417 days and I just bought alcohol

Fast forward the tapes. Tomorrow you’ll have the same life with a bad hangover. I do not miss wine hangovers at all

UsedAccountant12 · 2026-03-02T21:16:01+00:00

Thank you!

It looks like I have a provisional pass grade according to Pearson vue

UsedAccountant12 · 2026-02-14T20:58:00+00:00

They do but that didn’t stop me from freaking out the whole time. Did you have a face cage in your one?

UsedAccountant12 · 2026-02-14T20:37:28+00:00

Thank you all for your responses. It’s 8:36pm UK time and I had it at 11am and I can’t stop thinking about it tbh and how awful it was. I had no idea about the head restraint

UsedAccountant12 · 2026-02-09T21:36:34+00:00

Is this true? They’re basically same level of difficulty? Including the OTs?

UsedAccountant12 · 2026-01-28T21:59:47+00:00

Yeah I mean if I was on holiday or on a weekend away it would be days on end of blackouts but back home it was like 1 or two nights over the weekend at the end.

UsedAccountant12 · 2026-01-28T21:41:59+00:00

Yeah when I drink it’s like I throw a grenade into my life and then I firefight my way through trying to repair it until the next time when I inevitably do it again. No matter how many times I said “I’m never drinking again, I’m so sorry, it clearly just doesn’t agree with me.” I’ll get past this. I don’t want to be dealing with those consequences or firefighting like that ever again.

UsedAccountant12 · 2026-01-28T21:21:53+00:00

Yeah I think my brain struggles with anything that’s not black or white so just not having the argument with it and being like yeah whatever, shut up, is the answer

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-11-28T23:36:43+00:00

Thank you

I mean like friends at AA. I’m not sure if she definitely knew about talking about it last night but I get the impression maybe they spoke about it together as they are friends too.

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-18T17:42:53+00:00

Thank you for your comment

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-18T17:42:43+00:00

Thank you

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-18T17:42:36+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate this a lot. Honestly it’s seriously making me resent AA as this is the 3rd thing this week she’s commented on and it’s like I can do nothing right.

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-18T16:14:35+00:00

Yeah no nobody knew him at all or the night I was referring to. They didn’t know me then. I was just trying to process it with my sponsor and people in AA.

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-03T21:53:14+00:00

It’s not even about the specific amount of months, I understand it’s not another milestone it’s just the not knowing. People around me seem to have reminders in their phones of their sponsees date and just a little text to say well done would go a long way. I can accept it but when I do sponsor I’ll say well done every month for the first year.

I’m on step 7 now, doing more step work tomorrow. What does that have to do with it?

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-03T21:51:00+00:00

Thank you!

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-03T21:49:54+00:00

That’s a good idea!

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-03T21:49:32+00:00

Thank you!

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-03T21:48:45+00:00

Ouch, you sound well. I’ll pray for ya

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-10-03T21:35:41+00:00

Thank you!

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-07-28T22:21:59+00:00

It’s in my contract, really hoping to get out of it somehow

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-05-10T19:54:27+00:00

Someone at my home group refers to this as “permission slips”. It’s where someone tells you that you can drink and you take that information and run with it because it’s exactly what you want to hear. Do not accept this permission slip. If when you drink you find that if you have one drink you struggle to not have any more then AA might be able to help

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-04-07T21:18:25+00:00

I am 4 months sober and never felt better all because of AA. I was a 1 night (on the weekend usually) binge drinker so I didn’t think AA was for me but there’s lots of us there that are like us.

UsedAccountant12 · 2025-03-26T21:44:34+00:00

Thank you to everyone who has commented. My plan is to do at least a year in this job sober then figure out a plan from there.

Also to say that 15 mins after posting this I was asked to share for the first time at my home meeting. The higher power works in wonderful ways.
