I know it sucks but it will pass like a wave just keep checking in and we all will get you through this. I experience the same waves of depression and I can tell you from my experience that it does pass. Proud of you for reaching out!

Ah yes nothing is more true - I think it’s easy and honest to say health. I have been just saying my medication doesn’t agree with booze right now which is also true as my Citalopram really does make my hangovers bad and drunkenness bad.
Ah man, how is everyone finding this impending variant spread? It’s definitely making me want to go out and have a night in a pub (only because freedom is threatened to be taken away) and I really am nervous about that. I was fine not drinking much or at all in the previous lock downs but I am now struggling with all the cancellations about life. I was excited for a party this weekend and had been staying healthy and fit and planned my outfit and hair. It was giving me extra motivation to stay sober and now I feel like throwing the towel in but I won’t.
Just need to put another milestone or event in its place even if it’s a dinner with my partner.
How is everyone doing with December? I think reading a memoir about alcoholism really helps to remind me what I don’t miss and what I could have become.
Day by day.
When do you guys feel the health benefits of this? I don’t think I feel as good as I did the first time I went sober. Now I just feel starved of sugar and a bit hungry. A bit unsatisfied. Will that wain?
Day 15. Despite my complaints, happy to be sober.

490 days no alcohol.

51 days no nicotine.
Sorry for missing a few days. Depression can suffocate me away from all of my usual daily activities very quickly. I had my next treatment on my feet this morning so I had to force myself to shower early and afterwards I was up and about, so I managed to watch some TV this afternoon, and catch up on my meditations, and tonight I said to myself I’m not going to sleep until I’ve caught up with sobriety. My phone screen is half hanging off so I’ve had no choice but to upgrade early, more expense because of this, hoping it doesn’t lose function completely before the new phone arrives in 3-5 days 
My car also broke down today but I have recovery cover with my insurance so I made it home eventually, will get my car looked at another day. Been bingeing again since Saturday, not feeling good about it.
It’s a belated photo because I caught it Sunday morning, I was determined to catch it and anxious for a few days over it… 
Also caught this one at the weekend…

Congrats on day 15! Just remember our inner addict is poking for a weak spot so we’ll give in to drink. We aren’t used to dealing with stresses without numbing all the jarring input from this chaotic world. Covid variants stories are very jarring. The news stories from the horrific tornado that traversed 4 states and over 200 miles nearly did me in tonight. So much tragedy and pain. I’m usually more careful with watching the news but it sucked me in. I like your reading idea and I think I’ll employ that tactic. No more news!

Day 143
I’ve come to realize that I need to become more active in connecting with others. I participate with my AA homegroup but stuggle to contribute at other meetings. Leaning into the discomfort helpsy progress in my recovery but also makes me feel scared and vulnerable. Its something I continue to work on each and every day.
Life is unpredictable which is something this alcoholic cant stand. Predictability and control were always my expectation. Im glad that today I know that I’m not the one running the show.
I hope everyone had a great day. Much love!
