Good morning. Just checking in this morning. Day 4 and feeling pretty good. Have a dr appointment this morning. Will see what he has to say and will probably try the campral again i supposed. I dont really care for my doctor but havent changed yet. Need to at least go and check in i suppose. Will talk to all of you when i get home.
craze just be honest with them, they will work with you if you work with them, I have a friend who works with Fannie Mae, she has told me for many years that as long as some one is working with them and keeping thier word they will bend over backwards to help them out.

Lot of familiar stories here, me too! I'm convinced meeting a buddy of mine for a couple of pitchers and some cigarettes is always my downfall. My alcohol consumption goes way up when I hang out with him so I think I'll need to be tough and disciplined and just say no. I have tried that for 3 weeks straight and each time around 4pm I find a reason to text him and meet him at the bar. Now I'm buying cigarettes which makes me want to drink, nightmare. I woke up extremely hungover after two pitchers, a bottle of wine, and about a pack of cigs. That is probably why I am here again. The cigs have to go, my discipline and resolve is much better without them. No booze during the week is what I have to stick to, rain or shine. I'm committed to being here each day for support.

I can relate
Your story sounds pretty similar to me. It's hard, I still can't understand why I can't stay sober when my life is so much better in every way when I am sober! What's the deal?!
I'm working on Day 2 also. Don't be too hard on yourself (easy for me to say!) I am REALLY working on not kicking myself in the a$@ too much - I am trying to focus on the future. Not beat myself up over the past.
Hang in there and we'll all get through this together. I feel a lot less lonely now that I am on here.
Gotta go to a meeting (I'm so proud of myself for that!) Take care!!!!

Opened the fridge, wine was staring at me. Closed the fridge. Hopped in the car, drove down the street to the gym, hopped on the stationary bike for 25 minutes! Feel friggin great! Plus I'll go asleep tonight knowing that I will be feeling fantastic with a clear head tomorrow. Why don't I do this every night? Oh, I also emailed my buddy Chris and told him no booze anymore. Instead I said we could go to the driving range and pound golf balls.

Craze,
Feeling well is a huge benefit of sobriety to me. Here I am, 7am, fresh, no headache, ready to conquer the world. Despite loving this feeling, that alcohol will be calling for me tonight. I've already planned to go to the gym with my wife about 630pm which will get me through safe. How are the rest of you feeling?
