Day 2.
After a week of so heavily binging on wine that I do not remember the end of most nights… nor the conversations on the phone/texts.
Went for a walk with my dog and a quick visit to my dad’s house and declined the wine offer. Told him straight up I feel I drink to much, am not happy about it and am quiting.
I feel proud and relieved. Spent an hour or two talking and playing a game, ice tea in hand. Previously I would have drank a bottle of wine and most likely topped it of with gin&tonics before dragging myself home hours later.
I think about it a lot, but am getting out of the foggy feeling a little bit. Do find myself to be agitated quickly and tired. Anyway… small count, but I am proud of my little steps.

That’s a huge victory Carmen! Huge congrats on surviving that and on owning up to your dad. Good and right you’re proud, I am of you too! Whatever the count sober for the day is all that matters. Tiredness and irritability comes with the territory. It will pass. Keep going, you’re doing great!

Sober. And I’m not drinking today.
Living the dream
to recover is to create a life in which numbness is no longer necessary for survival
Stay sober folks. We’re worth it.

Hey, @Tomek. I’m doing alright. I worked until almost eight last night, so all I could do was come home and go to sleep. Still feeling pretty blue today, but I’m just trying to keep going. Thanks for checking in on me!

Doing a quick check in. Been really tired today and out of it. I had a wicked real using dream last night and woke up thinking I really fucked up, it was definitely more real feeling then any using dream I’ve had before. @Dan531 was in it trying to get me to stop, I must say you don’t look good with a purple mohawk dan lol.
I did still go see me friend last night it’s not triggering being around them, I can actually laugh a little with them these guys have been in my life since I was 13 so there was a relationship before the drinking. But if was wild my friend didn’t change even a little bit for being in jail 8 months, like how do you not have some sort of spiritual awaking when your alone that long by yourself with your thoughts everyday and life just doesn’t eat at you for the shit you did. I didn’t suggest or hint anything. I’ll show my face every now and again but make sure I have boundaries and safe escapes for me Everytime.

Day 363~ Checking in. Nothing is going right today. Not a good day. Started with getting only 2 hours of sleep the night before to an emotional morning followed by my car getting side swiped while on my break from my normal 9-5 doing an ice cream delivery for the shop. Oh and followed by getting into with the spouse. So ya today was wicked fucking awesome. 
I’m fucking drained I could literally stab something. Sorry that’s what comes to mind. I need to clear my mind and get this negative energy out. I need for people not to fucking SUCK. Ok sorry I’m acting ridiculous I know. I’m just so stressed and not feeling the way I want to. Luckily tomorrow is a new day.
Stay strong keep that fire 
going. We will have days like these but they don’t last.
