That’s perfect.
I’ve just been telling people “because it causes brain damage and I can’t afford to get any dumber”
I like your approach better.

Checking in on day 77…ive gotten to the point where I have to actually check what # day it is, which means my sober date is becoming further and further away which makes me feel very good. I am likely taking a job offer today, which puts me back in the driver seat and allows me to move into my own apartment and get out of this very toxic and triggering environment that I’m living in now. Today in the Boston area really feels like Fall, which I love because October is my favorite month, and I enjoy everything that comes with the fall especially haunted stuff! It also means the Patriots are back on and dominating the NFL

Congratulations @anon44659383
That’s a huge step toward bettering yourself.
Your story makes me think about why we drink.
Your continued love for your “family”, even after you got sober, tells you something about what matters to you.
I hope you can find that feeling again with a different group of people. (in a healthier, sober setting)

Day 10. Woot woot I’m feeling pretty good. Anxiety is not bad at all now. I stopped in at my liquor store to let him know I’m alive. He assumed i went on a vacation lol. Kids are realy loving the new me. Some friends think it’s a phase I’m pretty determined to not drink. So know phase here.

Today was a intense day.
I had to go all the way to Amsterdam for the intake process. If I wanted to do that in my own city I had to wait for 6 weeks… This was no option for me, and I am glad I went all the way to Amsterdam.
I was a long day with intense and emotional conversations for about 5 hours.
But I did well I think 
I have to wait a few more weeks before we can start with the treatment, don’t now how long exactly , can be 2 weeks can be 6 weeks.
They also advised me to start with joining there meetings as soon as possible
so that’s what I am going to do 
They have meetings in the morning so for me that’s perfect so I can go before I start work. So no excuses anymore.
I am really tiered right now, so early bedtime for me 
Thanks for all the supported I received today!

Aaarggh! Thank you. Yes, the emotions were a bit all over the place, (as ending the marriage was not my decision) but SO much easier to experience sober. There is definitely a sense of completion, which is pretty nice
