Went to bed sober last night for the first time in weeks. I feel great so far this morning, spent an hour at the gym and have to start my Monday ritual of sending resumes to all the ads in the Sunday papers. Being unemployed is NOT good at this point in time as I have too much time on my hands.(isn't that a song?) I'm looking forward to doing it again tonight.(going to bed sober, that is) Well, to all the others who are are new, this is the closest I've felt to any group, on line or in person, since I started this battle 5 years ago. Maybe I'll get it right this time. As long as we keep trying, we haven't failed.

Hey Iowegian (is that a word for someone from Iowa?)
My first hangover free Monday was so WEIRD! It had been SO LONG since I'd had one it was an odd but WONDERFUL feeling. Monday is still not my favourite day but it's better than before.
Hang in there on the job front- I'm in the same boat! Keep busy, it helps, exercise - it keeps the endorphins flowing for those "down days".
Good luck and hope to see you around.Full is not nearly as heavy as empty, my love...

Iowegian is a blend of Iowan and Norwegian. Usually it refers to an Iowan of Norwegian descent. Although I'm actually German, it seemed like a fun moniker. Thanks for the replies. See you all around here soon."uch: When you kick youreslf in the butt, all you get is a sore butt and a tired foot"Comment

No hangover on Tuesday, either. And headed to bed AF in a few hours. Somewhere after the first week is when I usually mess up. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks chief.

I kept falling after 6 days when I first started, now I'm on 20! Make a sober activity plan for the weekend - something to look forward to - that's how I got past my first weekend. You can do it and you'll be so proud of yourself when you do! You can't take something out of your life without putting something in to replace it.
Good Luck Iowegian!Full is not nearly as heavy as empty, my love...

No Hangover Monday
Well, day 5 is starting out well. I woke up sponateously at 5:00 this morning after 7 hours of restful AF sleep. The weekend is looming nearer, and I'm going to take your advice deilight and try to plan as many things as i can to stay busy as I can. Funny, but there are so many things I need/want to do I don't know where to start. That's the wierd thind. Sometimes the number of things I need/want to do is overwhelming, and I tend to say "screw it". I can't decide so I just won't do anything. That sounds so childish now that I've put it in words. I guess just typing it out clarified it for me.
Anyway, to paraphrase Buzz Lightyear "To Freedom, and Beyond"
Have a good day, my good friends. I must say I'm glad I've found you all.
Take care and peace,
