That happened to me about six months in.
Bad argument with the wife had me driving to the gas station to buy booze, then I saw a crowd of faces in my mind’s eye, all staring at me with reproving looks. All the guys off here.
I drove straight past and went home.

Glad you are back!! I’ve disappeared for 2 years and am now back and on day 10! It doesn’t matter how, when or why you came back. The fact that your back speaks volumes! You’ve got this! Love and light :v:

reminds me of when I got to have a cup of tea in Costa for the first time in 20 years, she said she wasn’t used to hearing I love you so when I left and was about to walk out the door I shouted across the cafe ‘Chantelle I love you’ and just left her there either happy or embarrassed :grin:Tell your kids you love them as often as you can, surely that’s all any of us want in life is to know we are loved.

I think it’s super dope (are we allowed to use this term of endearment here?) that you were able to acknowledge and work throughout the fear and it resulting in a successful meeting. Our sobriety makes us stronger. I wish you the best of luck in your business.

900 is representative of all of the “todays” you chose yourself. Very admirable. Well done!

This is for food, not alcohol, but I am happy about it. I am not binging and trying not to swing the other way to starving. So far so good. Can’t help weighing myself all the time and doing endless calculations, tho, if I lose this much weight a week I can be this weight at this time, if I lose that much weight a week I can be that weight at that time, etc, over and over.

I know I’m still a baby in sobriety, but this feels really good. I just want to say thank you to everyone here. You’ve all been so supportive and coming on here every day has made me feel so much less alone as I choose not to drink day after day.
