Awww thank you! That was such a sweet response. I feel so much better now. I was being way too hard on myself. You are right they all should have tried to introduce themselves to me because I was the odd one out. Maybe nothing is wrong with me lol… Thank you!

Sunday night, these days I actually look forward to work on Monday, gives me something to do 
Back in the apartment on my own for a few days so I try and do things to keep me busy.
Watch a bit if tv and maybe a film.
Haven’t been to a Zoom aa meeting in a while. I’m not sure I get anything from them. I always did when I went to in person meetings. Might go to another one tomorrow and at least give them a chance, only an hour or two out of the day anyway.
Find myself more checking in here if I’m honest 
Anywho, enjoy whatever time if day it is with you!

Checking in on a Sunday. Day 262. Was having a great morning. Plugged in my fun Christian Contemporary Rock music thinking I’ll have a nice walk with God. And Bam 
that addictive devil brain kicked in and all I could think about was going on a long trip to Europe somewhere and drinking on the plane and in pubs and cafes. And how some day I can do that again. Because I love to travel! Starting over wouldn’t be so bad. Fuck this shit!! I couldn’t get it out of my head for 40 minutes and the devil was beating my sorry ass. It really pissed me off. Then, I thought, why don’t you try changing the music your listening to Ya big doofus!? Brilliant idea 
for the last 5 minutes of my walk. It did in fact help. My addiction devil may have won a small battle today in my mind but I learned something from it and I’m winning the war. I’m not going to fucking drink today. And I’m probably not going to fucking drink tomorrow. And that’s what it’s all about!!

Day 7. It was a rough day, stressed out in every 5 minutes, I was tense all day. But the evening is quite ok so far.

Hi everyone, just a quick note to say goodnight. I’ve just rolled over into day 39, so things are going all right. My immediate goal of 45 days isn’t far off… then my sights will be on 60.
Quite a bit of rain here tonight, lots of thunder and lightning, but it seems to have settled down into just a steady rain.
I hope that work will be somewhat busier this week…
In any event, goodnight everyone.

I think compromise is key. It sounds like ur bf is willing to work with u, which is great. Also having the confidence to know u don’t have to be together all the time. Sometimes u have to say “I am going to do x, catch up with u later”

Day 13 - While it is my favorite number, I will be glad to not see it again in reference to sobriety days! Today was kind of a bust - after making breakfast I puttered around the house and then BAM got hit by the worst migraine I’ve had in a while. I was out for the count for several hours, though I did manage to sleep through quite a bit of it off and on. The magical part was that I recovered and felt better! In the same day! I have suffered from migraines for years, and I know that drinking was part of what made them worse and last for days rather than hours. Of course, I would end up drinking in a ridiculous attempt to find relief. Stupid flawed logic, every time. Today’s experience is a good sign and makes me hopeful that I won’t be as plagued by them in the future. Hooray! Thank goodness there are leftovers in the fridge because I do have what is often referred to as the migraine “hangover,” and still feel pretty exhausted and useless, but I know that I will wake up tomorrow feeling alright. And sober! I’m going to be looking for some support this coming week in the lead up to my husband’s 42nd birthday next weekend. The festivities start on Friday, as he has decided to take the day off, and I imagine he’ll start drinking then, too. I am so grateful to him for abstaining these last couple of weeks, but the time is coming for me to deal with staying sober while he drinks. I know I can do it, I’ve done it before, and just need to keep my head straight. We will be planning some activities that don’t involved just hanging around while he drinks, like at least one day trip for some hiking and enjoying the beautiful fall weather while we can. Probably some bonfires and bbqs.

I’m right there with ya April
I actually think 2020 has made it easier to stay sober because I’m not out being tempted by travel and restaurants and fine dining. But I would like the next phase of the new normal to commence.
C’MON!! It seems like in America we are always restarting the clock and waiting for the new hotspot.
