I can totally relate to this sentiment Spudida. Its hard to grasp change emotionally any ways. 8 days is wonderful. 8 days means you made it with 8 "not going to drink for today" days. You will be emotional, but you'll learn to deal with them instead of numbing them. You may feel overwhelmed with emotions at some point and you should plan on how you are going to deal with that. I think planning ahead is key. Congratulations again and welcome to SR and this group. :ghug3

I have not been on in a few days. I have learned I hate my emotions and I am codependent in relationships. I am spiritually dead but working on that. 70 days sober though.

Toomuch, congratulations, that is wonderful!!!!!
cmhcali, doing a little bit of work huh? You are doing great and are right where you are supposed to be. Congrats on 70 days!! :ghug3

I am doin okay. I start my DUI group classes tonight. Not looking forward to it as I imagine most people have no desire to be there or believe that they are alcoholic, just unlucky. Not me, I am an alcoholic and I would rather spend my time in a 12 step meeting!

Day 109

Hi everyone!

Congratulations TooMUCH!!!!!! Wooo Hooo to YOU!

I have a job interview at 1:30 today. I am ready. It will be a commute to get there every day on public transportation but I am ok with that. I just want to get it!

Yesterday school started for my son. 11th grade. Wow. And I played taxiMom for both kids. It was fun to be with them. (I had my Mom's car to drive them around. And I have it today to get to the interview.) Then I will bring it back to her.

I am taking care of my tooth, and the pain is getting less and less.

Not much else. Happy to be sober today on this beautiful day. To bad I have to wear a suit....

I agree with Bostonluv. Not a lot to say, but congratulations everyone and good LC on that interview. I know what you mean about getting "dressed up." I am very uncomfortable in anything but jeans and a t-shirt. LOL! Way to go Least!! Proud of you all.

day 110

Computer wasn't working for a few days but its fixed now.

Think its getting easier again, not drinking is becoming just a way of life for me.

Managed to fit a 6 mile walk with the family, going to a football match, camping out with my son and the family going swimming into the weekend.

Aren't weekends so long and fun when you can remember everything you did, have no hangovers and some great sleeps.
