When I first started going to that group I was still pretty much homeless so I wore the same clothes for weeks at a time. They still asked me to keep coming back and I was the smelly guy.

Awwww :+1: They do seem like a good group.

Steve was encouraging me to share. Unfortunately, like with drinking, I’m an all-or-nothing person. So, yeah. That happened. :flushed: I can laugh about it as I’ll never meet them :woman_shrugging:t3::joy:

@Bomdhil Day 3 is rough! just passed this couple of days ago and feel much better everyday since… keep it simple and don’t go too hard on yourself on these first days.

@Knox @Cam I’m checking in on day 10 either, how do you feel? Personally, compared to the first 7 days, I have so much more clarity, less mixed feelings, more energy, less anxiety and intrusive thoughts, less obsessions with alcool seeking… It’s been two days I feel calm, it’s even weird, I can’t remember last time I felt so calm. I am still concern and worry for the futur, but that’s a big part of what’s happening in the world and my country too.

Grateful today for: …clarity. Or at least the clearness of the cloudiness.
Good day guys!

That’s a lot of what I feel too! It feels nice not to crave, I mean I still have that voice inside my head of course but it’s been a long time since I either didn’t feel like I wanted to touch that bottle in my fridge or felt awful that I didn’t have any, and tried to wrestle with myself not to go to the supermarket. I’m going tomorrow and well we’ll see when I pass the aisle but I have a feeling I won’t.
Is it the honeymoon phase?? I do believe I have that clarity too, even with all the quarantine stress. Learning Spanish feels nice to have my mind occupied and I’d hate to lose that for a “fix” and blacking out.
Here’s to us! :muscle:

Honeymoon or not, I’ll take it (one day at the time :wink: )

… well I didn’t think you’d need wet wipes, or I would have offered those :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hope you are feeling a bit better, and thank you re: oversharing :+1: Image if they made that into a TV show :thinking::astonished::joy::kissing_heart:
