Negman I think you are 4 days in front of Fizzy, so that means today - Friday - you are at 75 days! Congrats!!!!

Fizzy, don't fall into the trap that just 'cause you only went 10 weeks last time that's all you'll do this time. (I know you won't) You are SUCH an inspiration. I'm SO proud of you.

Proud of everyone else here too!

Today is day 8 for me!

Day 71

Brains playing tricks on me tonight, I know its just another weekend and I know I don't want to drink.

Kind o got this missing feeling somehow though.

Everyone I spoke to at work seems to be out an the randan tonight, in fact I'm pretty sure that everyone in Scotland is out getting hammered and I'm the only guy sitting watching Big Brother on me todd.

Not really true cos my wifes in as well and the kids are in bed, just feel I'm missing something.

Off now cos I ain't making any sense.

FizzyWater

and obviously my posts normally make lots of sense !!!!!!!!!!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FizzyWater

oh and the guy next door isn't out on the bevvy either cos he's just walked past my house taking his dog for a walk.

Bet he had a couple of wee halfs before he did that though !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 32. I asked someone to be my sponsor last night. She said yes. I am calling her in 30 minutes. I am so nervous. More nervous than an interview. I feel like I could vomit. I am glad I made the first step and I think it is a good.

benjiboy

(Fizzy)Wibble wibble! Your gonna have to find something excitein' to do...sooner or later you'll get cabin fever...think that you're boring....go out...heaven forbid...enjoy yerself...and that's the end of fizzychops' sobriety...my advise...start knitting...or collecting those nice plates with pictures of kittens on...or maybe you could learn one of those foriegn languages you hear on the telly...like English perhaps....I myself am, as we speak, sporting a very nice cashmere, full length, night time body glove...designed on a Christmas theme, with the little lowing cows at my feet and the star of Bethlehem dangling over my head...and in the mirror I practice ordering yaks milk in the ancient language of the Landingdong tribe of South East asia. Oh yes..now that i've given up drinking my life is moving in all sorts of directions I never thought possible. Friday night?
Love 'em!
Well I'm off to bed...or as they say in the Smongtallypopo province of Mongolia..
"Shibby tutu elsiburp burpy zagga zagga!!!" (don't you just love em!)

benjiboy

Well done cm!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant news...we're all behind you...best of luck!!!!!!!

FizzyWater

Bloke next door came back with his dog.

Bet he had a sneaky pint somewhere, was away too long for just a walk !!!

benjiboy

5 shillings?

LogCabin

LOL! Oh yeah...I remember those days. I could hide them in my bra. In my pants.



Ok now I am confused.... My last drink was at 10:00am on May 9th, 2008. I was riding a bus home, and I ran out of my rum or gin..whatever. And I decided to not get anymore...

So that makes May 10th, 2008 my sobrity date. So by this calendar I'm only on day 70 TODAY. I thought I was at day 72. Oh well...it does not really matter...just my OCD brain overthinking anyway.

Calendar - USA - 2008


But then I go to the AA caculator page and it says...69 days today. Sigh...

Glad to hear from you Steam and Negman!! You guys are doing amazing. Don't lose touch with all of us. I think Fizzy really needs some help right now. He's fantasizing about his neighbor's dog walks lately. Don't tell anyone, but I'm very worried about him.

FizzyWater

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And so onto day 72

Yep Steamvessel, know what you mean about how long it takes to heal.

One minute I feel great, no thoughts of drinking, next I find myself thinking I could just really go some Voddie.

I know I don't want it but also sure I may well get tempted and say what the heck at some point.

Not tonight though.

Thanks guys

Day 33 and leaving for a meeting in 30 minutes that my sponsor is speaking at. It is 45 minutes away so I had to find a ride as I have no license. Good thing I did as I am a little depressed. Do not feel like drinking just depressed.

Last night I went to a meeting and when I got home I wanted to spend a few minutes with the dog I share with my ex. (we broke up 4 months ago and are still good friends and he takes me to meetings). So I went in while he waited in the car. All the dog wanted to do was run out the door he had had his fun with my family and was ready to go home. It made me cry. He is not my dog anymore. He is my ex's dog. I am an animal lover and it kills me he said I could take him for a few days down the road (I am going to wait until I have my license back. Which is like 25 - 26 more days. I just cannot believe I am so torn over this. Maybe I realize my life is different over all now and will never be the same and while I look forward to that, I also dread it.

8 days

Horselover

chmcali - I'm so sorry. That had to be REALLY hard. Can you see yourself, down the road, rescuing another animal from a shelter?? It may be something in your future when you're feeling stronger. I would adopt lots of animals if I had the space. I hope your meeting goes well today and congratulations on 33 days! That's something to be happy about.

Hi Time2Surrender. Congratulations on 8 days! I think the first couple weeks can be very hard, but you've done this before. Hope you have time to ride your quad.

Fizzy - I was just playing with you by the way and I have also had those fleeting thoughts of returning to drinking. I have a workbook and I think its called 'The Women's guide to the 12 steps." I'm on step 1 right now and it helps. It helps me remember what exactly alcohol did to my love ones around me and why I'm surrendering to the fact I can no longer drink. I think as we go along we need to remember what brought us here in the first place. Have a great day with the family Fizzy!!

69 days for me today.

Time2Surrender

Thanks. For 8 days I feel pretty good. Night and day compared to a week ago. And as for the quad? Took it out yesterday.

I'm more than half way through my day 6 and feeling much better! Slept real good last night and hope this becomes the norm. No desire to drink - especially since I'm learning how long it's taking my body, brain and stamina to return to normal. Talk about a learning experience - yikes!!

I can't put into words how helpful SR and it's members have been in my recovery. The determination and openness here is a tremendous inspiration!
