I was p!ssed off by dk's sh!tty attitude/behavior tonight. AFter bringing her hateful ass home I drove by the 'bottle shop' on the way home. For about five seconds I had the urge to get a bottle of wine... but it passed and I'm glad I'm getting smarter in my recovery.;) Not to mention a lightning-quick runthrough of all the negatives of drinking killed that craving double quick.:)

How many of the Dec ppl do we still have???
I am at 71 days...bring on the 90 days!! shame we dont have coins until 1yr here...

82 days today!!

I'm here... day 62

Hi everyone! I'm so proud of all of you!

I'm still here and still sober! 85 days. I've had a prolonged illness (nothing serious). You know something? There isn't much difference between when I am sick than when I am drinking. It's absolute lunacy to put myself through that again.

I have mild cravings but only if I see someone else drinking. DH has stopped buying alcohol and hasn't had a drink since the beginning of January. I'm sure he'll drink again but he can stop at 1. This has really made a big difference for me. Alcohol is starting to disappear from my radar. I hardly think about it anymore. Now, my focus is on not getting so comfortable in my sobriety that I forget I have a problem.

Glad you're back and feeling better, Seeker :)

Being sober eliminates so much pain.:c029:

So true Least! Physical, mental, financial... sobriety has alleviated so much pain.
Still here... still picking up the pieces!

Tonight I'm having the worst cravings I've experienced since quitting in mid december. Just found out I did not get the job I was in the running for... hoping another door opens soon. This is the first real blow I've had to deal with sober- seriously considered running to the store when I read the rejection letter; but I know I'm not going to do that.
Gotta keep on keepin' on.

well done blacksong for promtly dealing with your cravings...i hope some suitable work comes along for ya :You_Rock_

i just passed the 3 month sober period (plus 4days ;) ) !!!

feeling much better again after last weeks challenges...just staying strong and proactivley dealing with the cravings...tik tok :)

87 days today! Next Monday will be three months!:)

Good for you, blackbirdsing! A big win for you!
Congratulations ND!

90 days! All thanks to SR. :c031:

Today, I took a mug of hot tea outside and watched the kids play. In the past, I would go outside with mug full of alcohol so everyone would think I was drinking tea. I don't miss those days. It's very freeing not having to be deceptive.

89 days today!! Tomorrow is three months! Yippee!

wow!! look at us go!
thanks everyone, you guys help keep me strong and accountable.
seeker- thanks for sharing!! i had a similar day, and actually had coffee in my mug where there used to be wine. gardening today (well, clearing beds anyway) is sooooo much better while clearheaded. my daughter and i (+ the dog and cat)had a picnic in the sunshine, i'm so excited for a healthy spring!
cravings have been intense lately, i do think there is a correlation between the cravings and me just simply beginning to forget how truly horrible it all was.
so exciting that so many of us are coming up on the 90 day mark, i'll have to do some counting, i've sorta lost track...
xoxo my best to you all
