2nd check in. Just back in after a first meal in ages with friends I had not seen since last year. Was dreading it, not because I would find it hard, but because I am in quiet mode at the moment, lots of thinking and reflection not in socialising mood. But I went. Really enjoyed, they all had alcohol including wine my ex tipple I did not flinch. Drank my lime and soda, explained truthfully why I was not drinking. Was lovely to receive positive responses… I did feel a little proud. They stayed in the pub and I left, drove home sober and with money still in my purse.
Little steps

Recovery makes us compassionate even in a situation where our previous selfishness would have built a resentment for something like delaying our vacation. I’ll say a prayer that this bottom brings her into a state of reasonableness.

Love reading this, Marie. Can identify with so much of it. Driving home with money in your pocket heading for a good sleep and a clear headed morning is just the best, isn’t it?! It never even occurred to me that it was possible until recently.

Had fantasies about drinking today, after something stressful happened. Reminded myself that it just means getting sick and that’s it. I never wake up the next day saying, boy I’m glad I drank all that wine! I always regret it. Trying to “maintain focus.” Went on a long walk after work with my wife and dog. Beautiful evening. Except for tiptoeing over the cicadas.

Day 5 today and restarting my ssri’s TN before bed. Excited to get some emotional stability back and have this anxiety lessen a bit. Feeling super grateful today.
Edit: the thought of being sick for the next week from starting my pills upsets me more than all the hangovers I would willingly give myself. My brain’s messed
