Day 11 - Today has been tough in a strange sort of way. In contrast to yesterday I feel like I tried to take on too much. I have a habit of physically doing task A, whilst actually thinking about Task B at the same time, or just wandering off and doing Task B, C and D instead of task A. Focus has not been my friend recently!
Today I spent a lot of the day making phone calls and dealing with the flat purchase. It turns out the new flat has no gas supply and is entirely powered by electric. Which is expensive, however what isnāt at the moment? I did a bit of research and spoke to some people and got myself comfortable with the idea, as it seems 90% of properties in my price range have electric heating. Still it took up most of my mental capacity to do that today whilst trying to keep the plates spinning at work.
I also realised I had been keeping a big lost of things to do in my head and hadnāt written them down or organised them into an action plan.
The result of all this was that I came home tonight and was within a whisker of relapsing. It was a wake up call and I have made some changes already so that this evening will be easier.
It is always there, waiting, my addiction. But I will persevere and try to change things when they arenāt working.
I hope you all have a good sober day

Well we will all be here, happy whenever you DO get back.
I was once at 90 days and then ādisappearedā for almost two years !!!
But things are going all right for now. Still, itās odd not to hear from you @maxwell ! I do hope that youāll be back soon.
Otherwise, all is quietā¦ not quite so ridiculously hot here in N.Italy these days, though Iām looking forward to getting back to Switzerland on Saturday.
I have to admit that I have been giving some though to those 6 bottles of red wine that I found in my basementā¦ itās seldom easy !!
Have a good evening, all.

Day 5
I was hardly triggered by people surrounding me in a āBiergartenā drinking cold white wine, yesterday ā¦ We had a therapy group meeting there.
I was there with my bike and struggled to stop at a shop to buy something on my way back.
This evening, after a call with my mother, I am having cravings again.
Yesterday I did 2000 meters of swimming in 45 minutes, a bit of walking and 24 km by bike.
I ate regularly, did meditationā¦
Today I managed a few things and was at the dentist for a check-up.
Anyway, day is not over.
Think I will just watch some bullshit in TV

Pushing through another day . Been Sad Lately and really stuck in my head . I know it will pass when itās ready ā¦ on a positive note a finally found a room to rent and the other roommates happen to be sober and involved with AA. Where I live it has been difficult to find a room without a lease and just in general itās been hard but finally found this room and turns out they didnāt want alcohol or drugs in the house so this is perfect. The first part of my sobriety was with my cousin in Tucson then recently home in Florida at my parents ā¦ I think being back on my own will really help my mental health and maybe feel better . If I keep staying sober my credit will repair and I will get better jobs and eventually can get a apartment or house of my own . Damn things have been hard Lately but I think God has my back and has a plan for me . I can recover . I can contribute to this world . I can make something with my life . It doesnāt have to go the way I thought it would . Im turning this around !! Since November 1st . Hope everyone is hanging in there . Thank you everyone for your post and words ā¦ this community really does help . Iām glad I can be honest . I glad there is so many people I can relate to
