Happy to be sober. Thank you

I have grown to love you all. Thank you everyone. Just wanted to say I’m proud of myself for not drinking through this 5 days of chaos I’ve had and you all played a big role. Also I’m still so sick. Worst cold ever

Ah, AJ, I hope you feel better. And, yes, the weather and the holidays have caused chaos for many. I'm so glad you got through it.

Sorry you are so sick AJ. Good to see you check in though. You sound perhaps more appreciative of your sober time, or maybe those bad emotions and memories are fading.

Hi AJ, I hope you're feeling better soon.
I caught a weird flu after a day trip up to Toronto a few weeks ago.
I had the chills super bad, just freezing even though I cranked up the heat and wore flannel pj's and socks.
. I would be soaked head to toe by midnight from sweating and have to change into dry stuff.
Sick for a good week, I finally took temp and it was 103.2 F.
Took flannel top off and just wore tee shirt and took ibuprofen. Temp finally went down.
Anyway the bright side is that I didn't really want to drink during this and I got thru the usually hellish cravings of day 3 and 4 like you just did!
Great work on 5 days,
Stick with it,
it's mostly a headgame now.

A word to the wise; Don't be adding vodka to your orange juice. Get well soon.
