Cleared some old stuff out of room, took stuff to dump.. Got new unit in my room - more storage space.
Made a really nice salad for dinner:Cucumber, tomato, iceberg lettuce, radish, spring onion, grated raw carrot, grated cheese, sweetcorn, sliced mushroom, sliced pickled onion, sliced cocktail sausage, ham, garlic sausage, tuna with some salad cream and some brown bread and margerine.
Fishing stuff packed into car but duno till morning wether im gona go or not..
Offi closed now and im sober again.. So I have 3 days now
Ya know the funny thing.. i had time to do all that salad for dinner and have time to wash and dry everything up after id eaten it.. As opposed to puttin plate under chair or bed untill i had enough energy to even contemplate clearing it up.. Just to have the energy to even make it.. Normaly all of that seems so complicated and such a nightmare and today it was easy and stress free... and fun..
If you were going to the meetings at noon, with me, and said you had put three days together, everyone would be so happy for you, and let you know. Just remember the Courage it takes, when we have put that "Plug in the Jug", that was our only way of dealing with life, a new life, I feel is what is going to be ahead for you, I have watched you stuggle, and struggle, and it will not be easy, but it remains Simple.
Love and Hugs and Congratulations, Rob, you're doing it !
Toni,
Can you find a list of newcombers meetings, or ask someone, when you go to the next meetings. Maybe there is someone that is also new, that might have that info.
Hey, Rob! That dinner sounds deelicious! and I'm so glad for you that you have 3 days now! You are making progress, at your own pace and in your own way. I understand your feelings and fears about letting go of the old ways now, which seem comfortable, and trying new ways with fear of the unknown. I still struggle that way too.
You didn't mention sweats or anything. The withdrawal symptoms aren't so bad this time?
*hugs* love in recovery,
amanda

Hi Amanda.
Yeah salad was lovely.
Yeah i realised i had neglected to say bout my nights/withdrawls for a couple of days. But yeah still getin the sweats but better now. The night i cut down to small amount and then the following night when i had my first sober night I sweated alot, i went through like 3 t-shirts each night, the second night i went through two jumpers as well, it had soaked through the t-shirt, i even had to change my boxers that night. I did have to change my t-shirt last night, but only the once, same as the night before.. And yeah its gettin better.. I wasnt at all figity when i went to bed last night, infact i was in bed before midnight which was better than the previouse nights.. I actualy felt tired enough to just wana sleep last night. And last night was the best nights sleep i had since i cut down/abstained. Must have got atleast 5 hours probably..
Most meetings give out chips (coins) for dates of sobriety--one month, two months, three months, six months, one year, two years, etc. Hope you have a wonderful day Rob!
