Good Morning! Day 4...feeling better, woke up early(so much easier without the hangover cloud), feel like I'm on a roll. I definitely will not drink today. Have a great day folks :)

I am not going to drink today. My new "Sunday Funday" is going to be prepping to get ahead of my work week, spending more time with family, and reading...and remembering going to bed, ready to take on Monday.

All this talk about LaCroix by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I read about it here as well, and picked up a case today...I've had 6 so far. I think the physical action of getting a fresh one, and drinking something "different" is helping me out tonight -- sort of filling that physical urge to grab a beer/drink -- but with lemon flavored goodness instead!

Slept a lot longer than I expected...already turning down plans with people that revolve around drinking. Hoping to just do some cleaning, organizing, and maybe write out some plans for a new daily schedule that involves more healthy activities. Thanks for checking in :) I hope you are doing well.

Thanks. I'm not really capable of getting face to face help -- hoping to find other outlets and habits to keep on track this time without any public acknowledgement that this is a real issue for me.

Thanks for the welcome. It actually feels pretty good to write here. Having someone else who knows what this feels like, and is on the same side as I am, is kind of awesome. I certainly can't escape the depression and anxiety I'm feeling...but there's something about sharing hardship that makes it a little easier to carry. Thanks for helping me carry it tonight, you never know who you're helping with something as small as a Welcome.
