Day 111 :heart:
I thought about getting drunk this morning :confused:
Well, I donā€™t know that I thought about it, rather the thought came from nowhere. I was a bit taken aback by it so thought why has this entered my head? I think itā€™s perhaps because Iā€™ve had a lot going on mentally over the past few weeks and I also have a super busy day tomorrow and will be out doing stuff from 9am-9pm working. I guess I recognised stress as a trigger. Obvs I didnā€™t drink but I feel a bit disturbed by the thought, like, is this where it gets really hard?
Anyway, went to watch the musical Six at the theatre and had a fab time this evening. It was so imaginative and such fun. Safe at home now :blush: I also did good work today at home and am looking forward to going into work tomorrow. Iā€™m also looking forward to my first piano lesson tomorrow :star_struck: wish me luckā€¦
Keep on keeping on x

I made it 6 months today.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to ready my check ins. I appreciate being able to come and chat and share this sober journey with you all. Reading and connecting has been such a helpful tool for me.
Iā€™ve done so much good shit for myself these last 6 months, itā€™s amazing what you can accomplish when you stop obsessing over alcohol and trashing your body.
Bring on the next 6 months :tada::heart:

Day 208

Something bad happened today. I want to drink. I got an evil looking cotton candy energy drink instead.

Im so sick of my shit!! I hate myself sometimes.

God, i could drink. One bottle of wine for the night, is what I think. One 6 pack just to detatch for a minute.

But I cant. I just cant go through all of the fucked up shit that would follow that choice. I can at least commit to something else.

I can decide who I am and what I do.

edit but it just hurts! Im not good at the things i do and its consistrntly disappointing. Almost 7 months sober. And still just, incompetent. Terrible at relationships. Skills. I just. Ive been trying every day and its not good enough.

@Ranger1209 Great job on triple digits! :muscle:

@HappyDays Well done on two weeks! :clap:

@KrispyMac Three months! Whoo hoo! :tada:

@Hairytrees Cunning, baffling, powerful alcohol! You are back and that is the most important thing. You have tools from your sober time, you know how to use them :purple_heart:

@Alycia Fantastic! :bouquet:

Lol, better than drinking! I often thought ā€œjust one bottleā€ too, thatā€™s like all the ā€˜mommy juiceā€™ jokes right? But 3/4 would disappear and I wanted more than was left so I would buy another ā€˜for one glassā€™ and then drink the lot and pass out. And then hungover, barely able to function, wrath from the husband. Fuck that sideways.
