So this makes it 3 months in a row i failed

Working on day four. Nice to get a little bit better sleep last night. Don't feel great, but slowly improving
Sorry about your slip raidersfan. Start fresh again, you (we) can all do this. Wishing everyone a happy sober day.

Heading out to the air show today - an event where I've always had a drink in hand. So today will be a bit of a test for me. Feeling quite confident but absolutely on guard too. Let's all enjoy this day sober, wake up tomorrow happy and hangover-free and deal with the rest of tomorrow when it comes!

Hi all. Day 10. I'm wanting beer this afternoon, this is the stones craving since day 2 or so. I just made a big salado I'm hoping I'm just mostly hungry. I don't want to go through the last week over again. So I'm going to be strong this afternoon. I'll get some ice cream here in a bit too.

Hey all
Day 8 almost done. I had a decent weekend, lots of triggers with visiting family and train travel but beat them all.
I am preparing myself for big mental work this coming week. I am at work with the physical withdrawal behind me so I just know the AV will be at work. I plan to stay strong with AA meetings each evening and SR help.
For now, I am grateful to be relaxing at home with the wind and rain blowing around outside with a nice British cup of tea !
Hope everyone else had a good weekend

Well that's it I made it through my 1st weekend sober without to much drama, however it's next weekend I'm worried about a big day out with friends, still not 100% sure I will be able to resit drinking just for the sake of not having to explain to people why I'm not??

Hey Guys
Day 11 starting here in Australia.
I'm doing ok, not going to drink just a bit flat. Pretty pissed off with it all. I've always been angry with myself for drinking, now I'm angry that I can't and others can. I feel like a toddler stamping her feet and saying its not fair. All the adds on telly showing people enjoying a few social drinks are irking the sh*t out of me.
Oh well

I had a few major chances to drink this weekend and I fought the cravings and came out on top thank God !!!!

Love and hugs always,

Wow. Lots to read after a weekend away. Great job to everyone who stayed sober and to those who didn't, Today is another day for a new beginning.
I had a few slight cravings but overall I feel so strong. I feel like a switch flipped in my brain and I will never allow alcohol to rob be again. There is such satisfaction in waking without a hangover, remembering my conversations from last night and feeling proud rather than ashamed. I love remembering my dreams!! Just a great reminder that my brain is healing.
Love and strength to everyone!!

Hey all. Day 5 here. Yesterday was rough. Having family issues, relationship problems, $ problems. Life . Use to just try to drink them away. Having a hard time coping with them like a normal person does. Its going to require some new skills, to say the least.
