90 Days and Under Club
CM - 4 weeks is great, I can relate to what your saying.
I've got a reasonable job ( stop short of great ), a house ( unfortunatly also a mortgage ! ), car, family etc.
The thing that I always ( still do ) feared the most was being caught out, that someone would notice I'd a shake, or could smell drink on me etc
A wee cry might just make you feel better, I won't tell anyone if you don't and nobody reads this thread anymore anyway.

Hey CM....You are making a concerted effort to better yourself and cure yourself...it takes guts and effort....and many of us stumble on the path....be afraid of not trying...be afraid of big hairy spiders....you should be proud of yourself...it's not easy doing what we are all doing...we might make light of things as we go along but it's tough...but quite frankly we're all doing well...together...these feelings will pass and will in time be replaced with ones of accomplishment, fullfilment and excitement for the future. You deserve it, I deserve, we deserve it (except perhaps Fizzy) ...so lets HAVE IT!!!!! Here's to US...free in Sobriety...
Like that, I' HAVIN IT !!!!!!!
Day 67 nearly done - Free in sobriety.
From the Braveheart script:
William: Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.
Young soldier: William Wallace is 7 feet tall.
William: Yes, I’ve heard. He kills men by the hundreds, and if he were
here he’d consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts
of lightning from his arse.
I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny.
You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are.
What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran soldier: Fight against that? No, we will run, and we will live.
William: Aye, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least a while.
And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to
trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one
chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take
our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom?!
Alba gu bra! (Scotland forever!)

Whoa. Been awhile since I've been on here. I'm on day 71. Hanging in there.
It's getting a little tougher to be honest. All those feelings I've repressed for years... They're starting to come to the surface. outside of meetings, I find it hard to be around people.
Going to push through. Rock on everyone.

Happy Monday all!
Life is pretty okay today.
I turn 40 tomorrow and I am 67 days sober. I am SOOOOO grateful that I will be sober for this milestone bday.
I would have been so depressed if I was drinking still.

Day 29 for me. I feel so empty. I feel depressed. I do not think I really feel my feelings. I think they just sit there. I get trapped in one thing which is not healthy. And that one thing consumes me and I do not deal with anything but that one thing. I am going to a meeting tonight. Have one lined up for tomorrow and Thursday. I get my license back in 31 days. I should be happy about all this.
(((cmhcall))) Praying for you hon. Keep posting and let us know how your meeting goes. Have you found any friends or sponsor through AA? I'm not in AA, but it can definitely work for people. It sounds like you need someone to lean on right now. PM me anytime you want. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
