Sorry to hear that Rad; are you going to do something different?
Iā€™m sort of in the same boat and I realized I donā€™t really have a strong foundation other than here and abstaining. I have a big book from aa I started reading again and was just going to listen to some YouTube meetings.
Stick around here more too and talk to us!

Normally, commenting about cute chicks on the internet would be a low point for me. Totally not the case here. What does one feed a quail chick?

Hi Donna. I will definitely need to do something else rather than just hope I will win with addiction on my own.
At the minute trying to callm down anxiety as is way to high to concentrate on anything.
I will have a look at these online meetings just need to put myself together.

HAHA good one!! Luckily they are born able to feed themselves kinda like chickens doā€¦ so we got some chick starter feed at the feed store. So far so good. In a few weeks we will be taking it for walks in the desert.

Checking in: 7 months and 2 days. Yesterday was absolutely awful. I fought drinking the whole day. I really thought I didnā€™t have to fight anymore but I was begging higher powers I never knew existed to help me. Complacency is an insidious monster. Just soo grateful I stayed sober. One day at a time. It really does help having other people who are invested in your sobriety. I donā€™t think I would have got through it otherwise. My toolkit is much improved this time around and it made a huge difference. I feel like I went to war yesterday I am physically and emotionally exhausted today. Happily my demons also seem to be exhausted today. Stay strong everyone.:two_hearts:

175 Days: Happy Motherā€™s Day to all the wonderful mothers! Spent the day with my mom at my sisters house. Great day, made my BBQ ribs and had momā€™s potatoe salad! Almost felt like a normal day. No masks, but we did keep our distance from one another.

I was lucky enough to get tested for Covid 19 last week. If you havenā€™t experienced this yet donā€™t!! Honestly feels like someone is sticking a small stake in your brain and then wiggling it around for 15 seconds. So awesome. Luckily I was negative, but I have had four of my installers test positive in the last two weeks. They are all doing ok, but Iā€™m nervous about the rest of the installers who work for me and their families. Whatā€™s a little more stress during an already super stressful time. One day at a time has never had a more important meaning in my life than it does today.

But Iā€™m still sober with no real desire to drink. My brother-in-law did offer me a Moscow Mule at the bbq today, one of my favorite summer drinks. Although the thought was tempting, I was well prepared and politely declined. Heā€™s not aware of my almost six months of sobriety. Itā€™s not as obvious Iā€™ve quit drinking as it was when I checked into rehab last time I got sober!:joy: The rehab kind of gives it away.

Happy to be sober, sick of being bored, need a vacation so badly! Keep fighting everyone. We can all stay sober for one more day! Thanks for being here for me, your help and support has made a huge difference in my life. Love this community!

Day 602 :coffee:
I decided it before, but it didnā€™t work out then :hugs:
Going to try it again: more distance from TS.
Iā€™m here every day and that helped me a lot in staying sober. But now that alcohol has not a big part in my life anymore I want to give it less attention. Being here is attention.
Iā€™m also too much on my phone and want to reduce that too.
So donā€™t worry about me if you donā€™t see me for a few days ore more!
