I'll probably be tired because I haven't been able to get to sleep much before 1 or 2AM. But maybe this will also help me get my sleep schedule adjusted. Thinking positive thoughts.

But today I noticed that I remembered 3 people who I was introduced to last Sunday. Crazy.
So here's today's why I'm happy I didn't drink today. " I remembered Erica's name who I've been introduced to 2 other times and couldn't remember her name then - but I do now"
8 days - 9 tomorrow.
Hey Nov post something that's surprised or made you happy today about staying sober

Hi, how is everyone today? I'm feeling really nauseous so going to try some toast and see if that helps. Hoping to get through today and tonight (Friday night!) without a drink, and without pills. It helps to have somewhere to come and talk about it, I don't know why but it just does

hi everyone, and welcome to all the new people. Glad to see you all here, this is a great place for support.
Here's looking forward to a sober weekend.
Though I'm a bit concerned about dealing with cravings tonight and tomorrow. I must come up with a plan to be around my friends who will be drinking. I think I will take my fizzy water with me, that should head off any offers of wine. Have a good day everyone!

So here is friday night and the weekend... ( uk) having a pal over for dinner tonight.. bought her one of those tiny bottles of wine for her to have with her meal... I will be pretty envious I guess but we all know where it takes us and I have so much to lose that I need to view it as pure evil rather than the ' rose tinted' view.. it has afterall just destroyed my 12 yr relationship... Staying committed and happy to be here! Hope everyone has a good weekend, stay strong and keep busy and remind yourself WHY you are here.. no kidding ourselves anymore... :c

welcome R4R
just curious Sarah - why did you buy the wine for your friend?
being polite and thoughtful is one thing, but it sounds almost apologetic to me?
Let ppl buy their own damn poison, I reckon
have a good weekend everyone

Hello everyone, I'd like to join as well. I'm on day 4 right now. I have been trying to get sober for a long time now and have paid some consequences recently. Around February I was an active member on these forums, but I let myself slip and now have been in trouble twice in the last 5 months due to alcohol. Recieved a public intox in May and unfortunately a OWI Monday night...
I just met with my lawyer earlier today and then got into an argument with family, so I am so stressed at this moment. Any encouraging words would be extremely helpful...
Thanks everybody
