Gotta start somewhere.

Welcome, I hope this group gets more members.

Day one for me. I'm so sick of feeling so gross.

LovesToTravel

Update. I went to the hayride. It was fun. I did notice that less people were drinking than I usually thought. There was the group that was loud and stupid but the rest of the people were not drinking or only a little. It was rather nice not drinking. Nobody said anything about my drinking only water and coffee. Had a bonfire and that was nice also. My husband actually found a almost full bottle of rum and when he showed it to me all I said was that it was too bad I was drinking. He had some and nothing else was said.
15 days and counting.....

Good for you, LovesToTravel! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the hayride!
Fall's the best, isn't it?

Hi October friends -- no trouble keeping sober today, just a really really bad day at work. I thought I was going to lose my job after a talk with my boss. It's all about making money and since I have been out of the workforce so long taking care of my children, I have a bit a of a learning curve getting back up to speed. Life is tough sometimes.... I know drinking would only make things worse. Take care everyone!

Welcome meeshoo! Glad you are here.

Day 4; just found this group. I like to check in so I don't feel so alone and, at moments, overwhelmed by the thought of what I'm doing. Another good nights sleep - am less anxious as well & more cheeful. 2 good things for the body and soul.G'day to all.

Welcome Meeshoo, Mirage, DJ and Watson. YAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

October is a fantastic month, I agree. I'm thrilled to be a part of this group and for once, make my sobriety date a lasting one.

I had a bad day yesterday, but today is a new day.

Have a great one, everyone!

Hi all, I'd like to be in the group, today is day 8!!. Sleeping was tough last week but had the best nights sleep last night that I've had in a long long time, 9 hours of blissful sleep. Been at the gym most every day since I quit, feeling great.

Heyooo!

Wow! 2 years Vegibean, big congrats!!! I'm on day 5 and the days aren't exactly snowballing yet, thoroughly enjoying the clear and guilt free head in the morning-something I hope to see a lot more of.

Hello to all fellow newbies and olbies!

Day 4 - and a tough one. Stress at work and a knee-jerk reaction to wrap up the day with some wine. Avoided it but it spooked me on how going ahead I won't always be this way. Always yearning. Also discovered that I'm mean and impatient with hubby without drinking as I was with. I don't think its because he's sitting there drinking his beer ?? My meanness to my husband bothers me. I get so irritated with him. Am I just a perimenopausal cow? Ugh. A dose of self loathing. Knowing that I'mon a business trip the next 2 days and hubby is coming along - and I'll have urges, stress..and innate meanness apparently. Sorry to blab on. Will drink some tea, read a book and hope for some better mood in the a.m. Nite

Off to another meeting.

traderjane

Got through Day 7 (one week of sobriety ---- YEAH!!!) and my 3rd AA meeting. The meetings are all so different from each other!

I'm happy to see new people joining in here. I'm doing well, not regretting my decision for one minute. Good night!!!

traderjane

One thing that I am still experiencing: I wake up everyone morning a bit panicky thinking: "What did I do last night? Did I drink?" My heart is racing for a bit until I realize... no, I did not drink. I didn't do anything stupid or regrettable. It's okay.

I wonder how long this will go on for?

Maggot4Life

Day 02 for me and going strong, last night was rough but waking up sober is the best feeling

serenelife

Today is my first day of sobriety (10-21). I am looking forward to a new beginning to my life. I wish everyone the best.

soberfash

Trader Jane, I had the same bizarre feelings, waking up with the fear that I had slipped the night before, hasn't happened in the past few days, but it was a very weird feeling.
