Day #76
Good Morning everyone 
Day 76 of sobriety and feeling tired 
I slept really well, but I must have woken up in the middle of a REM-cycle because I’m feeling a bit groggy. Nevertheless, I’m not at work till later this afternoon, so plenty of time to recuperate and rest thankfully.
Not a lot to report today, other than I’ve had a nice, relaxing weekend. Managed to catch up on some sport and TV yesterday while drinking tea by the log-burning stove. With Bonfire Night/Guy Fawkes Night now out of the way here in the UK, attention begins to turn towards Xmas. Albeit give it a few weeks - I walked past a shop on Saturday that was already playing Xmas music 
I felt sorry for the staff.
Cravings wise, I’ve been fairly good these past few days. Had a bit of a moment last week, but I noticed the trigger, ate and within an hour, I felt ok again. The big test (for me personally) will be Christmas and New Year next month, I think. However, I’m planning on stocking up on ice cubes, sugar-free Coke & Hot Chocolate - little treats that I can have over the holiday season that will also hopefully stop me from wanting to go near alcohol. This will be my first sober Christmas in at least 13-14 years, so it’s quite nerve-wracking. I’m aware it’s over a month away, but I’d rather prepare myself mentally now so I can head into it feeling as though I’m ready. Without preparation, I may come undone.
Anyhow, have a good day everybody. ODAAT.

Day 49
Have managed to catch covid from a work mate,
Currently doing ok, bit fevery and fluish so far.
Still om the straight and narrow, thoughts of drinking here and there I think because the warmer weather is here and thats just usual for us here in NZ.
Its definitely so much nicer waking up hangover free,
Knowing im going to get through covid without drinking is also a good thing.
