- Half day of work. Then spending the day with my someone special. She is this elegant, classy lady…and she wants, truly wants to go turkey hunting with me. Took me a couple days to process that she actually wanted to learn how to do this. She said, “for years I had to fake like things, but with you I just want to learn and do the the things that you enjoy”. So, off to one of the biggest sporting good stores in the State in about 5 hours…but who is counting?

First day not hungover. I had such bad night sweats but I somehow managed to sleep really well. It snowed here and not looking forward to the drive to work but at least I’ll be doing it with a clear head. Hope you all have a good day and thank you for the warm welcome yesterday. 
I got this.

89 days clean and sober today! Oh s**t I can hardly wait for tomorrow but I need to be grounded in today. I can’t believe how far I’ve come from the person I was when I was using and drinking. Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done for me. Have a great day today!!!

Day 1 done on to Day 2. Had to reset yesterday and I’m so frustrated that I put myself right back in this situation. Spending time recuperating and reflecting. I feel a mess physically and emotionally but I’ve been here before and I will just try again with some deliberate action planning. Really need to talk to my husband about our life with alcohol, even though I know this is my choice to abstain and that’s all I can control. Therapy is feeling lackluster and my experience with grief, loss, and lack of emotional regulation is getting the best of me right now. Time to get back to working on me AGAIN.

Checking in. Riding my scooter to work today. Here’s an interesting discovery about sobriety: I used to ride this thing like a nervous grandma. Now, I breeze along at a whopping 20 mph totally enjoying every moment, every scent and sight. Gone is the anxiety! Yay

Congratulations on day 397 - 398 by now. 
Thank you for your question. In what was a nice couple of days I had a moment of weakness and took the wrong decision and am now back to picking up my healthy routine.
My partner was having a bad day with bad news. I was already feeling anxious and this tipped it over so on my round in the store I picked up wine as well… after already drinking 3 glasses he noticed and confronted me about it. He is very helpful in my path to sobriety. Doesn’t drink himself - only at special events, but not even then most of the time. Makes me open up and speak up. This time I didn’t want to bother him and that was a bad call…
Now taking time to get things back on track. Have been messing up these day, but talking about it and understanding what went wrong helps.

Feel pretty much the same way today on day 3. I feel so angry about everything today… I feel like I’m not in my place anywhere. Thanks for your post because it reminded me that I am still recuperating. It’s been awhile since Ive been working… like… 6 months. So now stopping booze and starting to work at the same time (actually internship, so not even a job I’m use to), I feel like I’m going to implose. I’m on the “2 minutes at a time” right now. Not even about alcool, but just about sitting in my feeling for another 2 minutes to see how I can come out of this. And after dozens of minutes I realize the feeling has passed. But yet it come back right away, then “another 2 minutes”… Long day ahead of me. Was supposed to work from home all day, but just got a text saying I have to head to work for the afternoon. For the 6-monther-off that I am that feel like a truck hitting me just to dress and look o.k. . Hopefully therapist and outside patient on Monday will drive me up.
Time to get back working on us AGAIN, but this time please don’t stop (saying this out loud to myself).
