Day 11. Very tired. Started taking iron pills for my anaemia so hopefully I will feel better in a few days.
Hope - I had a headache for quite a while at the beginning when I stopped in September. The two slips I've had since then haven't put me back at square one again physically or mentally.

10/13/08 - my new sobriety date!
Hi everybody - congratulations on all of your sober time! I hope everyone will continue to post - no matter what happens - sometimes I feel bad because I've slipped and I don't want to post for fear of judgement - but oh well, we all make mistakes right?!

Hey Ruby- glad to hear it! I am happy to have you as a fellow sober recoverer in the class of October 2008! I'm finding meetings to be really helpful. You might try if you haven't already. It was scary for me the first time (on day 3), but I went yesterday to a different meeting and then again today (day 5) to another meeting- and guess what- tonight's meeting was the best of all. I got invited to go out and grab a bite afterwards and meet other people just like me- going through the same things. Anyway, just thought I'd share that and best of luck to you in your recovery!

Welcome timzup. I think we were together in September, weren't we. I haven't seen Pixy for a while. Wibble went on holiday and never came back!
Day 14 for me, by the skin of my teeth. Came very close to relapsing last night. I was so unhappy and feeling sorry for myself. Self pity is a very dangerous emotion for me!
But feeling a bit better today. How is everyone else in our class?

Day 14. I'm so tired today. I tossed and turned all night and couldn't get any sleep at all. Fortunately, today is a rainy day so maybe that is a good excuse to curl up in bed and try to a least get a few hours of sleep.
I know this shall pass though.

Rainy days are great for snuggling up in your duvet! Perfect excuse. The sun is shining here, and I'm going to take my little girl to the circus later (no animals in UK circuses). She is so excited.
Have a restful day, Hope. We shall be two weeks tomorrow. It feels like a miracle that I've made another two weeks after my slip up.

Lostbutterfly and JPat, sounds like a great day of plans for both of you! 
I was finally able to get a little bit of sleep. But I woke up feeling still tired so I am just going to do some recovery reading and then maybe go back to sleep.

Your day by day success does my heart good. I feel happy for me when I feel happy for you!

Day 15 - done.
I feel like I am walking through a swamp full of quicksand and I don't know if my next step is going to be on solid land or not! I just don't know what is coming next - emotions, thoughts, obsessions.
Well done everyone, we're hanging on, sometimes by a thread! Or is that just me?!!
