Hey Andrew, I understand what you’re saying about going out in this stage after a relapse. I’ve noticed I’m still a bit wobbly in my recovery. I thought after ‘just’ one mistake I’d be back to where I was in no time (I surely have the desire to be sober), but it feels different. I feel like I have to work even harder after my relapse. Today and tomorrow I have family diners and I have to actively prepare myself not to drink and constantly remind myself of the reasons why I don’t drink. It works and I will get through it, but I sure hope it will get easier again over time.
Well, it’s good to see you’re working on it! I can totally relate

Day 5 is done. Next goal: the first full week.
I’m already feeling better, sleeping better, and today I cleaned my entire apartment. Always After 4-5 Days im getting like a big energy boost.
One thing that bothers me is that I still have all my empty wine bottles in my pantry. There must be around 85-100 of them because I don’t have a car, and the recycling trash is 700 meters away. I could take my e-scooter, but I feel a bit embarrassed about throwing them all away at once. Ideally, I’d like to get rid of them all, but even carrying two full bags doesn’t look great so I havent even started. It’s weighing on me a little.
So far, I’ve listened to three audiobooks about alcohol and have been trying to really understand what a cleverly marketed poison it is, something people consume so casually without a second thought. My cravings today are very low, and yesterday my partner had a glass of wine, which didn’t bother me. I hope it stays that way, but I also know from experience that bad days will come.
Surprisingly, the weekend has been easier to get through than I expected, but I’m staying mentally alert and clear.

Hello!! Good morning. Checking in on day 1.
I was away for almost 10 days from checking in here as I was on a trip with my girlfriend and her sister than came for vacactions. I broke my sobreity during this time for 5 different days so I am back at day 1 today (I would be 30 days sober this morning).
I learned a lot during this time.
I was able to see how alcohol and drugs are controlling the life of a lot of my surroundings. I supossed I always knew it but now I can really see it, as I can feel myself entering a new phase in my life.
There is so much suffering all around because of this addictions, its heartbreaking really. Beautiful and amazing people all over the world living nightmares instead of embracing life. (Like myself).
I have learned a lot of lessons during this days, and I will be sharing one by one as I meditate on them.
I am glad to be back.
I am sorry that I did not answer to those who reach to check on me. Thanks a lot! I will catch up during the weekend.
Love and hugs.

Checking in beginning of day 10.
Yesterday was off the hook crazy. I had meetings up until I needed to leave for my certification exam. On the way to the test center I encountered traffic which ended up making me a couple of minutes late for the test. Already sweating I sat down for the test and the proctor cued it up for me. I got 3/4 of the way through the test when the computer burped and reset so they had to reboot it and I had to retake the exam from the beginning. I got through the test on the second go (sweating the whole time) and ended up with a score of approximately 90%. Whew…I passed!
Meetings for the rest of the day, laundry in the evening, and I was ready for bed.
Missed my routine check-ins yesterday but remained sober throughout.
I walked for coffee this morning and have a lot of cleaning to do.
Will check-in later this evening.
Stay strong everyone!!!

Congrats on passing! I’m not a fan of testing in anyway. My brain decides it doesn’t remember my name as soon as I see the test 
And 10 days is awesome

I think I accidentally deleted my post earlier. It was at 3 am and things are sunny now.
I am posting again because today is my 11 month anniversary. 
. Yesterday I found out I start work in 2 weeks, and today is 11 months! Lots to be happy about. Insomnia has been rough lately so today I will cook and relax. Need to pace myself so I ease back into things and not show up tired. Some exercise will help.
@acromouse Aga thank you for reaching out this morning . Anxiety can spin out if I get stuck in my head. People and connection will get me through
