Howdy again Lin, Trish, Dotster and Chy!!
I am fine just kinda grumpy. Work is overloading my brain and time as well. Unfortunately, the thing with my kind of career is that you cannot just leave it at the office. Other than that, I am fine. I find that not drinking clears the eyes and mind but also allows you to see problems that were overlooked during the continual drunken stupor. I have not dealt with all of those yet as I have not yet figured out how. I am willing to bet it is a pretty common thing among us but I have to find my own solutions. Anyway, hope everyone is well and take care of yourselves. Until we talk again....
Hugs and Best Wishes for All,
Roy

Hi Roy,


So Glad you are staying sober. i remember when it was day 1 for you. you have come so far. I found when I lost count of the days and had to look at a calander, then it became the normal to be sober instead of the other way around. The fog lifts and you are right everything gets clearer.the good and not so good, but AT least we are dealing with it with a clearer head. Take it slow. A good friend said not to do anything life changing for at least a year. its so nice to see people you have come to be friends with move through this together. Stay strong friend.
Love,
Lin

Hiya Lin,
Well, some days are good and some are not so good. I try to remain constant and deal with each one the same but it never works out that way. The last few days I have been thinking about a drink and it has made things tough fighting it off. I feel boring and rather depressive sometimes and have no idea or reason why. I have every reason in the world to be happy right now..Great wife and daughter, house, cars, money, fantastic job, etc etc but still find myself under a deep black cloud some days. I am not sure if it is the recovery thing or what but it is times like that when I think..aw what the hell am I trying to be so good for anyway? I mean, I work hard and provide well for my family so dont I deserve to do something I want to do....yada yada yada. I realize this is an attempt to justify giving in to the addiction and fight it off the best that I can but sometimes it takes all that I have and I find few reasons to continue the battle. The good news is that I have been sober since feb 21 and have not touched a drink. I guess the little monkey (big ape) is resorting to a whisper rather than a thump on the head to get his way..and sometimes I hear him. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and talk to you soon.
Peace,
Roy

Roy!!!!! Its good to see you postin!!!! We missed you! :skippy:

Chy

I'm glad your checking in Roy. Now try to shake that drinkin thinkin off! I know many suffer post-sobreity depression. It's very normal. Try your best to keep busy. Do stuff you haven't done in eons. If it get's to bad, you may need to see a doc. I'm not sure if you have a means of support, but now would be a good time to reach out to them if you do. *hugs*

Thanks Chy and Mir,
Right now is just strange. I feel as though I am seeing life through a strangers eyes and nearly everything irritates me. I am pretty sure it is because I am white-knuckling it right now which tends to make us cranky anyway. I have not slipped or anything and have been fine until lately. I try very hard to keep the positive attitude and sense of humor that you all know of by now but man, some days!!! There is nothing in specific that is getting to me except boredom and the constant thoughts of something that I know I do not want to do. I have always been a he%%raiser of sorts so boredom or routine gives me unclear and unclean thoughts like getting plowed just for the simple he%% of it. I fight it off but feel very boring and mundane. I know that I am not but am really sick of the routine right now. I will figure it out but thanks for being there!!! I hope everyone is hanging in there as I realize how hard it really is for all of us.
Peace,
Roy
