Am trying not to get too confident about it techie.
But I am feeling more clear headed for sure. It is interesting how tired I am.
If I had drank this afternoon I would have had all this false energy.
I was moderating okay (not great but okay) for many months but lost it about 10 prior to stopping.
Just not worth the wear and tear on my body. Plus it freaks me out that my kitty might need me and I could be out of it and not know it!!
I know seem silly, but not to me.
Night folks.
Thanks for the encouragement it counts for a lot!

I lost control about 10 days prior to stopping... not 10 months as is inferred!! Yikes, can't imagine what kind of trouble I could have created for myself in 10 months of overdoing it!!

Hey Tri- you know it is interesting how we can fool ourselves when we drink. I knew Roosevelt wasn't looking good, but I didn't take him to the vet because I was 'too busy."
The truth... I was afraid the tumors in his ears might be cancerous this time.
I also noticed he has lost weight and is eating and drinking a LOT. I know these are signs of kidney failure... I didn't want to hear it.
Well, guess what? We can help him w/diet, medicine and TLC and I put it off because my drinking mind convinced me to put it off.
Since I took him to the vet he is feeling a tiny bit better and is happy I am looking after him now. He comes and sits with me in the morning like he used to. He is my first cat and I am not terribly found of cats, but I love him. Thanks for saying I am not silly. Off I go to read. I will work w/my boss a couple of hours in the morning and glad for it. Also, I am grateful I will have a clear mind. Take care.

Made it through day 6

Thanks for everyone's encouragement.
Today starts day 7.
Gym, little work, go buy tv, pick up lunch, set up tv, paint, think positive. Distract myself when thoughts move to drinking.
You see it is a lot easier when I am not working as most of the triggers are removed. And the foundation of why I drink is pretty much removed: anxiety.
HOWEVER, I have been on 'vacation' for 1-2 years at a time, by choice entirely not because I lost my job, and have turned to drink. The anxiety was an unstable relationship I was not comfortable with.
So.
We come back to life being all about choices.

Just wanted to note I made it through today fine. Day 7 is done. A good feeling.
I am thinking things are going to get harder not easier, so I need to do everything possible to stay CALM.
I do feel a lot better for certain. I need to remember to rest as much as possible this summer.
Next school year is going to be intense I have the feeling.
Good night to all.
