104 days sober. I keep resetting on smoking cigarettes. Right now I have bronchitis because of my picking up smoking (AGAIN) when I became sober. A rational observation would be to stop it, Iām hurting myself. But. Iām not there, I feel desperate each time I swear off cigarettes. I donāt even smoke that much, 8 to 10 a day, about one an hour. Iāve got 5 different flavored gums, cinnamon candy, and drink lots of water. The reason Iām spending so much time on this topic is that Iām working through a craving moment. It has passed and I didnāt smoke. Now I go back to my sewing. Thanks

Well done on 2 weeks and well done on a really cool name 
never was a fan until I watched a tour he did on amazon or Netflix where he talks about his life and songs and plays them all on accustuc, if your a fan youāve probably seen it but I found it very moving. BTW I love how real and crazy dreams are now, I look forward to sleep bc I never know whatās going to happen next.

Checking in for day 12 yesterday, and day 13 complete as of 5:30, into day 14 now, canāt believe itās been almost 2 weeks. Saw the Chiropodist yesterday, heās writing to my GP to refer me to the hospital for my toe and heel pain, so thereās some hope I may get some help for that soon, on the way home my car broke down, but instead of panicking and calling my Dad, I simply phoned the breakdown company and was able to get home. Today I had the first Zoom session for the Personality Disorder support group, I am so socially awkward I barely spoke unless prompted, Iām always like that in groups, but the support is available for 18 months, every 2 weeks, so Iām going to keep pushing myself to keep attending. It really is so much easier to deal with things sober. I havenāt been for a walk today so beating myself up a bit about that, but I really didnāt feel like it and itās been raining on and off. Right now, I feel like sh*t, my head is pounding, my eyes are watering, my throat is sore, my teeth hurt, and my nose is itchy, itās probably just a cold and Iāve got some Beechamās pills from a while ago so going to take some of those with my nighttime meds. I have only read the first 6 pages of the book I got so far, because Iāve been so tired I just fall asleep quickly, havenāt stopped yawning today. Time to feed the cats and myself now. Itās over stay sober

Mani pedi always works for me. Maybe just a pedi sine Rona is screwing up things these days. My size 16s are screaming for a pedi 
they got to use a big garbage bag for the paraffin treatment.

Day 17: From scanning through this thread, it seems like Iām not the only one who is in deep thoughts and existential contemplation mode lately! Nice to know Iām not alone. Iām feeling better than I did yesterday and being more productive, too, but there is a lot of stuff rolling around in this noggin of mine. Time for some journaling later, me thinks. Iād like to share some of my thoughts here but I need to ruminate some more and get them down on paper. Hubbyās birthday count down is on and Iām sober and confident today. He knows my plan and I know he will be helping me and checking in. The weather looks beautiful for the next few days, and itās so much easier to be in his vicinity when heās having some drinks if we can be outside or I can get some space. More on that later. He gets his birthday presents tonight and Iām excited about that!

Yes!!! That! I screen capped your response because I really need to remember your measuring sticks for if i think itās a problem for me or not. They start to get to you you kniw. You can feel like a burning trash fire from drinking and if enough people tell you itās not a big deal or youāre making too much of it it starts to make you think maybe they are right. But why? They donāt have to live in your body. With your shame and stuff.

In day 5. Iāve hit a SURPRISING number of ups and downs in 5 days. 
Usually Iām good for about a month since Iām not a daily drinker and thatās when it starts to kick up and the desire to just get obliterated kicks in. I only know how to drink 2 bottles of wine at a time.
I think itās good though. I think reading your posts and working through some of these thoughts early on this time will be helpful when that kicks up. Or when people are trying to convince me Iām fine and moderation is better than just giving it up. Although I donāt know what horse THEY have in the race so why do they even care?
