Hello Pelagic and Dee. s

My therapist says it's like learning a new language. Best way to learn a new language is completely immerse yourself, even if at first you don't really understand everything 👍👍

Happy Monday everyone,

Back to work (from home) so I’m not here as much during the day. A side benefit to not drinking is I’ve lost 5 pounds (2.3 kgs?) in this time. It makes sense be based on the empty calories I was consuming through alcohell. We are on lock down here in the US through at least April 30th. Things are still escalating here, but luckily in the Southwest nowhere near as much.

God I'm in a bad mood this evening. Got a right cob on, feel like everything is against me. I'm just trying not to bite at anyone else in the house

So be it

See you all tomorrow

Ditto love.....I just reported my landlady to the Ohio Dept of Health for breaking this order. She has contractors going in and out of the shared front door all day. And the noise is horrendous. I am furious. Biting my cheek.

Just thought I would let you know you are not alone.

And we will both get through a crappy day. s xx

Grrrrrr! Sounds like she needed reporting.

Very low mood today, no sugar coating it. But I embrace it as part of the process. I can't wait til therapy on Wednesday morning, feel I need someone to talk to (as well as all you lovely people, natch)

I'm glad you reported her - that's just willful and selfish disregard for others.

I hope there'll be no reprisals.

They aren't going to act on the emails.....just too many of them.
I talked to her. Told her to please take heed.....all of these hands on the doorknob.
She is such a smart lady.....she just does not get this. Sigh.

I have disinfectant and paper towels at the door. We are not touching anything without wiping it down. s

Thank you for caring guys. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx s

Evening willow - morning WL, RAL, Pel, Tink, Otter, BC, Freedom. Hope you are all well.

Another sunny morning. Another day in lockdown. I'm going to make today count for my recovery.

What is everyone's favourite food? Me, I love chimichangas and Mexican food in general. (Ways to pass the time #273 😂😂 )

Please trust me FF - it will get easier

the AV does not stick around forever - it grows fainter and much more easy to defeat - give it time effort and a little patience.

Good morning Be
I just made chicken fajitas for an early dinner. I love Mexican food too

Tink I didn’t sleep at all well last night and had a headache all afternoon from lack of sleep. I think it was the sugar I ate last night too, icecream and chocolate. ...

Freedom the AV has been hassling me too but we have to ignore it, or bash it back into subservience. As Dee said, the longer we resist it and stay sober, the weaker it gets and the fainter it’s voice is.

Anyway, I’m exhausted and off to bed really early, it’s 6.10pm and I can barely keep my eyes open.
Goodnight everyone

Which part of you is thinking that?

Its not the adult, responsible side of you. The adult side knows full well that you won't have four cans. The adult side is sensible and bases decisions on history and reality. It knows that those four cans will throw you back into your addiction.

The AV is just trying to get it's addiction met. It's lying to you

You're right. Even if I did just stick to 4 cans
  • i probably wouldn't enjoy just four
  • I'd have to go to the store in a pandemic when I don't need to
  • That's 6 euros down the drain and every penny counts since I haven't saved up money due to drinking and I need to pay in September
  • 4 cans is over 1100 calories and I need to lose weight
