Day 24 complete, incredibly lazy day spent reading, watching tv and eating. Should’ve got some work done but was enjoying nearly falling asleep on the couch:-)

I hope everyone is doing well.
Lixie I am over the moon for you! Very well done!!

Good morning. Day 6. Dreamed the same dream as last night. My Irish oral exam was in a few days and I wasn't prepared. School was sixteen years ago ffs. Just had my coffee at 130am because lately my dreams just continue when I go back to sleep.

Need to go to AA today. I'll have drinking money tomorrow so need to work on my recovery today. Maybe I'll do NA too since eight days ago I had two drug induced seizures, so I think that qualifies me for NA even though my illegal drug abuse was a long time ago.

I have to go for bloods today, so need to take it easy with the water this morning. I mostly have been. The naltrexone does kinda dampen the joy of drinking lots of water, strangely enough.

My attempts at omelettes typically just end up a pile of ingredients and scrambled eggs, lol. I just sautéed mushroom, added beaten eggs and topped with Swiss cheese. I want another one!

My omelettes pretty much the same CH. I’ll give your recipe a bash. Thanks.

Morning all
FF-maybe you're overthinking what qualifies someone for AA/NA. No one is at the door asking your history and deciding whether you can go in or not. Maybe it's you trying to talk you out of going and working on your recovery.

Sounds a great day Sal and very similar to mine

CH -I love omelettes and use exactly those ingredients too Though my hens were eaten by Mr Fox 3 weeks ago so that was very sad

Hi Steely, Bd, Dee and everyone else

Feeling good today. The last 2 mornings I've woken with a migraine like headache but not realise it was due to staying up late as it was the weekend (no I'm not in my 20s ) Made me realise just how important a good sleep routine is in sobriety. Back to work today. Busy yet only 3 day week. Feeling positive. Hope everyone has a great day x

So long old habits

Day 1. I'm so hungover I didn't go to work today and I have been contemplating calling the ambulance as I keep vomiting blood and what looks like chunks of tripe. I can't even sip water as it induces vomiting. I have tried to quit before but always fall back into old habits due to my friendship group. So today I deleted all my social media and swapped phone numbers and deactivated my old number. I also blocked everyone on my new number then deleted all records of their numbers. I also deactivated my email account. I have contacted AA and will attend my first meeting tomorrow night. My partner is also an alcoholic and he is currently drinking wine while I nurse a bucket in bed

Yesterday I drank 10 750ml bottles of 6.8% beer. I need to stop now!

I am thinking you need some medical attention Sarah. 10 750ml bottles of 6.8 beer would be about like two bottles of whiskey. I would need medical attention if I drank that much in one day.

Unfortunately it's a normal daily amount. All my friends and my partner drink this much too. That's why I know to quit I need to remove those people from my life. My partner is on his 4th bottle of wine for tonight at the moment. Lucky he doesn't drink beer and I can't stand wine so no temptation there.
