Hey still kicking man, day 157. Been in a pissy ass mood for like 2 weeks now. I can feel it’s slowly lifting, been limiting my screen time and just trying to focus on a few other things in my life. Thanks for checking on me bro, how r you doing ?

Checking in back on track after a two week relapse from hell. I relapsed 2 days before I had 5 months. So last night I went to the hospital to get meds to help me safely detox. Today Is my first day back. I tried to safely ween myself off, but that was a horrible idea. From someone who had to have a shot almost every hour to stop the horrid shakes and everything that went with it. That was hell. The meds are making this more tolerable, but this is going to be a rough one. Im going to my first meeting since my nose dive into doom today at 6. Just felt like I actually needed to share that with someone. The guilt and shame alone from this were enough to make me consider never coming back… but here I am, day one again.

Day 555. What a number! I am more than thankful that i have made it so many times - one day at a time.
Life in Corona Times has become so very stressful at work, that the past 4 months have been the most difficult time i ever experienced in my worklife, as my boss, i dont know, is trying to get rid of me. Therefore i am even more proud that i am still sober and tbh i would not have been able to get the workload done without being sober.
This is meant to also inspire you guys. No matter how difficult life is, stay strong and you will be even stronger afterwards.

Checking in - Day 10 and safely back in double digits. The third time’s the charm, so they say :wink:

Just finished two long days of meetings, but at least these were in-person. Was nice to see my colleagues. We used a large boardroom at the empty regional airport so we could all sit apart - just part of the new normal. Planes have started flying in and out again, good news, though at radically reduced schedules…

@CapriciousCapricorn I’m jealous of your professional haircut! I took the scissors to my hair too, but how good can the outcome be when the scissors are labelled “Crayola”? :laughing: I am letting my botched effort recover somewhat and will humour my over-booked stylist next month.

Hope you have all had a day that leaves you contented and happy, or are having sound sleeps and wake up the same way!

It was when you said this was your third try… I can relate! But I wrote another thread about that, so I won’t take up more words here. Congratulations again on all of your days - I hope you are celebrating your successes!

Day 23. Been in this sort of brain-fog all day. I feel a little numb emotionally but nothing unmanageable. I’ve been having fleeting thoughts of relapse all day. Not a tugging or pulling feeling but they’re getting a little more frequent. I don’t want to panic nor do I want to get complacent. I’m on alert now, wish me luck, folks. :v:

Dig deep! I think you have the strength to crush any and all of those “thoughts-of-relapse” moments! I am sending you good vibes and caffeinated alertness to be on the lookout for those moments. You show 'em who’s in control :wink:
Tomorrow will come and it may well be that the brain-fog has lifted too… :relaxed:
You can do it!

Maybe attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, getting a sponsor, and working the 12-step program will give you a more positive perspective on your situation. Just a suggestion.
It sure turned my life around for the better, actually saved my life. I am now okay with just being okay and I have peace and serenity in my life all due to the miracles of the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Good job on reaching out @BobIsGone and letting people know how you feel. That is one of the first steps in healing one’s self. Stay plugged in here to talking sober. You’ll find a lot of good people here with sound advice. :heart:
