thank you Lisa so appreciated, just woke up this morning more positive and grateful as ever for this forum. Do feel I have learnt a little something and just to be more self aware for the coming days. Hope you going ok? The world is on its head at the moment.

totally get that, did not go mental but drank very quietly and secretly for 3 days, until I felt sick in the mind and ready for the fight. Perfect way of explaining it.
You keep strong and sober my friend so proud of you

Checking in at 6.65 days. A little on edge, my sister had a breast biopsy last week and we don’t have the results yet. She’s my little sister by a year. I have a feeling she’s fine, but you just want to know. Patience isn’t my thing or hers.
It’s starting to feel more and more quiet the longer I’m alone. The move has me busy as I’m going overboard cleaning this place. I mean what else am I going to do. Work is obviously slow, but I am spending some time educating myself, so that’s good. Just so quiet.

Four days! Yesterday was so hard. I posted about my problems here, and it helped clarify that staying sober when making hard choices was going to be something I’d have to fight for. Usually there is no fight or thinking involved— just numb the pain, don’t think about it. But now that I can think clearly, I could feel all my feelings more acutely. I admit it didn’t exactly feel as pleasant as numbing them, but I knew this was progress. If I’m going to be sober then I can’t drink my way out of uncomfortable feelings anymore, which means I have to fully experience them. Scary, but I won’t die— I could if I continued my old lifestyle. So today I have a lot of work to do and there will be a lot of pressure. My goal will be to stay positive about my work and focus on improving myself— what everyone else demands or expects of me is secondary. I have everything I need.

This is my longest stretch ever!
I know it’s said a lot here but you all are the biggest reason why; I am so grateful for you guys. I am with you more than anyone even before the lockdown.
I have been thinking about what is said between abstaining and recovery. I may tiptoe into that area soon. I always thought I don’t have anything to look into (my life) that bothers me or got me here in the first place, but I think I’ve been feeling it lately.
So hugs to you all!!
