Day 14 ~ 2 weeks Milestone

Not the greatest party feeling,
Cravings since yesterday in the late evening instead :roll_eyes:

Thinking about controlled trinkingā€¦ Once a week or twice a month. I knowā€¦ Addictive mind. Not sure if I will stay strong.

Day 17
Hello friends, today is day 17 of making a change for the better!! I feel like Iā€™m proving to myself and others that this is something I can do!, went painting yesterday with a good friend had a picnic by the fountain and made a baby elephant to put up in the nursery for the baby. Home life is still bad, S/O stayed at this guys house after the first date. Her continuous actions of seeing different guys and staying at there places while carrying my child is making me disgusted by her and trying not to let the hate settle in but. Itā€™s settling. Anyways another day sober take care friends.

Hey congrats on your 2 week milestone. I been down the road of controlled drinking way more than once. It always start out just like your saying. Iā€™m only gonna have a 12 pack just for tonight, Iā€™ll only by this case because i ainā€™t got nothing to do today. Before I knew it I was back to throwing empty little bottles of whiskey or SoCo out the car window while I was on my way back from another daily beer run, and than finding the bigger ones empty hidden in the garage weeks later. So for me itā€™s all or nothing. I donā€™t know if you can control drinking but apparently 14 days ago something told you that you couldnā€™t or you probably wouldnā€™t have joined the community. Stay strong just for today. Youā€™re doing great. :muscle::green_heart:

Thank you Jas!
Yes I rememberā€¦ And I remember how fast I can drink a whole bottle of white wine on iceā€¦ And not stay at one glassā€¦ Even not on one bottleā€¦ In the end 2 or more on one evening were regular basis.
Yes I remember the bad body feeling, damaging things and myself, creating chaos and arguing.
Thanks for reminder :pray:

Today I am in a good mood and mentally alert, but am impatient with everything and everyone. Need to calm down and complete one task at a time, dialing up the toleration. Alcohol will not make me more patient. Maybe looking for something humorous in each situation might help too.

Its hard when my depression affects my work. I wish i could be honest with my coworkers. I have to be humble and admit my mistakes. I will and can do better. Its just hard when im learning and my coworker whos been there 4 years makes me feel like shes better than me. Like bro, i only know so much after being her 2 months. Im smart. Im capable and willing.

@BrianP I love history, old buildings I absolutely need to be doing this visiting castles going to historical places and learning the history of it.
Just waiting to find the right person to go with, that is into that stuff too otherwise they will just be bored if they are not into this. I love the pictures you post of your land.

@anon53116147 your doing absolutely brilliant my friend. Have a lovely weekend.
66 days you have come so far im so proud.

@Piglet86 congratulations on your 42 day :slightly_smiling_face: love reading your posts, your very supportive and caring Iā€™m so glad your here.

@Butterflymoonwoman hey I hope everything is good with you and your boy.
I have been lurking around here the past few days posting the odd supportive post, feel a little decline in my mental health so just taking it easy one day at a time. If you ever need me Iā€™m here :orange_heart:

@KatoBaggels congratulations on your 17 days, your doing amazing considering your situation. But you are doing this all for the right reasons, your child. Iā€™m not too familiar with your story are you both separated?
Please dont feel you need to tell me, this is your safe place and me asking is coming from a caring place. I just worry your being taken advantage of and I think of you and hope your okay.

@Juli1 hi, maybe you could hop on to an online meeting or face to face. Your doing so well 2 weeks is amazing. Meetings are so powerful to help ease cravings and get more support especially when your feeling like using.
This way you can make sure you stay strong.
You have us, and perhaps a meeting listening to other experiences could help so much.
I know It has for me and saved lives of many others.
Iā€™m terrified of relapse, so many people are killed by this disease and I dont think I have another relapse in me, this is my moment right now and I have to dig for reasons I am gratefull and look at how my life improves each day I am sober.
You can get through this :slightly_smiling_face:

@Cjp hang in there my friend, this time will pass, just hope its quicker for you.
Iv not been myself the past week either just been lurking around reading here with the odd post but I am here if you need me.

@maxwell how are your doing? :slightly_smiling_face::hugs:
Thinking of you.

Congratulations to everyone here today, thank you all for being so supportive, the powerful haling energy we share between eachother cant be put into words but is definitely felt.
Have a good day :slightly_smiling_face:
