The new Alpine
My previous thread was knocking down the AV. I now do not want to have AV in my title, plus I guess my previous one was getting too long. I guess I talk too much which is unusal for me. Having some stuggles which is the norm in life. I just need to open my tool box.

Congrats on opening this "New Alpine" thread!
The completion of the "AV knock down" thread deserves a diploma, here it is!
Long life to your sobriety (and you of course!)
Hug from an "adoring fan" as Bim call them

Awesome CK, thanks
And thanks to everyone else.
Another sober day ahead of me where I can enjoy clarity. Clarity improves my life so much and the life of Mr. A as well, and I guess it would improve the lives of all others I interact with. Not to be arrogant with that statement.,,I guess what I was trying to convey is that the drinking Alpine is a completely different person than the sober one and I am far more productive when not drinking..Obvious right..?
I was not feeling well at all yesterday, and ended up getting sick a couple of times. I am feeling slightly better, not great, but better.
Tool box: Play the tape forward and backward regarding drinking. I don't like seeing what happened in the past and I don't want that today or in the future.

Still feeling dizzy and nauseous but not as bad as yesterday, thanks for asking. I should just kick back and relax which is not me at all. This too shall pass.
I know in times past when I was not feeling well I would drink just to be able to uhm...sleep for the day. That solves absolutely nothing. Dealing with some other issues too with my MIL which is getting challenging for me.

Feeling nauseous is manageable because it is not from drinking and I know it will pass. If it was from drinking I would just be chasing my tail and going in circles...nauseous, drink to decrease it, it goes away temporarily , then comes back then drink more. No thank you.

Feeling better, not back to my norm, but better which is good. I did feel guilty about doing a bunch of nothing yesterday so I tried to use my rowing machine in the afternoon and got in only 20minutes. Later in the day I did some weeding in my MIL's front yard. Continue on with my focus despite the many ups and downs and triggers coming up. There will always be particular situations, words, actions that will trigger me, so it is my goal to do it in a productive manner. It is 100% up to me how I deal with them and will dig deep to achieve my goal and path. I know some huge challenges are coming up so at least I have time to prepare.

Doing fairly well, still not feeling 100%, but I will take it. Went on a short bike with Mr. A which was nice then went to visit his Dad at the nursing home. There have been a few situations lately that have bothered and made me think briefly about drinking just to escape. I have to keep reminding myself that I will not be escaping from anything by drinking. Infact it would be the exact opposite and I would be causing more issues that are unended.
