Starting day 1 today

Emotional Support

Having a rough day at work but still sober and still feasting on meetings. Happy to be feeling much better.

Doing what I can to make that my final time experimenting with booze.

Cool man. Not easy but worth it. I am myself struggling today. When Iā€™m tired I get triggered easily. Pretty sure itā€™s because being tired and laying on couch was associated for a long time with drinking. Itā€™s hard to just sit there.

Been there. I started drinking after six months of sobriety. All it took was a half glass of cheap champagne (oh and thinking I was no longer alcoholic). Your post helped me a ton and Iā€™m sure Iā€™m not the only one. :+1:t2:

Yup!

And video games, tv, movies, sports, driving, social settings, sleeping, studying, class, work, breathingā€¦

What helps me is to think of it having such a hold on me as far as trying to get you to pick up again. Nothing should have that control over my actions, choices, etc.
Iā€™m stubborn, lol.

@Lilemm, Iā€™m not very familiar with AA, but is it customary to put sponsorship on hold like that??

77

Itā€™s na and thereā€™s alot of circumstances surrounding it, like giving me time to think hard about what I really want
