Accountability thread - tinkerb
I hope no one minds me doing this, i need to try something new and hoping logging in here everyday will help me to be accountable and track my progress.
Well im through day 1, its been a hard day very sad to be back starting over, and feel exhausted but hopeful that i can beat this.

Another early night at end of day 3, but writing in my sober journal and will read some of the naked mind. The thoughts of a drink have definitely been creeping back in today though i feel more aware that it is just my stupid craving bit of brain and feel more powerful to ignore it, hope i can stay powerful.

Congratulations on day 3 TB. I've just recently stopped too (day 24) and I could only do it by focusing on 24 hours at a time. The first two weeks (with withdrawal symptoms and urges) were the hardest. But, even with just three weeks, it was so worth it ride those first few days out. I feel infinitely better. Hang in there. And post as much as you need and want.

Thanks everyone for the support it really keeps me focused. Thursday can often be a trigger day for me as voice in head says 'nearly the weekend' etc, but made it through and looking forward to day 5 tomorrow.

Well ive made it through day 5 though the cravings were bad a few times also hadn't helped myself by reaching out to an ex of a couple of years back, but having no response. I know it was a silly thing to do as should only be thinking of me, just he was nice and i messed it up probably down to my drinking and wanted to apologise and thought he would be good for me. Anyway never mind he no doubt moved on, at least i have said sorry for mistakes. Looking forward to waking up hangover free for a change on a saturday.
Maybe just work on staying stopped and wait until you are sober to make those decisions to apologize. I know I've said "I'm sorry" way too many times so that "apology" didn't cut it!
Stay stopped, let time have time and then make those serious decisions.
5 days is fantastic, but maybe get a year and five days???
