Day 7 Today

I'm in the middle of a cross country move, my life is in chaos but I'm sober! Flew across the country last night, was super tired and jet lagged. My AV saw an opening and started saying, "a bottle of wine will help you relax", but I stopped, scrolled forward and called bull***t on my AV. I got a hotel room and fell on to the bed...what a feeling of relief! Biting off small pieces of the elephant today, new apartment and getting my awesome dog shipped out. Trying to keep it simple. Hitting a meeting in my new town tonight.

Great job on playing the tape forward and not obeying the AV. Hope your dog makes the trip over safely!

Every decision has its outcome. You made the right choice!

Stay strong SD, doing all of this sober will be a great accomplishment. I used to tackle problems by drinking, now I tackle them sober and they actually get resolved.

7 days is great. i'm finding the AV shuts up after about 20 minutes if you ignore him
