Reminds me of my neighbor when I try to explain it to him. "Have you ever tried to… you know… not drink? “Wow! I would have never thought of that! Thank you for solving all of my problems instantly!” 
But you’re doing awesome, Dana, keep it up!
That’s a beautiful place! Isn’t that where they filmed the ending of Inferno?
@BrianP Sounds like fun, I may do that myself. Go gentle on that ankle!
@anon53116147 Noticing your behavior and thinking is the important part. Keep fighting it!
Weird dreams happen in early recovery. And nicotine patches crank up the fun level! 
@Lorelai That’s a fantastic tribute, hang in there!
@mx_elle We do believe in you, we’ve all been there before. 
Day 22½ Woke up after being up and down all night long, got an appointment to run to, but I thought I’d check in early today since I didn’t do it for real yesterday. Everybody have a great sober Wednesday! I’ll be back later!

You are absolutely right. If my husband still used or even took up something else like drinking (oddly enough he’s never had a sip of alcohol in his life due to family stuff), either I wouldn’t be clean (or really struggling to stay clean), or I would’ve left him. I’ve been in relationship with those that still used or drank, while I have been working on my recovery and the relationship never worked out. Along with me relapsing in the end. So I am grateful. I understand that he doesn’t understand. And I’ve never really told him what I do everyday for my recovery either. Idk why I’ve never brought it up to him. Never the opportunity to talk about it I guess. I definitly need the support!! Thats without a doubt. And even tho I didn’t go to mtgs where I currently live, I spent 9 years in the rooms back home and I definitely took everything I learned from Big Book studies and from reading the Big Book etc. And then of course without you all on TS… idk where I’d be honestly. I truly don’t. I don’t think I would’ve gotten thru some of the hardest times without u all! I don’t think I’d be where I am today in my recovery if it wasn’t for u all. Grateful for u Alisa and for everyone here!!!

It must be hard to feel “trapped” in your job. I don’t know what I’d do for work either if I didn’t do my current job. I’m sure there are other short courses you could take to start something new?? I mean I don’t really have any suggestions, but there must be some other options

I didn’t sneak it into the house, I just brought it back to Plattsburgh to this guy’s friends house. The staff doesn’t care what we do outside the house. But no they wouldn’t want it in the house. So I had the guy meet me at the gym and he brought it to his friends house. So it was snuck back in a sense which I wasn’t happy about. I’m already in the process of getting it back home and told on myself one of the councilors

Hey Rob,

Checking in. It’s been awhile.
No extra added sugar 2 Weeks
Been busy and doing really well since my last check in. I’m grateful for my Al-Anon meetings. I’m grateful to be blessed to be working 2 recovery programs. I’m grateful I have those programs. I may not follow them exactly but I will have them. I’m grateful I love and live with a constant reminder I never want to go back to drinking again.
I’m grateful to know this to be true 
Once alcohol is in the system the body wants more. The desire to drink gets the first drink in. The first drink does the rest of it.
Let’s not pick up that first drink today!

Congrats on day 6 Crafty. I spent a lot of time apologizing my first few weeks. Over and over again. Sometimes people, especially loved ones, forgot I had quit drinking. And I was soooo angry I can’t drink like a normie.
