Hello May group,
Congrats on everyone's sober time. I wanted to make a pledge to stay sober this month since it's the first. I'm enjoying the journey a lot and have 485 days since my last drink. Even still, little thoughts creep in like 5 minutes ago when I dreamt for a minute about celebrating Cinco de mayo with margaritas. The thought was dismissed quickly but it's still surprising that it popped up in the first place. I want to make sure I'm staying on track and not letting alcohol sneak up on me.

Happy May 1st everyone. I also love May. It’s a gorgeous month.
Once I fell asleep, I slept HARD last night. The kind of sleep where you wake up and don’t know what time or what day it is. Glad to wake up to a sober morning. Ready to grab my coffee and get the work day started!

In for May with all of you too!
Day #79
The thought of drinking is a lot less but not gone. I still have to remain vigilant. 79 days sober feels great; so many improvements in my life in such a short time. But, for someone (me) that drank heavily every day for 27 years, 79 days doesn't give me the go ahead and "drink in moderation."

Count me in May Kings and Queens!! Day 19 done for me. Was quite productive in work and then this evening I journaled. Trying to get some of my resentment towards my ex out. I pretended I was writing a letter to him.First off with all the emotion in and then editing it to deal with facts only. Helps me reframe things. Although I imagine I’ll have to do the same things next week etc.
Be careful with these thoughts. That "drink in moderation" thought that AV gives you is actually its way of getting you to drink the first drink. If you drank every day for 27 years one drink will put you right back at day zero and starting all over. No alcoholic can drink in moderation.
