Checking in
It's been awhile since I posted and I didn't want anyone to wonder/worry so I'm just checking in. Still here, still sober. I think I'm on day 40 or something but I've stopped counting. I know I'll hit 60 days on October 1st.
Have had a couple of stressful days where I've felt a desire to drink but it has quickly passed. Got invited to go out dancing with friends last night and turned that down, I think that was the smart thing to do.
My main issue has been my anxiety, which is like a constant companion. I've been trying to meditate and go for walks. I was jogging but started having heart palpitations so I quit that. I have a Dr. appointment on Monday to address that. I've always had these palps but they were mild, only every once in awhile. It seems since I've quite drinking I get them nearly every day, several times a day. It's very concerning. Has anyone else had these? It feels like your heart skips a beat.
Anyway, my main concern at this point it just dealing with the anxiety and rebuilding my health. Drinking got me to this point and I can't imagine ever going back, it would never be worth it.

Excellent work CB77. I too have anxiety, and I've developed a very serious meditation practice that has truly helped. Twice a day for 20 minutes, no matter what. I've put it ahead of everything else besides eating, sleeping and dressing ha. It's made all the difference in the world.
