Reminds me of my neighbor when I try to explain it to him. "Have you ever tried toā¦ you knowā¦ not drink? āWow! I would have never thought of that! Thank you for solving all of my problems instantly!ā 
But youāre doing awesome, Dana, keep it up!
Thatās a beautiful place! Isnāt 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 Thatās a fantastic tribute, hang in there!
@mx_elle We do believe in you, weāve all been there before. 
Day 22Ā½ Woke up after being up and down all night long, got an appointment to run to, but I thought Iād check in early today since I didnāt do it for real yesterday. Everybody have a great sober Wednesday! Iāll be back later!

You are absolutely right. If my husband still used or even took up something else like drinking (oddly enough heās never had a sip of alcohol in his life due to family stuff), either I wouldnāt be clean (or really struggling to stay clean), or I wouldāve left him. Iāve 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 doesnāt understand. And Iāve never really told him what I do everyday for my recovery either. Idk why Iāve 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 didnāt 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 TSā¦ idk where Iād be honestly. I truly donāt. I donāt think I wouldāve gotten thru some of the hardest times without u all! I donāt think Iād be where I am today in my recovery if it wasnāt for u all. Grateful for u Alisa and for everyone here!!!

It must be hard to feel ātrappedā in your job. I donāt know what Iād do for work either if I didnāt do my current job. Iām sure there are other short courses you could take to start something new?? I mean I donāt really have any suggestions, but there must be some other options

I didnāt sneak it into the house, I just brought it back to Plattsburgh to this guyās friends house. The staff doesnāt care what we do outside the house. But no they wouldnāt 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 wasnāt happy about. Iām already in the process of getting it back home and told on myself one of the councilors

Checking in. Itās been awhile.
No extra added sugar 2 Weeks
Been busy and doing really well since my last check in. Iām grateful for my Al-Anon meetings. Iām grateful to be blessed to be working 2 recovery programs. Iām grateful I have those programs. I may not follow them exactly but I will have them. Iām grateful I love and live with a constant reminder I never want to go back to drinking again.
Iām 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.
Letās 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 canāt drink like a normie.
