Technically 3 Weeks :D

I Say Technically cause not sure I will be checking in tomorrow as I work tomorrow night :p So hoping to get as much sleep as possible during the day .. Big day tomorrow; well actually Night .. After work I have 3 days in a row off ... I have been avoiding "thinking" that far ahead an concentrating no the here & now so I can try and gain some focus ..

I have it roughly planned out; to avoid "down time" now just need the motivation to play it out on monday lol Monday -- After work; mow front yard for the last of the season (yay; but tough) That is gonna be rough after working my job .. So as back up I still have several books to read .. Which is alread part of the plan ..

Tuesday is the same thing except back yard & read .. But that is all I have in mind for those days Not sure why I am drawing a blank of things to do "sober" ...

Wednesday is going to be ROUGH .. My Ex's Mom & I are going to breakfast; cause she wants to have a "Heart to Heart"; But not sure I am going .. Mainly for personal reasons which I am not too comfy posting about .. Yea there are few things I still hold back on .. Lordy if my secret identity got out; how could I fight crime

AW

Nope; not gonna happen .. lol I do not like "people" lol crowds and such .. I start to hyper ventilate among other things .. I got issues in that department that I am waiting for all my red tape to clear up so I can start working on them .. Thanx Though ... Besides I am not an AA person anyway; so even if I didn't freak; I seriously doubt I would go ..

It's good that you're thinking about a plan, August. Stay busy and focused on those days off. And I'm three weeks tomorrow too. Woo hoo. Let's go for four!

Good plan! I installed two SSD's in the computer I'm posting from. The WinTest mark is top of the chart.

Yea I got the SSD a bit ago; just haven't had the time\patience to deal .. I know I need to replace a fan as well :p So I will most likely do that .. The sound card was just an extra that came out of a friends PC that recently died and he is happy w\ his new on board .. Ummm Yea Ok lol I like my on board as well But wouldn't mind a decent card in there either

Try and not over think the next few days and take them as they come. I know i can work things up in my mind and make them into a bigger deal than they are. You have done 3 weeks now.The next 3 days you can get through also. Keep yourself as busy as you can. Wishing you the best.

Try and think positively that you will get through Monday the same way you have got through the last 3 weeks. Also try to shut down any doubts that creep into your mind. Your 3 weeks sober is proof that you can do it. That should give you some confidence.

thanx guys; it's not the "cravings" I am worried about as much as how anxious and stuff I get in public in general .. My underlying problem of dealing w\ the whole agoraphobia thing .. Might just take a taxi home to avoid the booze store :p
