First week! I feel like I’m still feeling anxious from last weeks binge. At least this morning, I’m waking up knowing exactly what I did last night.

Day 86. Had a Zoom social get together yesterday. It was so strange socializing with people again. I have social anxiety and I definitely felt off after the meeting. Creeping thoughts of sounding dumb and not saying the right things. Hopefully I can put this past me today, but I’m worried about when things get back to normal and I’ll have to start talking to people again regularly.

Same for me! When I disappeared for a while a ways back, it was a comfort that you were still here. A lot of us have come and gone over the years. We slip and fall, and then get back up again. Fighting the good fight and hopefully never giving up. So know you have always done the same for me

Checking in at 2.06 days. Groggy, but hopefully on my way to better. Somewhat triggered last night to drink, but held my own. A friend came over to take care of me, flowers for my b-day, cooked me dinner… problem is, we went on a date back in December and I could not see myself being interested in him romantically, and honestly I can’t see that with anyone in my immediate future.
Problem is, I know he really likes me and that makes it really uncomfortable for me because I won’t change my mind. I don’t want to hurt him, but I think it’s too late. So, briefly the thought of drinking crossed my mind as a way to cut the awkwardness, or worse, give the guy what he wants. I’m so unbelievably fucked in the head. I have the most unbelievably bad relationship with sex. Why am I like this and I feel like this is way over sharing but for fuck’s sake, something has got to give. If I don’t acknowledge, recognize and work on my triggers, nothing will change.

Day 284. Perfect outside. Bike ride? Check! Now it’s time to detail the car (so it can keep sitting in the driveway)…
One of the many places along the trail I run/ride that has community art projects on it.
Have a strong day!!!

Saturday evening here in Europe. Day 7. I’m glad I realised alcohol really does not help with the lockdown lonelyness. I’m listening to books and podcasts and chatting to friends and that is helping, also this forum is great.

wish you all the best on your sober journey, I wouldn’t hold your breath for nice sober sleep though as many of us struggle with that in the early days.

Day 7 here too, drinking less and less bad my life goes on. I want to quit for good, hangovers from 1 and 3 weeks ago we’re terrible. Takes me 7-10 days to “recover”. My body goes full blown f off from alcohol!

Day 134
Emotional talk with my friend in the hospital. Sad she is dying, angry that it has to be so undignified, regretful we weren’t better friends earlier, worried I will say the wrong thing. A royal flush of negative emotions.

I’m already jealous, my counter starts a new day at about 4pm. it’s the first time since I’ve been on here bc obviously once you start drinking and smoking you don’t stop until bedtime 
but on the last occasion I had 2 mouthfuls and poured it all away. Unheard of!!! Does give me something to look forward to halfway through the day though.

with all this going on in your head you still manage to stay sober, I’m sorry to hear about your problems but your showing strength, proud of you for that and your continuous sober days.

Day 32. Just been working out. Chest and cardio. Got a short paddle session in. Already hungry for my brisket chili dinner but I’ve been tilting the scale the wrong way this week. Time to conserve the food stockpile and see how long we can make it last this time around.
