Wrapping up day 14. Been a trying week for a number of reasons but I’m proud to have made it back to this modest milestone. Going to hit the pillow sober and that’s the most important thing right now. I’m committed to 24 more.
Have a great rest of your day all!

I’m pledging for 24 more with you all. I won’t be picking up that first drink today. Hope you all have a great day!

Congrats BassetDog and Alessandra on you sober days. I'm on day 46. Couldn't be more thankful for not picking up a drink.
Now, since I'm starting to learn my deeper triggers, aspects of my life are revealing them to me with more clarity. I'm also gaining awareness of what are my issues and what are other people's issues and who and what I'm going tolerate. When I was perpetually drunk and hungover, all I was mired in self-loathing and self-blame. I had zero self-confidence. This state of being made me a magnet for mistreatment by some. I'm not getting sober and staying sober to tolerate abuse. It's just not happening. Sobriety is about self-empowerment too.
Onto to our next 24 hours sober!

Onwards listae!
Standing tall. Proud of ourselves.
I just stood up for myself again. Ten minutes ago
Usually I’d just concede so as not to cause argument. Stood my ground, and there was no argument.
I handled it because I’m sober, and I learn things here that has me know I am not alone.
Thank you all.

My quote from early Mar, "In for another weekend! Lots of pre-travel and other stressors yesterday. My wife and I are heading to NZ and Oz on Wednesday for two weeks. First time there. Had to get the NZ and Oz visas in order..." I made it through my trip to Aus and NZ. What a great time. We went out to an "Irish" bar in Sydney on Paddy's day for our 40th anniversary. It was interesting to people watch. I saw bits of my previous life in many people. Glad I'm where I am now.
It was a bit strange going from fall to spring in a short time. This would be one of the times I'd like to have had a "transporter" (a-la Star Trek). 35 hours there and 40+ hours back total travel time...
Be well all. N2C

I had to see my probation officer yesterday and for whatever reason my AV came on very strong Wednesday night and I folded. Feel so weak and stupid. I told him I drank the day before but he could smell it anyway so it's good I was upfront. Starting the 90 in 90 again today. He encouraged me to connect with Merchants Quay which I did yesterday. They want me to ring again Tuesday when some lady isn't on annual leave. Maybe they can help. I feel so angry at myself. I lost my debit card but there's no money on it anyway. Today is day 2. I hate making these relapse posts.
