Should I be bothered, no I don’t think so, it’s probably bc I had no dad and have only been around women my whole life, even at work it’s just me and I’m the boss of 10 women. I have to stop them killing each other everyday. Only a woman will ever understand the mind of another woman and that’s why they hate each other. 
. I hope you have a wonderful day, I hope we all do bc some days are very hard work and we all deserve a break from our emotions sometimes.

Good luck @Swam I really hope you can get past the madness when your addict mind is going at it next time.
I wish you a happy sobriety!
I yesterday spent a lot of time reading on addiction and I have learned that not only our dopamine system gets screwed. But also certain drug and medicine have a way of altering our neurotransmitters which can lead to heightened/lowered/altered interpretation of body and mind signals like emotions pain withdrawal making life so much harder.
I haven’t found any detailed info on it yet. But I find it soothing that we are not just addicts but our mind can be just a bit altered by what we did. Makes my thinking easier to bare.

I woke up this morning very glad I chose to stay sober. I get those moments of unclarity. And yes, they always pass. And we Never Crave Alone. Speaking of that, how are you, @Wunderbar?

Day 8 check in.
This afternoon I got rid of all the remaining booze bottles in my mini bar thingy (mini fridge with bottles and glases next to it). 3 empty bottles and half a bottle of bourbon left.
I threw everything out! I drained the whiskey bottle in the sink and the smell just made me go: oohh such a nice smell!
That wasn’t a good thought! The other (sober) side of my brain immediatly said: no don’t go there. Don’t forget why you got sober. Don’t fuck it up again.
So I snapped out of it and moved on. Made some coffee, picked up my guitar and started playing. Music also helps for me.
This saturday night there’s a big party at work… my co workers were talking about getting really drunk ik front of me. Then someone turned to me and asked: are you really not going to drink at the winterparty? I replied: no I’m driving so I don’t drink. (Only 1 of my coworkers knows I got sober.). She was dissapointed by my answer! But she’s a heavy drinker herself who doesn’t want to change.
But anyway. I stayed strong in that situation and I will have a good time saturday. If things get to hard I’ll leave.
I ’m proud of myself! Almost double didgets!!!
