Hi everyone,
Well, as it turns out, I will in fact be going home to Switzerland tomorrow, and I’m quite happy about that. This has been a good assignment, and well paid, but I’ve basically been here since the beginning of August, and it will be nice to get home… and it seems that Belgium is being taken OFF of the red list for quarantines, so I may not have to sit in my flat for 10 days after all. Good stuff.
Anyway, I’m coming up on 23 days in just a few minutes, so I’m pleased about that. Another week, and I’ll hit the one-month mark.
So good night all… Have a happy and sober weekend everyone.

You can get through this day!
It was an argument with my partner that made me want to stop again.
I’m day 11. Feeling a bit fed up tonight but I know I’d only feel worse if I had a drink.

Day 67.
I just did a BIG mental “redirect”.
I slept poorly last night, thinking about work, and got going early this morning, coffee’d and full throttled at my desk, zoom meetings galore. It had also been rainy and cold all week.
By 3pm? Meetings done, work handed in, big blue sky, it’s Friday of a 3-day weekend… …surely it must be cider o’clock!
Nope.
Took the dog girl for a walk on our trails, drank in the warm fall air, sun on my face - my medicine. Don’t need much more than that…

…well, maybe some of that dutch gouda that @Mno is passing around. And @CapriciousCapricorn, I’m not there yet, but sugar is next. (I never thought I ate much, and I didn’t - i just drank it! :laughing:)
@TMAC wish you could’ve seen my smile as I read your post. I know I’m not the only one…
@Fargesia_murielae your post-1-year posts, your journey and your insights are an inspiration.
@Misokatsu ouch. your TS pals know you weren’t drinking. you know you weren’t drinking. hugs to you.

Happy Weekend all. Thanks for showing up and sharing! :orange_heart:

Do something to occupy your mind. Even a ride around the block or walk. Hang in there. It gets better I promise.

Take a look at the meme thread. That helps me to pass the time.

In 15 minutes, I’ll reach 1 week. Survived a family barbecue and a holiday weekend kickoff without the chardonnay, hard seltzer or even beer. I’m 57 and finally think I can do this. Was tempted to taste a beer tonight but my 20-something newly sober son talked me out of it. I’ve been reading here for 5 days and know the tug, the pull, the evil voice passes. Get behind me, Satan. I am grateful for this forum and that I’ve made it a whole week! Thanks for listening.
