I’m sorry you’re day has been hard. That’s a long time for an appointment to be delayed!! I would have been frustrated. I hope you have finally been able to rest💜

Well I don’t know about counting my timer right after my last drink because technically I’m not sober right away. Anyway, it’s not that important I guess. It has been over 24 hours since my last sip, but I probably haven’t been sober for a full 24 hours. Pretty close though. So I’ll say midnight tonight is day one (or one full day sober) .
It really does suck having to keep starting again.
But at least I’m working hard at it.
ODAAT. Soon they will add up to more.

Day 6 for me.
Yesterday was a bit of a struggle as a family member died. I went to see my dad who was sat in the sun having a few cold beers. He dosnt know I’ve stopped drinking. We talked about old times while I sipped my fresh orange and lemonade with loads of ice. I enjoyed it.
That urge to have just one was tapping me on the shoulder but I flicked it off.
That was my hardest moment this week.
Onwards and upwards then .
Hoping you all enjoy or battle through today.

Coffee. I need to write a biography of myself as part of the intake into the new group therapy dealing with abuse as a child. Have to do it today. Now. I’ve been postponing it quite a bit. Let’s do this! Have as good a day as you all can friends. One day at a time. Sober and clean. Love from Luna and me.
@Leveller Sorry for your loss Col. Congrats on not giving in to addiction.

Hey Scott, you’ve been at this a lot longer than I, but I have found a rekindled love for soccer. That was something I was good at and passionate about before I started really hitting the bottle at around age 13. 32 years old now. Anyways, it has helped me kind of adapt to my new sober identity. Started coaching and what not again as well. I’m just kinda spitballing but maybe just doing something that you love to do and making it a larger part of your life could help. Have a good day bro!

Welcome!
Had the same issues, just so you know if you can’t remember from your last time quitting, sleep does improve. It took me about 2 months and it felt forever at the time but worth the wait. Good luck with it

Yesterday’s cravings passed, of cause.
I am hardly struggling with feelings of loneliness… 
don’t really know how to handle.
Grrr fck. Damn.
Not that positive vibe today.
Sending peace

Good of you to think on front about what to do when you come hone after work despite drinking.
Maybe buy a BIG chocolate bar or some icecream as replacement so you know it’s there to celebrate your first day at work with? 
For me I changed the wine thing into chocolat. So I ate loads in the beginning of my recovery. When I had more solid sober days I needed it less. But back then I ate whatever much if that kept me from drinking!
