@C_8 … what Paul said !! You got this
Weird to have that smell around but i sometimes have the same, pretty weird but its only in the moment !
249 Days. My day started out good and then it went all downhill. Got in a huge fight with my husband right before we were sitting down for a barbecue dinner. I ended up walking away and not eating dinner. He said some pretty harsh shit very loud outside and it made me so angry. I know all the neighbors heard his big fucking loud mouth. I couldn’t even take a walk. I felt like they would all be looking at me and talking about it. I came in the house and cried which isn’t like me. It was either cry or get in the car and go to the liquor store. It’s now 3am and I’m still so angry, I can’t sleep. I’ll get over it eventually and life will go on.

3.5 years without booze today - hard to believe.
Still occasionally tempted, but as long as I don’t have the first one I’ll be ok.
The biggest hurdle’s serving the time needed to get thinking straight, to start becoming the person you were, before.
Next stop, 4 years - see you all there.

Day 12
After my relapse I had an increase of intrusive thoughts of drinking, happy to say they are decreasing again quickly. Weird and unsettling how they popped right back up again after one session of drinking. Managing to behave myself food-wise around the left-overs of my daughter’s birthday party.

- Perfect weather for a ride but I’m stuck inside because of my bad back atm. Going to make the best of it today. I started of well by reading here. You all inspire me, newbies, old farts, steady goers with years long quits, relapsing strugglers and anybody in between. So much to learn from you all. So much inspiration. We’re in this together.
Myself I’ll have a look at the different therapies on offer at the personality disorder treatment place I was interviewed for the other week. They’re supposed to call me this week or next to talk about treatment. If any. Want to be prepared and have a say in the matter.
Will find some more useful stuff to do. Daydreaming included. I was just thinking about this cycling holiday back in 1999. I will be back there. Sober and clean. Have a good week all. Love from Amsterdam and Alta Badia.

Beautifull weather here, that helps 
Big up for all the great digits above this post and probz tot everyone fighting a different but eventhough same struggle.
Yesterday i had some crazy thoughts cous of not beïng able to do anything. It wasnt longer then 2scnds before i told, and laughed (at) myself how ridiculous it was and my mood shifted for the better. Funny how the brain works and made me think about doing a drug which i never ever even had before…
Going to reflect on that today out of curiousity to figure out what triggerd me in that few scnds.
Wish you all the best and keep it safe peopz

I feel ya. The weekends are always the worst parts of the week in sober life as most of the time this is where everything/everyone started.
One day at the time and 2nd weekend will be over sober
