Posting for the sake of posting
I don't feel like doing SR tonight. I'm tired and have been cranky and scattered all day. This is one of those days when I would have definitely 100% gotten drunk before. But now I can't, so I'm even more irritated. I'm posting because I decided to post something every day as part of my recovery plan so I can't isolate, but I'm so not into it. I'd much rather turn off my computer and drink. So here I am, investing in my future I guess. Having faith that I will thank myself later.

Briar, you should sign in to the "24-hour Recovery Connections" thread. Join seventy other members who come here every night, and take a few minutes to commit to sobriety for the next 24 hours.

Hi, Briar,
Good for you for recognizing the potential triggers and taking action by coming here.
The tougher days get fewer and farther between. They really do.
Did you join your SR "class"? Highly recommend it. The camaraderie and support you can give and receive from those in the same place is valuable.

Good job Briar...often is good to do what we don't wanna cuz we said we would. I think that's...discipline. Not sure...cuz I struggle with that one myself 
(Hey LTV...did you read that load of books with a glass of wine in hand like I did? I find self help a bit like anti depressants...they don't work when you're drinking. Information is not transformation...without application. All that self help was up there with all the grand dreams and schemes I planned and yammered about half in the bag)

Well done Briar! There must be something in the water because there have been some definite moments the past few days when I am not digging sobriety. I am sober and happy to be sober but man this is tough. I know it's just a rough patch. I am posting here every day as well. We can do this.
