Marching Towards Sobriety

@Desire88, I am working very hard on truly believing that I have the choice in all this. I choose to buy liquor or I choose not to. Going to the store is not an involuntary response. Today, I choose sobriety. It feels really good.

Gotcha!! Thank goodness virtual meetings are available.

Day 12 for me today. Ive been excercising ALOT, eating properly and been taking vitamins and truth be told I’m feeling much better. The cravings are currently being kept at bay by the recent memory of how bad the hangovers were. Everyone on this forum is an inspiration to people like me and you who need experienced advice and examples to follow.

Keep on keeping on.

Called it an early night…me the dog and some relaxing true crime TV. Waking up to day 7, on one of the biggest drinking days of the year. Luckily have to work, so should be distracted enough to get back here tomorrow night.

@TriumphSTsprint, @Bears515054…I’m wrapping up Day 11. Feeling strong in my resolve to not drink. I’ve been busy at work and tired at night so not tempted for some reason. I’ll take it. Just tired tonight. 8:30. Lights out. What a lightweight. :rofl:

Hi everyone, had a hectic week with big decisions to make. Lost a bit of focus with check in’s and gratitude lists. But the good news is I have still made it to day 12 yay. Mind has definately been up and down though. It has been great to spend some time on this app. Need to keep up my daily habits. You are all so inspiring! Have a lovely Saturday.

@Bears515054. Do you think your wife getting her own account means trouble? Does she just want to keep money away from you? You refer to her as “wife”. Why is that? Sensing some negative stuff here …dont drink at it. What are your weekend plans? Do you usually drink while watching basketball? If so, what is your plan?

@Mbwoman fantastic! Well done :grin::grin:

Not drinking and pretty sure it just means what it is. We have been having trouble for awhile.
