#72. My new normal…coffee and forum reading. Wife and I being civil - that’s great! 31 years of ups and downs can take a toll on each other. I do enjoy the quiet mornings, just not a fan of waking up early for no reason.

50.48 Days… And shocker, another crazy busy day ahead. I’m grateful for it. My energy is up and I’m feeling good. At some point last week I think a little spot of why can’t I be a social drinker hit the old noggin, so I recognize that as a precursor, so I’m sharing it. I need to recognize the signs wayyyyyy early. I will no longer keep those little not so innocent thoughts to myself, because they grow and then I end up manipulating my own damn self into drinking which is nuts! I love being sober. I’m so happy, I smile all the time, there’s purpose in my life. No more devil juice!
ED 2.56 days. Dayum! Almost lost my shit yesterday. I came extremely close. I’m reading this CBT book that has all these wonderful reviews, but the typos are ridiculous. Why has no none noticed or mentioned this in any review? However, I’m trying to focus on the content which has been helpful. ODAT I can do this!!

Checking in 62.07 days. My 14yo is struggling which means I’m struggling. I wish I could take her troubles away. But I can’t. I hate leaving her home to go to work but I really don’t have a choice today. Some days are harder than others and I think this is going to be one of those days.

Checking in on day 4. Every day feels a little bit better, but with a little bit better comes higher expectations for myself. When I am feeling horrible my only expectation is to make it through the day, but when I am back on track, I feel like I should be able to do it all and then some. I’m trying to lower this expectation to a reasonable level, but I’m just not completely sure how to do that???.. Anyway, today is good day, alcohol free.

Day 55…Typing up all of my 4th step inventory today so I can review it all.
Now I understand why they call it “working the steps” because it’s a lot of reading, writing, and reviewing.

My anxiety is subsiding a little bit. But Its be replaced by a numbness caused by thinking about what I’m going to have to do to make this happen.
I’m not really worried, its just a lot of changes are going to happen and I’m running those through my head.
To make this happen there are going to be a lot of situations I’ll need to wrap my head around. I know you’re not supposed to think about that, but its going to be a big deal and it’ll be happening often for a while. My track record for self control is not good. So I think I’m just attempting to prepare myself.
This is the first time I’ve actually taken multiple steps to prepare and keeping what I want to do in mind longer than a few days.
The weekend will be the kicker. That’ll be the first barrier that will let me know how this will go. I feel like I’m just running into the weekend preparing for a battle.
I’m sandwiched between last weekends left over anxiety and a coming anxiety. I’m just a little numb.

Day 18. Yesterday was pretty rough. I wanted a drink after work but skated on by the brewery. Temptation driving home. I did not cave. Had a delivery of wine at the door ( i cancelled the club but they couldnt stop the last shipment) Put it out of sight and didnt touch it after My wife was having a melt down. Comforted her. Then dinner time and I was gonna make salmon. Then got yelled at in the kitchen for some stupid reason. I guess that is how she is handling all this pressure but man I wanted to give up. Still i hung on… But im feeling weak. Don’t know how much longer I am gonna be able to keep this up. …
