Day 16 
No hard cravings today - YES! 
Enjoying my very calm and clear mind
and thoughts 
2200m swim in the early morning 
Main meal was Sate chicken with
basmati rice and salad.
Looooong healing Siesta Nap.
Nice and helpful conversation with mum.
Bit of gardening.
Dinner with sourdough bread and fresh cucumber from garden 
That was my recovering day 
Now back home and just chilling and making some plans for new week 
Take care 
I’m glad the weekend went good and I’m glad you’re looking forward to going back!
I can’t reply to 3 people in a row on one forum so this is for the check in forum
@Butterflymoonwoman This means a lot, thank you. You’re the
best
@Alisa I’m sorry about your step father. And I’m sorry that someone was so rude about it. No one deserves that. I have younger cousins but other than his daughter, I make an effort to make sure they are never alone with him. I worry about his daughter, I tried to talk to her mom but I got laughed at. Thank you for your kind words. This post means a lot .
@Misokatsu thank you. I still feel like it was my fault a lot of the time but logically I think it’s been sinking in that I was a child and there really wasn’t much of a choice in the situation
Thanks @Piglet86 , I’ll look and see if I can get that where I am. I think I am finally confronting my anxiety and I never realised how much it impacted my life.
Finding life hard when after 3 weeks a black out came on.
I wish I knew how to quit this and love my life
Hangxiety is ruining things for me.
It’s scaring me.
I really really really really feel like I need to stop.
Why can’t I find a way to drink moderately?
Day 7:crescent_moon:
Just checking in 
Good night 
Hi everyone, I’m back at my place (hopefully soon to be NOT my place) in Italy, after a rather tedious drive through the Alps. The tunnel is definitely the way to go, the pass through the mountains is tedious, twisting, slow, crowded… and somewhat nerve-wracking !! I did stop at one point and take a couple of photos, I’ll post them (if I can figure out how to do so) from my phone.
But for now… off to bed.
Goodnight, all.
Probably because you may be an alcoholic. Like almost everyone on here if we could do moderation we would. I have a stop and go button, no inbetween.
I’m working hard at stopping at the moment. I know I am because it is bloody hard. Only you can change things.
Hi Kat here checking in Day 64.
Life is good although trying to program my new universal remote is a PITA. Lol.
Worked my 5th of 10 days in a row (8hr days) today. Did make a Zoom NA meeting last night and will make an in-person tonight it’s someone awesome’s 10 year celebration.
Thinking of you all especially the survivors of sexual abuse among us.
Kat
Checking on for day 13
Thanks. I wish I could be moderate, sometimes I can! The sad fact is I just take it too far! I’m 30 now, I think maybe my drinking days need to be behind me
Checking in on day 8
Today a friend came over to my place. We went to the pool in the afternoon, and had a (delicious 5000 kcal) pizza in the evening! I’m not good at socializing, so for me this was a big step in the right direction. We used to be really close, but after I stopped drinking I stopped hanging out with her (we used to drink together). She didn’t drink tonight out of respect (didn’t ask her to, it was her free choice) I didn’t drink neither! It was a good day! 
These words gave me strength but you gotta practice them not just read em… Acceptance, humility, unselfishness, prayer, love.
Oh, wonderful! Big congratulations! And outside of being sober, you have been working hard on yourself in many areas. You deserve to feel proud of yourself. 
Truly amazing… Nice mug… at least your not one anymore… oh and well done 
inspirational.

Day 174
Today has been hard honestly. Emotionally and mentally draining. Work was hard in many ways. Began with me being moved last minute to another client who wasnt in good space and refusing meds. After talking with her once I got there, she took her meds thankfully. But 2 things happened where my flight or fight response was in high gear which made my anxiety skyrocket. I’m okay thankfully and am on my way home from work. But I don’t understand why they have no PPE for this client and why I was single staffed. A small urge came up to use but will obviously not go thru with it. It’s just a thought bcuz I am feeling triggering emotion. Anyway, I am really considering a nice Epson salt bath tonight. Hope everyone is having a great day.
