You are doing great! I am on the journey again....this is day 2 for me and I am really tired a symptom I understand planning an early bedtime. I too am a Christian and wonder how I ever got to this point of consuming a bottle of wine most every night for the past 9-10 years! We all need to support each other on this journey...:new::h

Britches! Well done on day three my friend! Hope today was not to stressful? Hang in there. Well everybody, thought I would check in again today. Had my one to one therapy session today, it was the best one yet, very very productive. We went through all the short term pros of drinking(was not that many) then weighed them against the long term pros(yeah you guessed it...none!). Also, I mentioned to her my night out yesterday which was great without AL, was on a natural high from life(and that can never be beaten), and we saw that the short term pros of drinking are just that...short! Would wake up in the morning from a so called good night out feeling shit, guilty blah blah blah.", but yesterday was a fantastic high and I am still feeling great about it today...something that will not happen when waking up from the night before...am i making sense? Lol. Then after my session it was right downstairs for my first SMART recovery meeting. The hour flew by and have met some fantastic people who offer support and vice ver.these past two weeks have been a rollercoaster ride and all I have been doing is going up up up. I know at one point something will happen that will make me angry or down, and I may end up going down a bit on this rollercoaster, but I will have to take it on the chin, not use alcohol to escape from a bad time, get back in the cart and go back up again. Thanks for taking the time to read. I hope you all had a good day and that all you have a fantastic week ahead.

Hey just checking in. Britches...how is it going? Vy thanks for your support buddy! I have not been on here for a few days as I have caught a nasty chest infection. I had one a few weeks back but didn't get any antibiotics from doctor, it went away,well, couldn't of as it's now back with a vengeance so I will picking up my meds for this first thing in the morning. I mentioned in my previous posts that I am seeing a girl at the moment but taking it real slow. I am very glad that I am doing this as getting to know her for her Is proving a lovely experience. In the past I would just hop into bed after the first or second date, but have now realised that after the sex, you will usually find that you have a sod all in common! So I decided to sort my life out and find someone who will love me for me and vice ver....sorry if ya all reaching for a puke buckets! Lol. So 2 moz there is nout much happening apart from picking up meds and resting I suppose. Have started to watch LOST again so that should keep me busy! Have a great weekend all . .

Hi all. This Weekend has not been great. I have been quite poorly with a chest infection, and i think that this has amplified Everything. I suffer from depression and I have times when it come ls over in waves. I have not been drinking as i know it will make things worse. Don't know why I wrote this...just think I needed to put things down. Hope the week ahead is better.
