Dayyyy 32.25! Life is sooooo good today! 
All good things are happening and I am just basking in the 
…
I have noticed a huge difference in my mood and outlook on life while taking my B-vitamins. Plus I am doing this intermittent fasting which gives my body more time to heal itself. Day 5 of my diet and I feel amazing! I highly recommend Tru Niagen & Tumeric… and Supergreens… they have been a game changers for me.

Back to Day 1. Nothing changes unless something changes. It was all about burying the “feelings”. Like we all know, they are still there when you wake up. I had no intention of quitting when I went to bed, but I woke up and visited with you all here for a bit and was like, “Oh, right. I remember how those days felt.” I cannot give myself an inch. I was still carrying on the same, sit down and drink beer from 5p-9pm - but I was really romanticizing what kind of drinker I wanted to be “this time”.
Right. Totally normal.

I was able to go for a walk, first day in a long time that I’m not in pain. So relieved. But my kids were on edge all day and I started feeling wound up too. It’s hard to stay calm when we are on top of each other. Sometimes I think about beer, but I’m not having any.

Day 564. Getting into the swing of the staying at home life. Working from home, Zoom AA meetings from my couch, learning how to slow down.

Thank you @Mno @Hopeful777 @crystalclear for asking. I’m doing okay in that I’m not going to drink, and I have my essential needs of life met. Taking a real life pause for gratitude for that. 
But I’m struggling with my mental state. I seem to swing between irritable and flat, with a lot of apathy and very little happy or sad. I haven’t had a chance to meet with my psychiatrist to discuss my recent med changes yet but that’s one of my suspects. I’m also feeling stressed and just “done” with things. I haven’t felt like I’ve had much positive or interesting to say.
But I know this isn’t forever and I’m mostly on the right track with things, so I just need to stay the course.

I’m struggling today. Day 24. The boredom is getting to me. I live in a city area and we are on stay at home orders. I had bad dreams last night about being held hostage. That sucked.
I have found myself bargaining all day, like, I’ll just have some vodka today and then go back to being dry, just one day. Ugh.

Day 541. Today’s been rough. Emergency dental work sandwiched between appointments for therapy and otherwise, followed by refreshed financial stress, and now I can’t seem to stop bleeding. I have stuff to do tomorrow as well but I’m hoping to take as much of the day as I can to recharge.

Ok…you know things are bad when there are Storm Troopers walking down the street in broad daylight.
That must be the prisoner with them?

Oh no, I think I’m too late @I.cant.We.can.
Anyway, I.wish you the best while you’re away and can’t wait to hear all about it when you come back. Sending you big hugs Brian. 
You’re not alone @CapriciousCapricorn. I was saying the same thing to myself for 4 months. You think I would have figured it out sooner.
