Thank you. Holiday booked for mid August (if we get to go due to covid) will be so happy if I can still be sober by then! Taking it day by day and trying not to think too far ahead, but really want that to be my first ever alcohol free holiday!

Its Friday. Usually the day I drink a bottle of whiskey. Haven’t bought one yet. But I’m sure there’s plenty of time in the day left to talk myself into it.
day 60…I’m awake its 5.30am. I went to bed early last niggt , at about 8.30pm. I was so tired yesterday. I think it was a cross between the full moon energy and me playing with baby all day. I was physically so exhausted. I watched Thor and fell asleep in the middle of it. I never fall asleep in the middle of a movie. It was kinda nice to feel tired coz I am such a manic hypo energetic person all the time, it was nice to fell zonked and calm… Its Saturday, house cleaning chore day

Hey fam!
Just checking in on another day! Getting everything prepared to begin the Keto diet in mid feb which was recommended to me by my doctor. Super excited to see some change in my physical health as well as emotional/mental health. I’m not getting much support with this as many people believe it to be a “fad” diet but I won’t know if it works for me unless I try. I’m doing ok recovery wise also. Money is still a major trigger for me so I’m trying to make changes around that. Working at my job alot lately which is keeping me busy. I’m trying to rebuild my reliability with my supervisors as I used to call in alot for various reasons. So I’ve been pushing myself to come into work Other than that things are ok. Have tomorrow off which will be kept busy by cleaning. Today is a good day!

I wish that I weren’t, however…
And lots of reasons to talk yourself OUT of it. If you’ll forgive me for repeating myself from previous posts, what’s so great about alcohol ?
Just as a thought, do you know what would happen if you drank 500 ml of STRAIGHT water, milk, juice… or even Coke, all in one go ? Other than feeling a bit bloated, perhaps, NOTHING would happen.
Try that with 500 ml of STRAIGHT alcohol… you would probably be dead before getting to the end of the 500 ml. So why not drink gasoline ? The end result would be the same.
So is alcohol REALLY so wonderful ?

Maybe you can try and explain how you feel for a friend or a family member that’s close to you, and at least get a hug?
Or try one of those pillows that are supposed to mimic another person holding you? I know it’s not the same, but I thought it might work anyway?
I bought one of those for my husband so he can have it when I’m not sleeping next to him. Which I most often don’t, because I want space to move around, and no who’s snoring in my ear or stealing my pillows 
Anyway, I hope you feel better soon

Some of it with Fridays is that it’s always been the day my friends and I play games and generally just screw around.
A lot of times we just get online and joke around. Its basically just become an online bar at this point with games being there to keep us busy while we hang out.
So if I get online I just want to drink with them and do what we usually do.
Like I said, there’s more to it than just wanting to drink with my friends, but that’s a part of the Friday problem.

They all know that I’ve been stopping here and there and don’t really care one way or the other. A few of them are aware they have a drinking problem as well. So they wouldn’t give me any business about it.
Longest I went last year was about 4 months, I think. And it just felt like life was taking forever. So I basically just thought “whatever” and started up again. And now we’re here again.
Most people think I should stop.
