Still sober still haven't got to a meeting and things are getting really hairy. I keep wanting to pull a geographic.

All the best to you.
Getting sober is a simple thing.
But it ain't easy by any means.
No two people do it the same way.
May you find what works for you, and quickly...

Best of luck to you. You sound like you really want it, and that's the major ingredient to getting clean. I find it only gets better and better for me each day. I wish this for you also.

Couch tour is the best place to be newly sober. Keep it up.

Still Sober

Post by Hill Billy » Sun Jun 18, 2017 9:09 am

Still sober, even though it got hairy in the last few weeks. I feel like I am past the habit impulse of coming home from the day and getting wasted. That does not mean I am not going through some gnarly emotions that come with not coming home and getting wasted every night.

I am still on couch tour.

Out there certainly wasn't working and was starting to create significant health, family, and professional issues.

Thank you.

120 days

Post by Hill Billy » Sun Aug 27, 2017 1:33 am

At 120 days the relapse danger is real.

new job

longer commute, longer hours, working harder, same pay

all in the dream of more fun and less stress

I knew leaving old job would get worse before it got better and it certainly has.

I should know in two weeks if the more fun, less stress thing comes to fruition.

Old job resentments fueling relapse potential.

I made it through today.

Is the best revenge living well, or praying for those who piss you of, or bothf?
