Almost 30 days and counting...

Almost about to hit the 30 day sober mark but I can't get over the anxiety of it all. Do I want to drink sometimes...weekends especially since that's what I'd normally be doing prior. My wife has been loving it with me not drinking. I see a therapist once a week. He deals with addiction so I'm with the right person.

I've dealt with depression and anxiety for years and I'm on a meds for them to try and slow down my mind. The years of self medication has only gotten me into trouble. DUI's, relationship issues, job issues, financial issues. I'm happy I haven't lost everything and I still have my family and a good paying job. I just want to keep on the track that I've been on for almost a month. I just felt like typing which is why I'm on here tonight.

Wish me luck on my first DUI court date on March 30th. Lawyer says I have a great chance to get off which has opened up my eyes since it's been lingering over my head since last July. I'm just currently staying sober, dealing with work and trying to get a second job.

Also, you guys are all awesome with the support you give!!

Congrats on your near 30

If weekends are tough why not mix your routine up a little?

Dee that's cracking advice. Mix things up so it doesn't feel like the weekend.
