Wandered off, but now I'm back
Day 1 for me again, so came here to write it down...
get the poison out and re nourish the body.
once again wasn't worth it. It didn't give me much now can very easily consume more poison.
There isn't much sense in it. I reckon I have drank all the fun out of it anyway

Finishing day 2 again. Looking through my last 5 years and I can’t even count how many times I had a week, 2 weeks, or more and then said oh what the hell. 18 months ago I had almost 2 months. Everything was great and I let my guard down. Just have to work harder this time s can’t continue for me.
It’s crazy and frustrating.

Hi Finalcall. I'm so glad you came back & are ready to get healthy again.
I couldn't agree more - it's never going to be worth it. The fun it once was is gone & never coming back. We crossed the line from social to alcoholic drinking.
Congratulations on your Day 1.
Khorhey - 2 days sober - that's wonderful.

day 16 here and feeling great. I just had the best night of the sleep I've had in two weeks. I only woke up once for 30 mins and went back to sleep.
also feels great to have energy and eating well again. I went out to lunch with some friends yesterday that I hadn't seen in a long time. They noticed that I had lost some weight especially in the face. I looked through some pics via FB and you can most certainly tell when I was drinking heavily and when I wasn't. It was just a reminder of keeping on the program and doing what I'm doing.
I have no idea how it happens, but topics in AA meetings come up at the right and appropriate time for discussion. Yesterday's topic was about sleeping and coping with a messed up cycle. It was certainly something that I could relate to so I had to share in the meeting.

Hey FC,
Least your back on the road bud.
I don't know what;s round the corner for me, but as you say it ain't fun anymore.
That's what I found walking to the shop, 8am in the morning, soaked in the rain with my shoe laces undone cos I couldn't tie them due to shaking so much. I'd Get back home with tears in my eyes. Tell me where the fun in that is.?
As I've said in previous posts, it's the devil. Nothing but misery. Hell on earth
Keep going mate, you'll make it!

I didn't know what a sober life was going to look like. I knew what a drinking and druggin life looked like. It was all I knew and it wasn't going well.
I understood that many things were out of my control and I prepared to deal with things as they came.
What we can control is not picking up today. Especially in the early days we need to realize cravings blow over much more quickly then the consequences of a drink.
