I love an early night now. Nice bath and a brew and a couple of biscuits in bed. And waking up no hangover the next morning is so worth it. Glad you’re here with us! Keep going!!

Great job Laura - i know its rough but a smart decision so early in your sobriety. Don’t bring temptations in.
It does get easier. With more sober days you will gain strength and be able to handle social events and not get triggered or feel urges.
A lovely early evening at home sounds heavenly. Get some quality “me” time in for you - do somethings special for yourself - paint your nails, take a bath, make your favorite dish.

Who is everyone? I don’t know anyone that drinks on Sunday, most people I know hardly drink at all. Who’s the normal one?

@Apotheosis I’m not sure if Laura is in the UK, but it’s summer bank holiday here this weekend. Sunday tends to become another Friday / Saturday night in terms of ‘going out’ here so that’s why it might be a bit more tricky this weekend X
@Law1 how are you feeling this morning? X
Good morning, yes all good at work, picking up lots of shifts, and gym, to try and stay focused their kinda like my safe place to be

Totally get it! Yes, do whatever it takes to keep yourself busy and distracted.
Keeo at it - sobriety does get easier.
Good morning all, 12 days deep of being sober feeling better by the day, still some hard cravings, but keeping busy with work gym and my big family, 
another day to day, meeting again Thursday which I’m looking forward to, hope everyone has a good day love and strength sent

16 days, at work for a 12 hr shift it’s keeping me focused, didn’t believe I could feel like this 16 days ago, so to all belive and keep pushing, 2 meetings done, which are fantastic to listen to other people, I have nt really spoken to much myself as not the most confident person 
but I do plan to next week, as I feel I need to, to the group, have a good sober day all will check in later x
