Today is day 49.

Spending most of my "free" time this week studying. I'm anxious about not passing the exam on the first attempt, but all I can do is study as much as possible and then do my best. Whatever is meant to be shall be :-).

And today I will not drink.

You're kicking goals ICDB :)

thanks D ☺️

Today is day 50.

Stayed up way too late studying - I'm going to have to work in a nap tonight .. Two more days til my exam and of course I'm slammed at work. Very thankful to be sober and able to tackle this, challenge myself... And hopefully prove to myself that I can do this.

And today I will not drink.

Today is day 51.

Crazy business continues. I've also realized that other than thoughts of posting and checking in here, or thoughts of sobriety in general, I don't really think About it have the urge to drink. I feel confident that I've broken many of the habits I had with drinking on the typical/average day. Since I was predominantly a home drinker there were a slew of those habits and triggers in my daily life.

I also realize I need to remain vigilant about the non-routine occasions. Tomorrow evening I'm getting together with a friend. We may or may not have dinner. Ordinarily especially given my exam tomorrow (and hopefully passing) I'd be amped up to celebrate with a drink or two. I know I won't do that, but I'm wondering if I will confide in my friend my new sober path. I have eluded to quitting casually to a few people but haven't stated the full depth. Part of me wants to tell my friend but I'm also embarrassed to do so. We shall see - I'm not going to stress over it - I'll go with it in the moment.

And today I will not drink.

:hug: Your the best x

Thanks sw☺️

About six hours into day six. Actually still foggy. The other symptoms have stopped. I realize this is it. I don't think I've got another come back that I would manage without some damage. I say fine! If this is what it takes to get my attention I'll take it. So glad to know I can't live that way. I've been talking to AA friends and will get a sponsor even if temporary. Accountability is very key for me. I will isolate otherwise. Thanks for being here everyone!

Congrats to you too Scotty - I think AA is a good thing to pursue :)

I reckon you'll get more feedback with your own thread tho - let me know if you need help with that :)

Today is day 52.

Exam day - I'm ready, nervous but ready. We have a variety of fun things on tap this weekend so I'm looking forward to de-stressing after the chaos of the last three weeks, refocusing on the family part of work life balance as well as getting back to more of my normal workout schedule.

I got this (I hope).

And today I will not drink.

Good luck today, ICDB! I'm crossing my fingers. :)
