28.2 days… Weird dream about craving alcohol, not drinking, just craving lol. Then in my dream I said these meds aren’t working, I should try to drink to see if the meds really block the effect of the alcohol. But decided not to because I didn’t want to reset lol. Ah, sober dreams. Gotta love them. They do help you recognize how much your sobriety means to you.
@Natnat I would block that number and then delete the contact. I hate that you had to wake up to that right when you’re getting back on track. 
You’re doing awesome!!

I find it astonishing the amount of people that “relapse” on here?!
It seems to me they think it’s ok to have that one night of drinks,no damage done,feel a bit guilty but just say “back to day 1” and start the cycle again.
Even I know that in this hot weather,there is nothing better than beers/ciders/shots with friends & family. The temptation is strong. But that’s when your will power needs to kick in.
I know this is probably sounding harsh but I think a few of you need to hear it. Too many of “that’s ok,at least you’re back here again…etc” replies from fellow forum users.
Sometimes a bit of tough love is needed.
Good luck to you all.
Peace & Love

Happy Thursday, everyone! Checking in sober, Day 170. Going to spend another day on a ladder, scraping and sanding my mom’s house for her ahead of repainting it. It is my summer project, part of my making amends for years of stress and sadness over my addiction. Restoring the house is symbolic of restoring my life. It takes a lot of worth, but it is worth it!

Day 4 after one of the biggest bender weekends of my life. Decided enough was enough after trying time and time again in the past to quit the drink. Finally feel myself again today and had a great day at work. Taking it a day at a time.

I get your opinion , for starters… no disrespect. But research shows that for example in clinical programs and settings only 1 out 15 who get to finish it stays good for longer then a year. 4% makes it over 2 years and 2% gets over 5 years. The studys are based on persons in their first clinical try…
And yes, for a person like me its better to get some harsh reality and tough love indeed but i think its not correct to say that this forum is to kind or soft. You can pick those who can help or with who’m you have a ‘click’… but do never judge good ment, loving words.
Whats the point burning someone while that person allready feels shitty and ashamed.
Then they lose contact , and the hard truth can be said in a pm p.e.

Going on day 3. I’ve started making plans for the weekend which really seems to be easing some anxieties of sitting in my apartment trying to find something to do. Usually idle time seems to be a pretty big culprit for me early on. Have a good day everyone!
