You did good coming back! Go back to your beginning posts and re read. Remind yourself what you have to lose and if you really want to have to start the fuck over. The disapointment when you realize you have to start over again…because while you may be able to “moderate” at first…it never stays that way and you are back to the end of the line. IMO.

That’s so true… it tried to moderate 2 times before going completely sober. Failed twice. I need my sobriety!

Checking in on day 234, hope everyone is doing well.
@anon60334405 HUGE congrats on your 1 year mark today. You have been a true inspiration and I have followed your posts since my first day on TS. I’m so glad you’re doing so well and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.
@cwak I’m a little late to respond because I’m just now catching up with the check-ins from yesterday but man, that post about your wife’s birthday really hit home for me. That is exactly something I would do, and have done on many occasions. Like literally that exact same thing. Drunk before anyone else even wakes up and then it just continued all day.
You aren’t alone, I’ve been there and done that more times than I can count. I am with @SassyRocks when she says that it’s important to remember these reasons why we stopped drinking and keep them as motivation for never going back. Stay strong friend, the past is the past and we are working every day to be better. We’re all in this together.
Have a great day everyone.

860 days??? You know the drill, it’s not going to end like this not today. You got this if your having a bad day flip the switch, take control and choose to have a good day. You got the same 24 hours as all of us so do what you can today, work ain’t going nowhere, tommorow ain’t going nowhere so take it easy and just do what you can do.

Thank you. Yeah, that’s what they tell us. But it’s not true. Our health care has been going down for years, and it doesn’t get any better. Despite our high taxes the health care system is always in a lack of staff, money and proper materials. Unfortunately.
I hope everything is good with you today 
Thd sun is shining here, and at least that’s a good thing.

Soo… My husband just got a doctor’s note from the kids psychiatrist stating that he’s qualified to get government money to stay at home with tweenie. After almost six months. Instantly her mother (who didn’t even wanted to go to today’s meeting) calls and talks about taking tweenie back home so she can get the support check. It would be nice and calm at our place again. But I’m not impressed that her only interest is money. Like always. Well see how it plays out. She still has full custody so she can do however she wants.

It’s been a rough start to my day, not going to work. I don’t know, maybe alcohol isn’t the source of my depression. I’ll get through it because I have to but damn. I’ve had rough days but I haven’t felt this low since before I stopped. Sorry, just rambling, wife’s gone to work, I don’t talk to her anyway, at least about this shit. I want to curl up in a corner. Ok, a little chuckle as I remember the “pardon my scream” thread because that’s where I’m at. Anxiety is killing me. I guess I’ll get my ass dressed and try to be productive. I need to get out of this funk. Thank you for listening, it will get better, just sitting in a pothole at the moment. Gotta make today the best it can be, right? Now I’m crying, WTF is wrong with me? A grown man and I can’t handle my shit! Again, thanks for listening to me ramble, I need to move on.

You’re not alone. I can relate - after numbing with alcohol for so long it takes time (so much time…) to find an equilibrium with feelings and emotions. It is reassuring to hear you share here, thank you for being willing to do that. Hang in there and keep on it, and keep coming back!

Hands down this has been the hardest part of sobriety for me.
