Yes. Mood swings are absolutely bizarre. Iām not sure whether itās because the brain is adjusting to the absence of alcohol in the body. Anyone have any ideas or opinions ?

Iām gonna be honest and say I bought wine and intended to drink it. But I didnāt. I have some folks on TS to thank. But I also have myself to thank. Iām grateful I made the choice to not drink when I wanted to numb my feelings. Itās so fucking hard sometimes. Isnāt it!?

Iām glad you decided not to drink it. Sorry you been feeling like that. I hope things get better. I can see the light at the end of this COVID tunnel getting vaccines and all and being able to go out in the new normal. Iām sticking to that hope. Things are going to get better.
Iām happy you made a good decision.

Iām so glad you didnāt drink that wine. Alcohol only makes things worse. Itās definitely hard sometimes, especially these days. Sending hugs your way.

@autieā¦so glad you are here. You wrote your ābottomā story out in detail. Copy and keep it with you. You are lucky to have a supportive family. No DUI? Lucky there, too. Date didnāt try take advantage of you? Yup! Lucky there as well. Make that awful night the last drinking night ever. Thanks for sharing!

Youāre right, itās so strange. But I learned my lesson. So many things could have gone differently that night. When itās to the point Iām driving an hour an a half out of the state and going to jailā¦ Thatās when Iād be silly to not just completely call it quits.
Thanks for your support

Iām grateful to God I donāt drink.
Iām grateful to God I donāt depend on booze.
Iām grateful to God for the long timers who work the program of NA or AA who saved my children from a life of hell.
Iām grateful for the sober living homes in Santa Monica especially 2 of them that brought life back to my children.
Iām grateful my wife and I made the hardest decisions of our lives when our kids were in early recovery. Cut them off or go to sober living. It worked.
Iām grateful for the sober clean miracles of my 2 grown up children now in their 30ās. They worked their programs and they have good lives.
Iām grateful we can help my niece/daughter with all her vet bills. When we told her, she started crying. Her poor little old dog is struggling with so many health issues. Her first pet. Her first dog. Her first real friend. A lot of us know that struggle. Itās so hard.
Iām grateful things are going pretty well for me. Today. Presently. Right now. At my old age I think Iām finally figuring that out.
Iām grateful for my family and I know I will be seeing them again soon.
Grateful for TS and all the Gratidudes here. We might have to start taking reservations. But I think we still got room for more.
Iām grateful I came across this video on Twitter.

Iām grateful to @RosaCanDo for not giving in despite coming close and for sharing her story here. Iām grateful for my level of fitness, even though I wasnāt at my best today. I was still able to cycle 80km/50m. Grateful for the sun in the sky and on my face, for my sobriety and abstinence from stupid smoking, for my job that pays my bills and my bikes, for my home and a hot shower to get back to after three hours out in the cold. Always very grateful for this place and for all of you here, fighting the good fight together. Love.

Today Iām grateful for my sober warrior friends here on TS, for my womenās recovery group, and for my family. I am so grateful for this safe space to share and to get support. I have so many lifelines itās sometimes hard to believe! And I am grateful that I used those lifelines when things got weird yesterday. So weird. Grateful I didnāt drink and grateful I am challenging my shame with feelings of victory over addiction. Just for today, friends. I am grateful for those of you who cheered me on and made me feel a bit better yesterday. I am grateful that I bought alcohol and planned to drink it but didnāt. I think itās timely, because I relapsed really badly last year in early April and I feel stronger now in my support system and the tools I have practiced. Just so grateful today.

I am grateful to be sober and hangover free.
I am grateful to my coworkers and that last night went fine. I am taught over and over again that worrying always turns out to be a huge waste of time.
I am grateful that after tonight I am off and the weather will be warmer. Looking forward to walking outside and using the grill.
