Maybe you can plan something for yourself after work, like walking the dog or cleaning the pool. :)

Day 17 is fabulous dear BD, and I have your sober date noted, now. :) xx :hug:

I wish we had a pool! Not really practical in the climate where I live though!

I do have a Peloton session planned and also a new book on my Kindle as well. I also have a new audio book I downloaded to listen to on my drive home to distract myself (a book about stopping negative self-talk…which I really need help with).

Thanks for recording my sober date!

Yeah, a pool would be nice, huh? :)

Sounds to me like you have this covered, dear BD. The only other thing I might add is a snack in the afternoon, so you are not too hungry or HANGRY on the way home from work. :hug:

This is the thread where I want to be - kind of interactive. I was a bit lost on the site. I think I've been posting in the wrong places. I'm here to stop drinking and want to join in and encourage others.

venuscat 08-23-2022 02:04 PM

Good morning, Dee :hug: ❤️
