@Hailstrom and @Mno,
You are def not alone. This must be what it is to feel like a dry drunk. Angry, fed up, and debating how bad would it really be to reset the counter. For this minute, I will not drink…on repeat all darn day.

Day 65.
No-one in this house has washed or dressed today.
Grazed on leftovers, watched tv, and napped a lot.
Dog Josie is currently snoring on my lap. Life is ok.

Day 80 Checking in. Have wanted to drink so very badly. Realized I am tired, exhausted in fact. Too many people around all the time and I am actually such an introvert. Looking forward to this whole holiday season being over.

Day 5,
Feeling good.
I look up to @MoCatt hitting that 600. If I kept on when I started here I would be in that club.
It’s what I want to do now. Focused.
Today was chill, I need to get past Fridays, that’s the day that kills me.
We still do Friday night hangouts here?

Closing in on day 2, but I might as well write here now since there’s so much thoughts going on in my head about drinking. No cravings or anything, but mainly the thought about how constantly I have been lying to myself for the past years. How I convinced myself so perfectly that I can do moderation while the same time I always knew that I can’t. And how I’ve been emotionally hurting myself and my wonderful, sweet girlfriend everytime I did it and she still stood by me and will support me with this decision. All of it is just overwhelming to think about, gosh!
Well anyway, weekend is coming up and I know that alcohol ain’t got shit against me this time💪

Thankful for another day of sobriety. I took the kids and Gunny on a long walk today and stopped by a State Parks K9 Ranger buddy’s house for a visit. My youngest played with his triplets, and my oldest took a walk with his oldest twin daughter. Twins and triplets, they have their hands full. Gunny was able to play at first with their yellow lab, then with his recently retired K9 german shepherd. After finding out they were going out of town, I offered to watch the german shepherd for him since his in laws are deathly afraid he will attack them. Tomorrow is a test run since he’s never stayed away from his handler or family after being certified as a patrol/explosives K9 6 1/2 years ago.
I’m excited to watch his dog, and that Gunny will have a playmate who’s fluent in German too. My friend helped me so much in my early recovery and now I am in a position to help him.

Good morning I’m day 88 and feel so happy to be going off to work today . I’ve struggled alot over the Xmas period not with cravings but with being out of my comfort zone . I’ve missed a couple of meetings due to family commitments and I honestly thought I’d be ok with that but I’m not . I feel really disconnected and weird . I know ap few normal person would laugh and say it’s only a meeting but these meetings are my medication… they life me up and make me happy. I like the feeling of belonging somewhere. I’ve spent yesterday upset and crying to my sponsor she doesn’t live near me anymore but she’s the only person to put my head together again! Im so looking forward to her coming to stay after the weekend. She’s been my rock through the good times and bad and she knows every dark secret about me . She’s 15 years soba and definitely my Angel. Keep remembering guys not every day is great . But u can always get through it . Nothing is ever that bad for us to drink or drug … reach out people will help . Things do get better we just need to search within ourselves to get through tough days. Wishing you all a blessed day x x x

Day 2 here in wet UK. This is around my fourth serious attempt but I am determined to do this. Anxiety, family stuff, loss, and being a full time working mum make staying sober hard. But I’ve realised that alcohol is only a temporary distraction and ultimately makes all of those things worse. Time to deal with life on life’s terms, and be a better mummy, wife, and human being, and kinder to myself too. Grateful for this community
