Inchy,
I have been traveling and just now getting a decent internet connection. Am writing to see how you are doing.

It's a funny thing when you decide to get sober again, the smallest thing can come to mean so much more from one day to the next. Suddenly, I find every little reason not to drink is coming into my mind - having to text my fiance to ask where I left my wallet? Tomorrow morning I want to remember this day - and I want to keep remembering. All these little moth holes in my life, burns and scribbled out hours or days, time. Today is July 10th 2013 - and I want today to mean something. and I want to remember it.

Do you know something I was always losing things when drinking alcoholically including my mind.

Since being 'sober' I have found things sometimes get lost or mislaid but 9 times out of 10 they turn up - whereas in the alcoholic days they'd be gone permanently.

Being sober means you learn to look after yourself, you can be much more responsible and you also develop faith. Sure things go wrong BUT they usually work out in the end whereas as a piss head things just had no meaning, no ending, it all just swilled around for years and years going nowhere fast.

so day 2 didn't happen: I got threatened physically by my brother, with a kettle in the afternoon, the rest of the day was a battle to make him get his stuff and leave because the threat was too much, in the end the stress got me and i regret it. i want to be sober but my situation seems impossible, not even as an addict but as somebody with a home life that is... way too much. i am struggling again and i hope one day to find a little peace.

Inchy,
Just now back in internet connection and wanted to check in with you. Am sorry to learn that things are so stressful for you right now. Any tools you can use -- a walk, meditation, music--to help you achieve your goal of being sober? Thinking of you.

Hi Inchy:

If you're in London can you pop over to the British Museum? or just hang in Hyde park for awhile and feed the geese.... Westimister Abbey is good too becasue you can walk on all the graves!! That was my favorite actually...
That's what I did when I lived in Hampstead...

:l

Maybe go visit the little Prince
