I drank it at the beginning but eventually I decided it was an expensive substitute, I used to drink 6 cans in about an hour hoping to get drunk.

Thank you Menno. Grief comes in waves, so I just wait for it to pass.
Do you have a second bike to get around? Have you already looked for a new bike?

Haha, wow that’s a lot of back up bikes. 
I hope everything goes smoothly with insurance.

I’ve been sober for one month today! 
This is right around the time where I’ve given into a drink the two other times I tried to quit, but I’m feeling stronger this time around. I want my sobriety to last more than anything and I won’t give up on myself this time. Logging on here and reading posts from all of you lovely people has been helping so much. Hope you all have a great day!!

Right! The NC pollen is insane. Only good thing is that it’s a reminder that the ugly, gross, cold, winter is almost over. Now everything will be yellow and dusty 
hope you feel better soon

26 days and 21 hours without alcohol 
…did my first hot yoga class tonight, INSANE,so intense . afterwards I felt really good about myself, doing it, trying it,and accepted my limits by walking out after 50mins…(was 60mins class)…teacher was really kind and supportive and I had my legs up on the wall outside the hot Room letting the blood flow back up to my heart and head…felt very responsible for myself and knowing that the best thing would be to get out the hot Room!.. GOOD CHOICE.
and a great new experience …gotta try that AGAIN!..

You are correct.
Here it is!
Looking forward to getting my 3 month chip tomorrow at my CR meeting.
It’s not been easy, but I’m getting better at this. I haven’t craved in 6 days.
