Day 3. Checking in. Last night I dreamt I was drinking at a party (I don’t even party anymore!) and I remember thinking in my dream, it can’t hurt to have one drink, you don’t really have a problem, other people do this. I know it’s my addicted brain talking to me, but I’m frustrated this morning, wondering how to shut that part of my brain off.

That’s a really great quote, thanks for sharing. I feel like that is very similar to the idea of enjoying the journey and not always focusing on the “destination”.

Day 34! Every day I have been battling myself over being on my phone. I am starting to feel like its becoming another addiction for me because I have tried to limit it with no luck. I think the underlying issue is that I am so darn ALONE. I crave connection with other humans. Even in my relationship we dont connect at all.
So the next few days I am going to put down my phone and maybe within my loneliness I can conjure up a plan to not be so lonely in my day to day life. Wish me luck, happy sober day everyone.

I also had friends and coworkers tell me that they didn’t think I had a problem with drinking when I first decided I wanted to get sober, years ago. Some implied I was being too hard on myself or overreacting. At least, that was my interpretation. I drank with them, but they also didn’t know the extent of my drinking when I was alone.
It doesn’t matter if others think we have a problem. It doesn’t even really matter how bad our problem with drinking is. If you don’t want to drink anymore and you know it’s an issue for you… That’s all that’s matters.
Keep on keeping on, and I look forward to watching you progress.

Hey Jake; nice to see you! Don’t ever feel like that; we are all in the same boat with no judgments. Only help and encouragement.

That’s a great message, Beardy. One size doesn’t fit all, lol. If it’s a problem in our life then we change it.

- First half of the day over. We talked to all the doctors. I darn near made love to the old oncologist. “This looks like we can cure you, you will just have to grow old like the rest of us” much needed good news. Now headed back, now that the doctors have talked to her, we get treatmenrt options. There is a great sense of optimism. Someone decorated my wrist band
