You’re doing beyond great, H&S.

From what I’ve noticed in the past, your most deadly trigger for benders has been drowning your sorrows when bad things happened.

From the very beginning this time you’ve had bad things happen one after another, yet you have resisted picking up and have reasoned things out sober and clearheaded.

As I said, you’re doing beyond great!

Thank you guys 😥Support means a lot for me right now. As to be expected I don't feel great about myself right now. I am kind of paralize don't know what to do well I know but I am just stung like what have just happened how did you go for wanting and asking for a promotion to a final warning and being for sure fire in 1.5 months.

I need to start looking for a job and from where I am it look like 2018 it's going to suck for me. I can't afford to drink it would blow everything out and I won't be able to cope.

You are right. None of us can afford a drink. That is a fact, HAS.

Hi, weekenders!

I've had a long day at the office.

No "real snakes" there)

Then rushed to my boxing workout. It was a light one today.

Now a few minutes for journaling and I am so ready for bed)

HealthyandSober - Congrats on 22 days!

LiveLikeGold - Welcome to weekenders! There is absolutely no guilt and shame in being not like everybody else, even if it is related to not being able to drink "normally". It just takes time to adjust to new reality and build a new system of believes, routines, habits.

Have a great day/night, weekenders.

See you)

Healthyandsober - it may look like it is going to suck from where you are now. If you take action every day, you will move be in a different place which can provide another perspective. One action at a time.

Morning/night, weekenders!

I've slept in) Upside or downside working partially from home. Let it be an upside though.

It's raining-snowing outside. Totally indoors weather.

Time for more coffee.

See you)

Lol, good one Bix, not one of us can afford a drink. I can attest to this

Still accepting that I can't drink anymore, Day 5 down, there's so much to do but without alcohol in my way it will get done in due time!
