Day 2 since my hubby death. My husband's firstborn (my stepson) came over tonight. He and his dad had a falling out 4 or 5 years ago, the guilt this 21 year old is carrying inside is horrible. He will never have a chance to make amends with his father. Something my hubby wanted very much. Alcohol and the powerful hold it had over us, the struggle of trying to quit alone...it breaks you. Body and spirit. Over and over again. I did not drink today. I am staying close to SR and you wonderful people. I have no doubt the AV is near. #ODAAT

I first joined in 2012, making it a shameful decade of being on and off the wagon. Ten years of broken promises and worthless pledges. It was always 'just' beer before, but things have got a lot, lot worse over the last 18 months until now, at 52, there's a bit of me who wonders if it's too late and maybe I should just 'own' my alcoholism and roll with it. But these are stupid thoughts I know.

Welcome marksthespot.. Like Dee said its never too late, I've been battling the daily beast for around 20 years now and just finishing up day 2. It's hard but We have to keep coming back, put aside the shame of starting over, again, and do the best we can..
Today was my 1st day back at work in 2 weeks after having covid and also my partner being out of isolation, we work together so if he can't work I can't work. It was a big day and we had my 11yr old Stepson with us and we clashed today many times over, I'm really struggling with how to deal with him at the moment as he's always being smart and talking back to me. I honestly felt like I wanted a drink at the end of the day but thankfully chose a ginger beer instead..
BTG I'm glad you popped in to let us know how you are, thinking of you both..

Yes. You too! Well done on sober since Feb, that's really good. My last drink was 8am* yesterday so I'm currently on a sweaty 27 hours alcohol free. Looking forward to better days ahead.
(*yes. I know.)
