Good morning,
Great to hear from you. I’ve found posting on here super helpful. I don’t know if i’d have made it this far without it to be honest.
Share what you feel comfortable sharing. Air the laundry I say. We are all friends here.
Most important of all, we are always in your pocket for a chat.
Regards

Today is day 21
Every day is a gift of choice to add up “day 1’s” until it’s a lifetime.
Hello all,
I am very happy to say that i am still on the wagon. 45 days today.
I have been offline dealing with things and havent had much in the way of cravings to get pissed up and forget myself. Tell the truth, I don’t think I could stomach a beer at all anymore.
Those that have followed will know I have been drinking to cope with Military orientated PTSD. I am 3 weeks into CBT and whilst not much therapy has happened ( getting to know each other phase ) I feel lighter already.
I still struggle with my red mist moments however. Those have been with me since childhood. I suspect the Shaman or whitch doctor will have to say a spell or two for this cure. Lol.
The reason for my “off com” phase has been because my wife and I were undergoing IVF treatment. It has not worked. I was worried back when i started the treatment, that a negative outcome would spark a relapse. I am happy to say, it hasnt.
The mother in law is staying with us tonight. I tried telling her about my alcoholism and that i don’t drink anymore. The look back was disbelief. Not that I had quit, bit that I had a problem. Her son had to go through rehab and therapy to stop him drinking. She thinks youre not an Alkie unless youve been to rehab. She should look at her own habits from up high, and realise she is not in a good place. But that’s another story.
I want you to be in a great place too. I hope your Day 1 has turned into something beautiful and alcohol free for as many days as you are now here reading this.
Today is day 45.
Busi, how are you doing?
Hey, how are you getting on?
Stand by for that recipe. Im cooking it again this week. Hope you are well.
