It was much needed! Its just about winter in upstate NY now. First night was comfortable, second night was pretty cold at 3am! Lol

I know what you mean about much needed buddy. Yesterday was pure release. All thoughts of the outside world just goes yes? Just you and nature. So ā¦ freeing!
Yeah 3am in a sleeping bag on the floor is a nastey thing, but still just part of the fun.
Hahaa yep well said. Another night to sleep sober. I DID overcome some strong cravings on the way home too.

How was your first day
Hey! If I remember correctly, you threw some solid encouragement my way in my under 2-3 weeks. Back atācha, sober friend! You can do this. One day at a time. Weāre here. 
I will say Iām a tad jealous of your backpack trip. Here I would need to build a snow cave. Brr!

Nice Man! Stay Positive. I almost caved tonight at my mother in laws 60th Birthday. Iām still sober though. As long as I get through tomorrow ill hit a full week. Its tougher this round than the last few times for me , so I find myself here reading multiple times a day.

Be kind to yourself. Keep tryingā¦ 30 seconds after a relapse, you have been clean for 30 seconds. Keep pushing that number further and further. Rewrite your internal narrative that says you must be the hardest on yourself.

Good luck man! Iām on day two and it seems impossible, but to hear someone talk about 110 days, I know it can be done and you can do it again too!

Thanks man, I really appreciate and needed that!
Hey Dave, I know itās hard at the start but push through the craving/habit and I promise itāll be worth it!
Donāt give up. Learn from your actions. I have complete understanding and see you got a lot of good advice. I am on day 5 myself and checking in here has been very encouraging. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Donna! Iām gonna do my best!

Once I got it in my head that itās just not something thatās doing any good for me, I donāt even think about it anymore. Whatever it takes to get your head on your pillow sober!

Unfortunately I didnāt keep my momentum going. Today is day 1 again. I hit a meeting and am hitting another. I dont get why my actions arent following my deep desires to not drink.
