Day 16. Feeling rough and emotional. I really tend to work myself to the bone and then crash.
Iām at the crash. Even though I donāt want to drink, Iām not feeling so hot. 
Iāll be okay but Iād rather be home resting instead of work.

Day 44! Well half way through the day! Meetings all morning and now I need to catch up on work.
I was given a gift yesterday of chocolates filled with liquorā¦needless to say they were re-gifted. Even though the site said little to no trace, it still felt like cheating. So goodbye chocolate!
Sending out good vibes to all of you!

Checking in ā¦ the first time in days.
havenāt really been overly busy. Iām not going to overwhelm myself trying to play catch up on this busy thread. I have my important daily routine ofā¦pray, do daily readings and grati-dudes. Connect with healthy family and friends. The winter blahs and stress and depression have been winning a bit lately. I didnāt go to get my weekly covid test, make dinner and join game night. Thatās a sure sign that I am burnt out or depressed or a bit of both. Iām still clean and sober. Not hiding from it, so it is not all bad.
God bless you all.
& 
P.s. Never forget your awesomeness. Ya you!!

- Finding it hard to stay focused on anything at work. I think I may be using TS as an escape too much. I listened to speaker tapes while I worked and that seemed to help. Iām trying to keep going with my steps but Iām definitely lacking the energy that I had a few days ago. I was struggling just to find a few things to be grateful for last night.
My office has been overflowing with grown-man-drama-tantrums and Iāve been working from home as much as I can as a result. Even going for a walk with my wife today had me grumpy.

87 days. Friday will be 90. I think my wife and I will find a way to celebrate. For the first time, she asked me if I was having cravings. I said no, but then began pondering if it was true or not. I havenāt had an āI want alcoholā thought in a long while, but there are āmini urgesā from time to time. The bigger temptation right now is thinking that I have this problem beat, which I DO NOT. So many good things have come out of sobriety. Why would I ever want to screw it up? Itās not about that though. Itās about building a life where I donāt need alcohol, and I honestly donāt think Iām there yet. My past continues to haunt me every single day. Suicidal thoughts are constantly lurking. Iām failing to make healing a priority. Just an honest confession. Grateful for all of you. Talk again tomorrow.

Day 232.
Had today been 8 months ago? Gak. Just one glass of wine. The size of my house. It was rarely about 1 glass of wine. (The little demon in my mind that still, on occasion, tries to lure me back with that ājust oneā line? I made him put his hand on the bible and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, etcā¦ and that sent him skulking away.)
Gonna tuck in earlier this week - need more sleep, and also more me-time during the work week (is it still a āsocial lifeā if you spend it alone at home in a pandemic? 
no matter - i need my journal/dog walks/yoga/writing classes time). So Iām going to reverse engineer the day to guard this time, and that should enforce healthy boundaries around work.
For those of us in winter? Or approaching a milestone? Or the completion of some long steep slog? Or the end of Day 1? The toughest part is the last 20%. Someone said that - and Iām too tired to remember who - but itās turned out accurate for other things in my life, so I think it applies here too. Letās not give up. Weāve come so far. Even if this is your Day 1.
We did it - another day. And weāre gonna do another one tomorrow.
Gānight, beautiful people.
