Day 38. Spent an hour on the phone with a close friend and finally told him about whats going in with my wife’s cancer and my decision to quit drinking. Felt a lot better getting that off my chest. Then she got mad at me for talking about it. Oh did that make me want to drink. how can i make her understand this affects me too? or am i just being selfish. i didn’t think i was and i wasn’t trying to hurt her.

Day 148! Today was actually really good, I got a lot of work done which is always nice. The worst thing that happened is my house has somehow gotten infested with ants, so I’ve been trying to get rid of them for two days and haven’t been able to, which has been very stressful.

Day 599 
Here the day has started, it’s 6:36 o’clock.
Was awake at 6 by my self. Seems like I get up in the morning earlier every time without alarm needed. But I enjoy being downstairs all by myself. One of the many gifts of being sober

- 11 months. Glad to be alive. Happy I’m sober and clean. Grateful for the things I got. On we go. One day at a time. Did a big big ride yesterday. Rode the first part too fast so it became quite a struggle to get home. But got there. @Jimieg Cycling is the best therapy friend. Happy you like and do it too! Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Sometimes it’s all smooth and easy, sometimes it’s all a huge struggle. It’s always better clean and sober for someone like me. Love from Amsterdam and Petten beach.

It’s funny you say this and something I’ve actually been looking into. Number one, I never got cramps until a few years ago, so I think time is a factor. However, aside from that, I looked at the calendar and all of my slips fell immediately before Aunt Flo showed up. I’m trying to be more cognizant of it as I feel the weakness slowly taking its hold. I find that pretty interesting.

@Mtrav0040 completely agree! I am still thinking I can manage this. And time and facts are stubborn. I need a Higher Power to met my powerlessness
Day 1 on track @Dolse71 you always make me smile.

Checking in on day 1.
Not much to say for myself. For someone who loves to have their shit together and thrives on order and rules, I am greatly ashamed to be checking in on day 1 yet again. I know in the past, (when I have been winning at the whole sobriety thing), I have watched people check in on day 1 over and over again and judged them for not pulling their shit together. Now I am one of those people. It is really humbling how much I am struggling with this alcohol days… I think this is it though… I hope this is it. It just feels different this time. I don’t think I was fully ready before, but I definitely feel ready now. I can not moderate. One drink is never just one. (Not for long anyway.) In these hard days I want to take good care of myself, not continue to hurt myself. To my poor body: I am so sorry. Thank you for always hanging in there for me. I promise not to hurt you anymore.
