Checking in on day 51 and I’m craving a drink. More than one. I’ve got to keep my mind occupied and away from alcohol. Even though I’d really really want to drink.

Why do you want to drink Jonathan? Understanding that might be the key to defeating the urge. Don’t give in!

Evening check in, still 95 days. Been to work, got home and made dinner. After dinner it hit me, the anxiety! Heavy pressure in my head. Discomfort and unplesant pressure in solar plexus, feeling like pain in my chest, left side of course. Makes my health anxiety spin, is this my anxiety or am I going to die now. What a monday blues.

How are everyone’s monday going?

4am Tuesday :woman_facepalming: Reading as I can’t get back to sleep, alarm goes off in about an hour for morning exercise so doing some reading and will get up a little earlier and start.
Day 5, it’s been a while since I’ve been on this day, besides the lack of sleep I’m feeling good. My first mini goal is 7 days. I’m feeling breaking it down is making it easier and I’m rewarding myself with things I need, day 7 is sneakers as mine are starting to get holes :flushed:.
Ok back to the book, have a great day !!!

I obviously need my glasses, I read that as houses not horses. I’ve found I’ve been more productive while being sober, finally tackling that procrastination list hahaha

I’ve noticed for me it’s like 80% boredom that makes me want to drink! Been playing a lot of video games lately to kill all the hours I would’ve been drinking.

Day 20!

Before I relapsed I also had missed these things, although missing them wasn’t my main reason to drink. But the relapse was quick, I felt this “getting slowly drunk” feeling for about five minutes and the drinks taste was rather bad. I was badly wasted within an hour or so, couldn’t walk, threw up a lot, it was none of what I had expected. It was a really bad experience and a total disappointment. I learnt, that it never will be the same, I not only cannot drink as a „normal” drinker, but I cannot even drink as I used to do, as an alcoholic. I can drink only as a relapsing alcoholic, which is a sped-up trip to the hell I used to be. Devouring those drinks just increased my thirst, this eternal hunger within me, as if I drank saltwater, it made me realize that there was no hope for lessen that void with anything external.
