Im the stupidest person ever. I drank for No good reason. I let my self down, my Kids and special my daugther. Only thing I learnd, is I really dont want or need my husband anymore, aswell as its Just the one drink I need to say No to. He is not what I tougth or hoped he would be in my life.

@Freckles @Seb welcome back both 
@apes2020 @Bigbear congrats on 3 weeks both🎉
@Bomdhil congrats on double digits 
@GVLNative congrats on your soberversary 
280 days no alcohol.
248 days no cocaine.
I had the worst nightmares last night, a lot of my worst fears were played out. Grateful that this doesn’t happen too often though.
My GP surgery have agreed to let me stay there as a patient 
That was a nice message to start this new week.
I took myself to the cinema today, on their day of reopening, to see Nomadland, it wasn’t quite what I was expecting, it actually made me quite sad, but it was nice to get out of my flat for a couple of hours. Going to go and see Sound of Metal another day soon too, need to get my membership sorted out though because it won’t let me log in even though I’ve reset my password, luckily the cinema agreed to let me pay over the phone at the door but only as a one-off because I was already there.
I was going to have a nap when I got home so I took my glasses off, but then I’ve been scrolling on my phone for a couple of hours instead so I now have a migraine 
Looking forward to a triple meditation before bed to catch up for the day

335 days. Yesterday went from bad to worse and I’m just going to leave it behind me. Still not feeling the greatest today and I’m thankful I don’t have to work. Doing some cleaning and laundry and plan to enjoy a lengthy nap after lunch.

- Once upon a time, the last few hours of work would drag by. Craving what beer I would drink, what bar I would have “dinner at”. All those years, decades, I thought I was enjoying life. I was captive to a substance that was slowly destroying me.
I am looking back today, because work is dragging by…now, I cannot wait to get home and spend a quite night with my other half.
I got thinking about all this, reading relapse threads today.
If I could go back in time, not that it would help…I would express what a waste of Life I was living.
Active addiction, breeds bullshit thought processes. Bullshit out looks on life. Addiction has one purpose in life…to keep using your DOC.
If you find yourself stuck in the cycle, and cant get out. Seek help. Swallow your ego, your pride…raise your hand and ask for help. Something better awaits!
Stay sober friends!

Day 5 down. Today was one of the first mild tests and reminders that no matter how confident I am, a lifetime of drinking habits can play tricks on me. It was the first test cuz I wasn’t at work and it was just a “getting stuff done” day. Could easily have made an excuse like I used to to leave the house and buy alcohol but i didn’t. My amazing wife could sense something i think and had a chat with me, which allowed me to talk it out and cement my resolve. Day 5 down. 14 will be my longest spell of abstinence for 15 years. I’m confident and excited, whilst enjoying the present moment and all the benefits sobriety brings to my life

progress not perfection. Be on your guard for the next few days bc experience has taught me I was OK so I’ll just have another. Suddenly life turns shit again.

It happens and it happens often. For you it happened Wakiki. No use lamenting the past. Learn from it and make a plan for the future instead. Sorry for the realization about your husband. By the sound of it it might be for the better. Hugs. Success.
