I appreciate you reaching out to me
I’m in a bad place right now. I am talking with a counselor tomorrow. Just trying to hang on.

21st day without alcohol. Lack of any positive feelings today. Busy day at work and finally got my line manager recalled best of my team member back from furlough leave. Haven’t seen this hardest working girl in nearly 3 months. I hope she will bring some positivity into my life.
Feeling disappointed at myself as have no motivation to give more of myself to them two little monkeys.
Again simple things sucks out energy of me and can’t stop it.

Appreciate you responding. We’ve all been there. Hang in and sending positive vibes your way.
Today was a decent day.
I’ve spent about 4 hours on school. which is low due to the two tests i have in 35 hours. ive spent a lot of time reading on this forum. also joined the TS meeting. Like you can see, im really struggling with not nailbiting…
All in all, not a very eventful day.

Just managed to go out with my car and do some things here and there for 4 hours. Went back at home without having bought booze. Feels like a victory. Small steps they say… had to check in again for this day 2. End afternoon close to supper time is my usual anxiety moment where I go out and binge… not today.

Would not recommend. Are you sure you’ve used all of your coping skills? Maybe there’s some coping skills that you have to dig down deep into your soul to be aware of that you never knew you had.
Anyways, enjoy Angelia. It seems like you’ve made your mind up. Please share your experience if you make it back. In my line of work, sadly some people never make it back. Good luck to you in your endeavors.
P.S. If you would like to put some coping skills to use rather than drink, IM me. I will stop what I’m doing immediately and take time to talk with you. That is the hand of Alcoholics Anonymous reaching out to the newcomer. That’s how I’ve been taught and that’s how it works.

checking in, I was OK falling off the wagon but now I’m not again. I’ve been reading all your posts and I think I wanna be on the winning team again so one more sleep and start again tomorrow. Drinking is OK until its not.

Hi all. Checking in at 36 hours. Just got off a zoom with my ladies’ AA meeting. So comforting to hear familiar voices and they welcomed me back. Want to thank you all for your help. I still feel like shit, but it’s only been 36 hours!

Good for you!!
I’m ending day 2, I’m in bed, sober and happy.
Today at 5 o’clock, instead of going to drink I’d meditate. It was energizing and I went with on with my day.
