Hahaha, yeah, I probably used my last social skill to trick my non drinking husband to marry my drunk self 
. Iām scared but a new sponsor is better than no sponsor.

Found one of our two cats dead at the side of the road earlier. Weāve had them about 6 years now. Iām heartbroken. My 2 eldest girls are away today and Iām dreading telling them later on.
Iām sharing here because Iām not good when dealing with strong emotions.

I am sorry. That must be awful. It is good you come here, ride the emotions out. A drink wonāt help with it.

I dunno about that. You came here. That shows some real insight and wisdom.
Sending you strength, the right words when you talk to your girls, and some comfort in the midst of grief. We only get through this kind of stuff togetherā¦

I havenāt checked in for a really long time but wanted to do a quick one tonight.
Day 135. Iām loving life here in Budapest and have just started my new job. Iāve been socialising a lot, but have proudly told people I donāt drink (after encouragement from people on here to just own my choice)
I love it more than I thought I would. And not having a single hangover or worry about drunken behaviour makes it all the sweeter.

383 days no alcohol.
351 days no cocaine.
5 days no binge-eating.
Today has been a bit easier after managing to get some more sleep last night, the only problem was I kept dreaming about food and waking up craving the things Iād been eating in my dreams, one of which was an entire birthday cake! Luckily, I have been saving my last limited edition birthday cake flavour shake for the right moment, I knew Iād need it one day, so I had that and it sorted the craving right out.
One urge that Iāve acted on today was an urge to go swimming, the sun was shining and I wasnāt even trying to force myself or anything, so when the urge came out of nowhere, I got changed, and went. I felt terrified, hyper vigilant, and vulnerable the whole time and didnāt enjoy it at all 
still, Iām glad so went, hoping to get more urges now but earlier in the day than today.

I thought TS people would appreciate this.
So, when typing, there are always those 3 words at the bottom that your phone anticipates you typing based on history so it can auto fill for you. Well, was texting someone and I typed āI am notā and the next word the phone anticipated me typing was ādrinking.ā I thought that was a pretty good win for the day!!

Trying to not be so anxious over here about the voices in my head saying one or two to loosen up for an event tonight and just let the noise exist without falling victim to its persuasionā¦

14 hours is good and maybe this is how you need to go about recovery bc for some people a day is too much, break it down into smaller chunks. I remember when I just had to sit and do nothing for a few minutes at a time bc if I moved from the chair I was going to go get a drink.

Thatās it Lauren. 100%. One or two would lead to many more and I know you know it. You got this and we got you. Good youāre here.

No such thing as moderation for people like us Iām afraid, we test the waters now and again and think maybe we were exaggerating the whole thing, turns out we were alcoholics after all.
