Day 103
My night out was followed by the most vivid drinking dream. The feelings that I had in the dream, the fuck-you thought that led to drinking, the sneaking that made me angry and guilty, the sadness and regret after, were so goddamn real. Just feel exhausted (emotionally) and I just got up. Man, I am a baby sober!

Checking in on day 8 (grateful to open my eyes sober and clear minded) and I’m attending a meeting at 9:30am. I cannot do sobriety alone and it’s been a different feeling this time around going to the meetings these past 6 days so I’ll be trying to get to one meeting a day.

Great job on your 8 days Dee. I’ve tried so many times to quite drinking on my own. Never happened. This is my first time getting support and I’m doing it. It’s so worth it.

I was given a new book to read… I’ve never heard of it, but I’m sure some of you may of read it?.. If so, thoughts? Ive decided to not just rely on my own strength this time round, I’m going to be open to any and all forms of help, guidence, teachings etc that I can consume with new found faith in the texts and literature that are known to be tried and true

Today is a day that will go down as a great day in history in Melbourne victoria- our mask laws have now offically been LIFTED!!! Thank you universe for letting us to now enjoy our sunshine mask free!! This is a huge mile stone for us and we have obeyed our governments strict mask laws for 9 months now, and our co operation and respecting our fellow citizens well being has been worth the inconvenience of living life with masks 24/7… Time to celebrate with a new make up shopping haul lol, now that make can be enjoyed again properly lol

Day 8 here. Halfway to my happy place for the next 7 weeks. Routine overnight stopover usually meant dinner and drinks. I will stick with food, thank you very much.
Enjoy the rest of your weekends!

Day 13. I am pretty tired. I woke up really refreshed! Then, I looked at my phone and there were still two hours left on my sleep soundscapes. So, I’d only been asleep for an hour. 
Ah, well. Finally got back to sleep and then up at 5am. I have been delirious today but we’ve laughed uproariously at some of the things that have come out of my mouth.

I attend a weekly NA zoom meeting where we read and discuss that book. My old home group did the same thing. Its a great book. I highly recommend it.

Day 56. Mom finally got her COVID test results, and they were negative, thankfully. She’s still very very sick and has to go back to the doctor on Monday. I’m very worried about her.
Tomorrow I am having lunch with my dad and stepmom. I’m nervous because my dad is a big drinker, and has a tendency to sort of badger people into drinking. I’m hoping that by choosing lunch rather than dinner, they will have things to do when we’re done, and it will ease the pressure to drink a bit. I’m committed to staying sober, no matter what, but it seems good to make plans that will potentially help my cause.
@Dolse71 and @Seb, congratulations on 60 days! @Lilemm, 120 days is awesome! ( I know I’m late on all of these milestones. Sorry about that.) @RainbowUnicorn, welcome! This is a great place with a lot of really smart, empathetic people who are all going through the same things you are.
