Good morning. 98 days. I’m feeling extremely unsettled … almost like that feeling you have when you don’t know what you did last night. But I haven’t had alcohol, and I didn’t do anything. Very anxious and angry today.

I’m using nicroette gum it helps me when I have cravings.
I chuckled to myself when I read your thread as I too have that same competive nature within myself. I don’t want to let myself down either. See you around. 1 day at a time.

Day 323. I am getting ready to start my retirement job 
on Monday. I retired from my last job in mid February and took a few weeks off. I wish I was the type to be able to sit around the house and do nothing, but I’m not …yet. I also know me well enough that I have to stay busy. Boredom gets me into "stinking thinking ". So here’s to another career…

I don’t know where you are but can you get outside? Go to the library? Drinking is such a waste of a beautiful day!

I had a similar period, my mind didn’t shut off for a second, rage took over, I lost control of myself, that whole phase is blurred, I didn’t have a single minute in peace. I couldn’t control myself, constantly punched the wall and the table, kicked the wall so hard, that I broke my toe, went walking to find someone who I can fight with, even knowing that I would be beaten up. I wanted to feel something physical, pain or anything intense, because I thought that otherwise I would just go crazy.
I’m writing this just to let you know, you’re not alone with it, don’t blame yourself for losing control or feeling totally lost. Try to find every occasion to let this rage out, get yourself tired, connect to others and don’t try to solve your problem while having this phase. Focus on today. You will survive today and tomorrow you will work on surviving tomorrow. With a little bit of time you will get to know these angry feelings, you will know when they come and you will be able to handle them, and after some time they will start to fade away. Your mind will clear up, won’t be so exhausted and you will have time and possibility to work on your personal issues. Hang tight!

Hello again, all. Checking in sober at the end of day 55. Another sober Saturday. Love it.
Had a nice, simple, relaxing sober day today. Woke up early and hangover free. Did a bit of reading, a bit of driving kids around, and even caught a bit of sun. Ate breakfast, lunch and dinner instead of skipping meals to stack up a calorie deficit for the minimum two bottles of wine that I would have inevitably drunk on a normal Saturday night. Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Day 390. Got a good work out when I got home yesterday, I was a little grouchy with my girls. Staying accountable, staying grateful. I’m obsessing over these deadlifts, they are so hard and I can’t for the life of me keep my spine neutral when I go into position, idk what the fuck I’m doing wrong. And the kid I lift with is good at telling me I’m doing it wrong, but can’t really tell me what to do to fix it. Which is fine I get it he just may not know. Anyways gonna hope on the treadmill for a little bit. Monday I will go to pay the rest of my court fee which is 900 dollars and then I will officially not owe any courts money and will have paid a total of 4500 dollars. Then I need to send the 100 dollars into the dmv and see if they will give me my license back. It’s been 8 years I hope they say yes. Don’t drink and drive kids 3 dwis is no fun

You’re really helping me along today with this. Thank you for your kind words and wisdom here. Learning that “one day at a time” goes far beyond abstaining from alcohol.

Yeah, I dont want to let myself down!! Congratulations on being 12 days without alcohol, too. Im 1 day away from 1 week without vaping and I cant determine if it has felt really long or super short. I havent looked into the gum, but with the way my cravings hit maybe I should. Sometimes they hit and it makes my jaws kinda clench because that’s how bad my body wants it. I quit cold turkey, so my body was pretty funky the first 3 days. Im just now starting to feel “normal.”

Day 14 for me! Tomorrow will be a full two weeks since I’ve had a drink. Not bad for someone who’s drank almost every single day for over 45 years! It’s still a struggle, but I have a lot of support from my husband who is a recovering alcoholic (5 years sober March 28). Have a blessed day!
