Hello Julia, I might mix it completely up and will be screwed but haven’t you written sth about you upcoming birthday and handling this sober or sth like this? What was the trigger? Would have been helpful to come here before the drink?

I’m so sorry they made you go to the “dark side” 
I hope you get a hang of it. But since you’re switching to Apple, you’re gonna need to change everything else too - your computers, tv, lights, security system and toaster. Just because Apple is only compatible with Apple. Maybe that’s easier than changing your family

@Dolse71 Congratulations on 7 months Paul. You’re kicking ass at kicking ass and I’m glad to have you by my side on this journey.
@Mno Hope you enjoy your time off work and get in some quality you time.
309 days. Didn’t sleep well last night and am up early this morning. Wrote a letter to my ex yesterday forgiving him but explaining the impact his actions had on me & others. Am going to have a great friend review it today and will then decide if/how I’m going to send it to him. Part of me feels relief just getting it out in writing. Today I will find out if I’m the successful candidate for the position I want. I’m sure I’ll have cramps in my fingers and toes by the time I get the call as I can’t seem to cross them tight enough. I’m so ready for this next step in my sober life but will not allow myself to feel defeated should I not get the job.

Day 6.
Hard day today. Had to have a conversation with a friend about my behaviour and a situation I created while drunk. She was lovely. But it was hard. We need to take some space. I’m glad we communicated honestly and openly but oh my god it was difficult and I hate myself for creating such a situation. She is a great friend and our friendship may get back on track. I hope it does. How can I forgive myself for this?

- This week has been so busy and it’s only half way over with. My son has had state testing last week and the next two weeks in which he has to go to school for the tests. He is currently homeschooled and I chose that because of his heart condition. He’s only there for 2 hours max but it still worries me because they stated the social distancing wasn’t going to be in affect because they have so many students coming in. Well we got a letter yesterday stating that they do not have to come and take the tests and it’s our discretion. I’m like ok…but what about him needing this test and it affecting his over all grades. All-n-All it sucks either way. I guess I’m just over it at this point. I want my child to succeed but this whole school year has been crap. I’ve hired a tutor to help him but I still worry he’s not getting the education he really needs. Ok, my rant is over. Lol hope you all have a wonderful day!

Yes you are right. That was my plan. My birthday is on Saturday and I still want to be sober for it. It makes me nervous though when I think of it. I had massive cravings every f*** night. And I came on here. The other day it passed while I was sitting in front of the TV. Yesterday I just couldn’t handle it anymore. I know this is not an excuse… Will get back to meetings. Tonight is the first one in a long time again…

It is really good that you came back right away! I never have booze in the house. Adds some steps and time to think about it. You have f2f meetings already? Have a good time there

254 days no alcohol.
222 days no cocaine.
Had a bit of a bad experience where I was reminded today of my inability to use my voice. It’s left me feeling pretty low compared to how happy I’ve been feeling since moving, but I’ll be okay and my car is now healthy again. Tomorrow I will try to obtain a quote for the bodywork repairs and get those booked in.
All of the deliveries came today so the cats should have a nice break from the buzzer going off for a while now which I’m sure they’ll appreciate.
My WiFi hub arrived today and the internet should get activated tomorrow, so that will be much better

OMG dave this is amazing,

Day 47. Just want to check in and say “hi”. Got the 2nd vax on Monday and felt a little off yesterday. I soldiered through, though, and today I feel good. I haven’t mentioned my SO’s adult (I use that word loosely) daughter is living with us for a while. She tends to get under my skin if I let her. She is very sloppy and that is a pet peeve of mine. Plus she is very loud. Strike 2. And SO gives her so much money all the time. Strike 3, yer out. But, allowing myself to get anxious and annoyed helps nobody, especially myself. I would remove the negativity from my surroundings if I could. But, I can’t so am using her unpleasant presence as an opportunity to develop tolerance and patience.
