Day 2, 15 hours
Some cravings were rolling over me today.
I remembered the inventory of stress my addiction caused. Exercise of the program. Only some points, the list is long. It helped.
Had a wonderful drive back home on the highway with this pinky heaven. Clear mind. Loving heart.

Got a cold from Hubby. Heās had it for a week already so I thought I dodged that bullet but no. I have 2 days off so itās very convenient to spend my free time sick 
meh. Well, it is it what it is.

Congrats on 1 week! Be strong my friend- buckle down with your tools to help you.
Kerp yourself busy and occupied so that you can stay clear of the urges.
Its best to protect your sobriety- especially on the early days when we are super vulnerable. It is ok to cancle plans if you think you may be tempted to drink. I am sure your friends would understand. If they dont know about your sobriety you could say you hust were not feeling well.
Keep up with the hard work

LMAO!
@JazzyS thanks, Jasmine! Itās definitely true. Itās my first sober weekend in years. With a 3 day weekend on top of it, I was pretty worried about blowing it this weekend. However, Iāve found Iām enjoying my weekend much more than when I was laying on the couch all weekend feeling like a bag of dog turds. So Iām sure Iāll get less chatty, but being active on here has saved my ass this weekend and kept me in a really great headspace. So thank you all for putting up with me! Lol
@Saturn81 thank you, Michelle! Congrats on getting that week!! 
glad your husband has helped keep you busy and distracted. I Hope tomorrow goes well for you! Do you have an exit plan in case you start struggling? Hoping your friends would be understanding in the event you need to excuse yourself! But you got this!!!

@JazzyS thank you so much itās so appreciated, your always so supportive 
your in everyoneās corner just cheering for us all 
@Qhob13 @JazzyS so this catch up with friends has been cancelled many times and itās been by us all for some reason and we all promised this catch up would be a definite, I would feel terrible cancelling, but after my last post tonight my friend asked us back to hers after lunch for a dip in the hot tub and drinks ābut no pressure on me to drink, just hot tubā (this friend doesnāt understand) so I replied saying I was planning on taking the car and would pick them up and drop them off after as I needed to go home for Coops, my dog would be fine until my husband was home but I used him as an excuse anyway, now I could leave my car and still drink, that is still a possibility as tomorrow is tomorrow but Iām trying everything in my power to have a good sober day 
right now I have so much determination to be on here tomorrow after my lunch and say āchecking in on day 8ā

Glad you are using doggo as an excuse.
I get it - not wanting to cancel plans yet again. Maybe call place a head of time to see what non alcoholic beverages they have to offer or what mocktails they are able to make. So far iāve only run into one place that was not accommodating and then i just got lime and soda water.
May even want to possibly skip the hot tub for tomorrow. Iām sure it will be hard to do once you all get together the the catch up session starts. You know you best - just have this out in case you start feeling urges at lunch. It will be much harder to pass up relaxing in a hot tub laughing and having fun (at least it would be for me).
We are only seconds away so reach out to us before / during /after - whenever you need!
Love the determination and this thought alone kept me sober when i went out to meet up with a friend at a bar ā i really did not want to come home and say that i had caved. You are stronger than the addiction

You are so right, I am definitely not going back for the hot tub, I have already said this, I just canāt, I will drop everyone off and say I need to be home for Coops, like you said I know me absolutely and if I go back for that hot tub day I wonāt come back for I donāt know how long, this is a big challenge really early in and Iām so aware of it and terrified, thanks for your constant support Jasmine

This made me smile. Not because youāre not well, obviously. But me and my husband ALWAYS share colds. If one gets sick, the other is sure to follow. At this point weāre used to taking turns looking after one-another.
Hope you get better soon!

Yessss!!! Great attitude to have going into it! Glad you have an exit plan in place, it will be much better than trying to exit on the spot. Hoping you can enjoy your get together without too much temptation. Looking forward to your check in tomorrow! Stay strong, you got this!!!

Sober but sick. Maybe flu but idk. All I know is I had a fever dream Friday night that I used and drank and I woke up TERRIFIED that it was true. Even being sick and woozy now feels like Iām coming down from being high. I donāt know why this is happening right now but I hate this feeling.
