Day 19

Still sober. Wife has the flu, ugh. Very very stressed out right now. Had terrible anxiety last night and didn't sleep a wink.

You're okay, totally to be expected and it will pass. Good job not drinking, it would make everything worse. Hope you side-step the flu.

I know you liked this the last time...

Box Breathing, the Navy Seal technique

Also, birds....ahhhhh (careful, might annoy a person with flu!)

Thanks folks. I'm just taking care of her and keeping the house doused in Lysol. I'll miss meetings for a couple of days until she's out of the danger zone but I'll make up for it when she's better. I have zero desire to drink so I think I'll be OK. I'll do some big book reading (already 50 pages in) and some 12 & 12 reading. Does anyone have a link to the Daily Reflections?

Dave has posted these on SR daily for a very long time...if you scroll down a ways in that thread you'll find the Daily Reflections.

He hasn't posted Friday's yet, but it will be in the 12 Step forum, here:
https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...-step-support/

Lots of good reading in that forum, including Step discussions.

Yeah I'm truly grateful for sobriety right now. If I was drinking and an emergency came up I'd be useless.

Hope you wife feels better soon. The flu can be utter misery. Stay close here if you can’t get to meetings.

Edit: congratulations on 19 days!
