Just got off work and going to the AA meeting later on. Feeling very good on my new meds, and I got something to help me sleep and last night I had the longest sleep I have had in what has felt like months. Today I came home, made some lunch, checked mail, paid some bills, and about to put some laundry in. I feel so much better and I cannot believe just being honest with my doctors and being consistent with taking my meds helps me so much. I'm so happy to have SR as a resource and a group to keep me honest and I always think of you all when I have a craving. Tonight I have no desire to go out, and the weekends are my relapse time. But not anymore. Tonight I am going to watch a movie or read a good back then take my long walk like I did last night, then get to bed early.

I feel so much better!!

So, so happy to see such a positive post from you, Ach

When you wake up tomorrow, you'll be on day 7. Yay!!!!

Glad the new meds are working out for you. Sometimes all it takes is a little trial and error to get the right kind/dose.

Enjoy your meeting tonight! Maybe if you're feeling up to it, hang around for a bit after. Just introduce yourself. Say you're new and need some numbers. People will know what to do and you'll soon have a phone full of real people to call if you start heading towards relapse.

Going to read some and get in bed early. Feeling the craving and wondering why I always want to go out on the weekends, but I never end up having fun, I just get too drunk to remember anything. Going to just do work this weekend.

Hungry so going to treat myself. Going to an early meeting tomorrow. There is a pumpkin fest beer thing close to my place. Stupid beer.

Cravings really hitting me right before I go to sleep. I wish I could recall, with clarity, the horrible feelings I struggled with last weekend. Being here alone is difficult, but it is better than going out and blacking out then getting arrested or fighting some person. I need to write down my horrible experiences from last weekend and the loads more before that. Alcohol ruined so much in my life, everything that meant anything to me is gone so now I have to start all over and I am behind my peers, but I will catch up dagnabbit.
