Hi Everybody,
No excuse for falling off this board except for turning away from my higher power.
I'm on day one. In a row of day ones and twos.
What you're doing: keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. It's not worth it to fall off. Remember that first sober day you had and how grateful you were. Be grateful for this day too.
I'm back up on the board now. On the two week and under thread. I'll see you there, or eventually, here.
Rock on.

I am so glad you came back Negman!! We missed you and in fact, someone started a thread not long ago asking about you. Even though you slipped you still have the energy to cheer people on. Really missed you and glad you've returned!

Welcome home negman.
When we didn't hear from you I did fear ............
Been following you for months, really not planning to be 4 days behind you this time, hoping to see your progress though, here if you need me.
Lets stick another bar of the fire on and you put your feet up.
I'd offer you a biscuit but CM's not been to the shops yet.
Our journey continues my friend, just different paths for a while.
Its a well trodden path though and I reckon you'll find the way ok.

In large part due to the help, support, and unfailing love of my friends here I am 65 days sober today. Each new sober day only strengthens my resolve to stay that way!
Love and hugs to all.:ghug

Day 170, 2 weeks to go to 6 months...
I don't think about drinking much these days. But I was out to dinner at a really nice restaurant and realized that I was probably the only person in the place not drinking wine. Dinner had matching wine courses so I think most people in the place were having like 6 different glasses of wine with dinner. I was just about to start feeling sorry for myself, but it occurred to me that a glass of wine was not going to improve the flavor of the meal, which was excellent. Old habits I guess, but in retrospect it seems some drinking habits are based on myths when you think about it, how can ingesting alcohol improve the quality or taste of a meal? It can't. Kind of funny how much louder people got as they progressed through the meal, I mean wine courses, too.
Oh well thats all my deep thoughts today.

Hey everyone!! Just checking in. No drinking cravings. Well, nothing I can't handle right now. Home today with a little chest cold and headache. No biggie. Everyone seems to be doing pretty good except we're still waiting on biscuts from Christin who is too busy cancelling coffee dates than bake! What's up with that?

15 and 7 weeks,
alcohol- and nicotine-free, respectively.
I find that without the demands drinking and being hung-over used to make on my time, I've become more consistent about practicing good habits.
I'm sleeping well and regularly. My morning workout has grown to 300 crunches and 2 miles daily, 100 push-ups every other day. I've consistently banked 10% of my gross and have become more aggressive about paying down my debts. I'm setting reasonable goals for the future and taking steps to achieve them.
