Day 10 for me
Your post resonated with me . I was sober for 2.6 years. Had wine during covid and thats been 3 years lost!
Alcohol is progressive . It picks up ferociously where we left off.
Never again for me

Day 93. My first longest true and honest sober stint ever in my last. I did 2 weeks a year ago. And i did 2months 12 years ago when my GP put me on antidepresents and said i cant drink with them but that didnt last long. Keep going mate.

Day 93. Happy wednesday
Just feeling cranky this morning. Got out the wrong side of the bed for sure!
Not looking forward to having to smile and kind of “perform” politeness in front of ppl at work.
Plus realising how much money ill be short of end of the month due to a 2 week summer holiday with the kids - so stressing out about that a little bit but mainly just feeling really irritated, kind of down, want to bit everyone’s head off…i actually thought “ah fuck it i want a drink” this morning walking into work.
I wont. Pointless the aftermath and ill just feel even more down and irritable but yeah, learning about a new trigger. I havent had many in my 3+ months.
But financial worries seems to be a big one of them im realising

I never thought I could do it… the doctor put me on morphine many years ago and then I would also buy from a so called friend but am now 45 days free … I’ve had my lows and highs but omg it’s so worth it. … I no it’s not drink but still a addiction and if anyone is starting this journey then let me tell you am proud of you… your amazing
Your strong
Your a survivor

I am just 2.3 days in and new to this scene. I have tried AA before but do not know if that is the format that works for me. I am in the wine industry so alcohol is ALWAYS around it seems. My marriage is in turmoil and I was recently triggered by my husband telling me he is interested in having an open marriage. Very difficult for me to hear. I am hurting pretty bad right now but am trying to be strong. Much love to all y’all

Welcome to the community Dave
Well done on your 2+ days of sobriety. It is harder to fight for when you among your DOC and giing through personal issues but it can and has been done.
If AA isnt for you- have you checked into other support groups? Are you able to talk with someone irl?
This is a fantastic community that you have joined. So much love and support here- lots of great advice and encouragement and absolutely 0 judgment. You are not alone here.
Read around the threads - join in when you feel ready. We are all here fighting our DOC(s) and lookingvfor a addiction free life.
Glad you are here - hope to see you around.

Thank you Jazzy! Mere minutes away from 3 days! No longer at such a dark place with my husband. We are 22 years apart and I think he is experiencing FOMO. We have been together 6 years and he is now 31. He said he loves me and has no plans on going anywhere but still may want to “experience “ some more. Drinking has ruined so many of my relationships. I am sick and tired of it. Time to kick this beast out of me. My best friend of 30+ years has been c/s for 3 years now. He is a great support. Recommended a book called “The spirituality of imperfection” Said it helped him a lot and he knows me better than most. Anyhow, I appreciate your kind reply and I am pouring a cranberry hibiscus sparkling water over ice to honor 3 days sober in 7 minutes. Be well.

So happy to hear that you are on day 3 and not in the dark place. Wishing you the best with your relationship and on your sober journey.
I haven’t read that book but it sounds like a great read.
You should also consider posting on our Checking in daily to maintain focus #56 thread - it does help keep you accountable and reach out to more folks on the app.
Can i say YUM - that sounds so refreshing! ENJOY and Happy Friday!
