Got to keep us up front and active here! I am feeling a bit better, but have a bug. scratchy throat and had tummy trouble all day. But just had some chicken soup and I think tummy is ok. My so has an important appointment tomorrow to hopefully have his cast removed. I hope I am well enough to bring him. If not, I think my husband can work from home. He sometimes does anyway.

But, sometimes I am grateful for a bit of a bug that ruins my appetite, as it makes it easy to not drink! Sad but true. Kick starts a solid week and gets me on a roll. It has happened for me at least once before. This time I hope to keep it going and going...

Lol Dee, I like to share!

Phoebe, I had a gastro bug several weeks ago and was pleased I couldn't drink. That was the first epiphany that I needed to get back to being sober.

I'm having trouble sleeping and toying with the idea of going into work 2 hours early or just trying to rest a bit more

Hi class, Id like to join too even though I've been a member of too many classes in the past and had far too many day ones! I made it to over 100 days, was feeling great physically and mentally even though my AV had started chattering away at me recently and then went away on holiday and just blew it!! Complete madness as I knew what was going to happen! Ive ended up bingeing on and off over the last three weeks so am back to day three again and suffering while beating myself up with a great big stick! I know what is going to happen, how awful the withdrawal is but yet it just didn't stop me! So starting over again so hello to all my November class mates X

Good morning all. This will be day 3 for me. Always a hump day, or a fail day, either way. I will hope it is a hump, and get to day 4 and a full week, which will be an achievement for me this go round. Short term goals.

Kids home today, we have an election in the States, so I will vote for our Governor and some other people and issues. I love voting! And I hope my son will get his cast off. The novelty has long since worn off. It was not a serious fracture, TG, but he cracked a bone in his wrist. At first, once he had it all set, he was rather giddy. A cast is sort of a cool thing at 10yo, and he was very popular as everyone lined up to write on it, lol. But, yeah, 4 weeks in, not so fun anymore.

Our group seems small so far. I hope that means lots of sober successes out there.

Welcome Peace, I have been in a few too many groups too. Let's make this our last one. I feel so close, and come so close, yet never quite make it. My life is loads better than 4 years ago, but I need to really make the final leap and be free of this. Cycling in and out of relapses is depressing.

Hi all! Phoebe, I am tired of cycling in and out too. It's demoralizing and also, tricks me into thinking I can moderate. I can't. I know this. Every time I drink, it slowly but surely edges out all the things that matter. Let's try to stay strong together.

Day 7 for me x

Ms Marie

I'm not sure I can join because this will be day 1 for me.

Hi Phoebe, hope your little boys arm heals soon and he gets the cast off, 4 weeks is ages for kids and their Mum
I know what you mean about coming close, everytime I get some sobriety under my belt I think (and hope) that this time it has stuck and Ill not relapse so every time I do it is very disheartening. Guess the main thing is to never give up and keep trying

Day 2 for me.

I had a really stressful and emotional contact from someone I love very much. 3 days ago I would have downed a bottle of wine and some cans of lager to 'help with the pain'. I haven't and I will not be to have somewhere to tell someone!

Hi Marie, yep this is the place to join if you are becoming sober/clean in November X

Hi Ruddie, well done for not drinking, it's very hard but we all know it makes everything worse X

Ms Marie

Thank you Peacehappyness. Im grateful I found this group.

Day 2 for me. I will join this group. Thank you.

Hello everyone. Day 3 for me and not a craving in sight. My problems typically occur around the weekends though. It is very "normal" for me to never drink a drop during the work week and then binge over the weekend to the point of paralysis. I finally feel normal again after a 2.5 day hangover. Looking forward to another sober day.

Hi Ms Marie and LimaBean

Day 4. So far so good. Sleeping decent and laying down early to read SR if any hint of craving starts to creep in.

Rooting for you all! Have a great day!

Kraszy

My Day 1 was technically 10/27 but I'd be quite happy to join you all if you'll have me. On Day 9 today. Feeling great so far, tons of energy, had a sleepless night or two, but overall so far so good.

Back to day one so I'd like to join this class please. Maybe this time I'll actually ask for help on here before I decide to take that first drink.
