So sorry to hear you’re going through all of that. Life can be a pure shit storm sometimes. Stay strong, make your daughter the priority, take care of yourself and your sobriety and remember there are a lot of us here to support you and help you through this. Sending love my friend.

Birdsong and waking up with no headache are great.
I find myself romanticizing drinking sometimes. Thinking, I’ve gone half a year, I’ve reset, so if I had a couple of beers it would be nice and I wouldn’t have to go back to drinking every day. But I remember that when I’ve done that before, I do always seem to slip back to daily drinking. And what’s so amazing about having a beer that it’s worth jeopardizing the mental clarity I have without it? Sometimes it seems silly that I have to go over all that multiple times a day but I know it’s not necessarily silly. If something is an ingrained habit (I drank at least three drinks a day, often a lot more, for most of 30 years) — then it takes work to unpick it.

It is such an evil thing and I’m onto it now I wont let it sneak up on me and whisper in my ear again. Peace out friends xx

@GVLNative thank you so much. Your words helped me to clarify more ideas. May the Lord bless you because you are helping many here and you don’t focus in your own problems.
Day 4 sober. I see how slightly I tend to break my self imposed discipline. It is one of the signs of mindless thinking

@residentevil I have a different addiction but you described perfectly my own thoughts. Peace brother and let’s fight again!!!
5.27 days… so tired, the rioters were at it again. I just closed my balcony door, and hoped they didn’t set my building on fire again 
. It’s just so loud with the screaming and yelling, fireworks, cops shooting whatever it is they shoot, helicopters. Man the bags under my eyes would cost extra to check at the airport 
I think I found the perfect therapist for me yesterday. I’ll find out today when we have our first session. Virtually of course. I’m so used to that by now it’s almost the same for me. Or dare I say preferred haha. Introvert who?
I’ve finally found that hope again that I lost and that desire to be sober that I also lost. It’s going to be a long road, as I really dug a hole this time. I’m not ready to share the full details yet, but I will at some point. Lots of shame and stigma.
I hope everyone has a lovely sober day

That’s actually a great idea. I hadn’t thought about it in a looooong time, but in college I did some volunteer work at a greyhound rescue. Former racing dogs needing homes, saved from being euthanized. We would clean their kennels, take them for walks, play with them, etc. There was one dog I got particularly close with, the biggest greyhound there, Diego was his name. A magnificent dog.
I only did it for a semester or two, as I was more concerned with drinking and partying back then, but it was a great experience and in retrospect I wish I had continued it. I just didn’t have the awareness to focus on what was truly important…but then again, who does when they are 17/18 and beginning their path into addiction? Easy to lose sight of things.
Thanks again Stevie - going to see if I can find one of these around here.
