Where @dot.dot.dot is in the future, I’m in the past! Just now getting on here after waking up an hour and a half ago with yet another headache. Needed a little sunshine from this group. As usual, I smiled. :blush: Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. I’m heading to the kitchen for another cup of coffee. :coffee:

Yeah but talking to someone in the future feels weird !.. with you when I’m talking to you it’s just as if you’ve had a long lie in :joy:

If only that were the truth! To be fair though I’ve slept most of today. It’s 3pm and I’m just getting moving. Trying to find the motivation to get to the grocery store. I hate when I put it off to Sunday. It’s always so crowded. Oh well. First world problem to have for sure.

9pm is a perfectly respectable bed time. Just now getting to the store and my sneaky addict brain says “you know, you could get a bottle of wine and no one would know”. UGH I will not do it. Getting a coffee and a pastry instead.

One of the things that really keeps me going if I ever have a craving now is do I really want to go through those first early days again when I first quit, no way… I’ve done it too many times I do not want to go there again and I’m sure you don’t either. Enjoy that pastry and coffee :heart:
I’m saying that as if I have loads of sober time behind me which clearly i dont ! But those first days a month ago and many other first day’s just seem so long ago x

You and @Conor689908 are right of course. I definitely don’t want to start over. I’m just annoyed the “voice” is still there. Got my coffee and ate my pastry already. I forgot I hadn’t had lunch until I left the house. Not my smartest move to go shopping on an empty stomach. :rofl::rofl: Thanks you two for setting me straight.

I think the voice will be around for a long time unfortunately…, next time it’s starts try hearing it in a Mickey Mouse voice !! It will make you laugh and then you can not take it seriously and see who is really in control :grin::muscle:

Once I get all these groceries put away at home… Nothing exciting. Some laundry, cook dinner and then watch the Cowboy game at 7:30. I’ll probably go to bed early even though I’ve slept pretty much half the day away. I feel a wee bit guilty for sleeping so much but then I tell myself I guess my body needs it. :blush:

Mickey Mouse!? :rofl::rofl::rofl: That’s brilliant! Definitely going to do that.

I actually slept 9 hours last night! I forgot to tell everyone that bit of greatness. I think my body was like “yes thank you, we’ll have some more!” so I slept! Finally. :blush:

Yes do it !! :rofl:

I’m doing well @Conor689908. Thanks for asking. I’m 52 days and feeling great. I’ve got legal issues to clean up still but facing it with a clear head should make it easier.

I got arrested for DUI after crashing into a pole and lost my job. Thank god I didn’t kill someone. That was my rock bottom. Went to detox then found new job. I have to pay for my mistakes and thankful I got a second chance at life. It sucks having to clean up this mess I made I’m accepting that I can’t change the past and moving forward with the help of all you great people.

That’s the attitude! Well done on 52 days! I’m about a week ahead of you. Sounds like you’ve really turned things around for yourself though with a new job and almost 2 months sober. Hope all the legal bits get sorted out sooner than later. In the meantime just take it one day at a time!

Thank you @crystalclear. I’ve been following your journey and I feel a lot of the same struggles. Thank you for sharing and we’ll celebrate our milestones together along the way. :heart:

Looking forward to many more celebrations. I just have to get past the “wall” I’m up against right now. It helps me every time someone else says they feel the same way I do so thanks for sharing. Now I guess the responsibile thing to do is go to sleep. :sleeping: :sleeping: I have a busy day tomorrow. And when I wake up day 60 will have come and gone. I’m looking forward to my emotions evening out too! Have a good day/night wherever you are! Talk soon.
