I went for a short bike ride. I rode past the bar I used to hang out in.  There were two cars in the parking lot.  The cook and the bartender.  I used to enjoy going in when it was empty.  Not...

My cold is going away.  I feel normal again.  My desire for alcohol is manageable.  I took my bike out for a 25 mile ride.  It's a good day.My son called and said he quit drinking.  He had a bad...

Am I hiding?  I stayed home from work today.  I'm fighting a cold.  I really don't feel well.  But I could have gone to work.  I don't feel guilty, though.   I'm sick enough to stay home.  

15 days sober.  It helps that I have a cold and haven't felt like doing anything.  When I was drinking, I would drink even when I didn't feel well.  If I drank enough, one sick feeling would...

Tomorrow it wil be 2 weeks since my last drink.  I feel fine, except I caught a cold.I'm not depressed, or happy.  I'm just kind of ... just living.  I'm looking forward to feeling excited about...

I took the day off.  It's been a good day.  I haven't done much.  Spinning  class this morning.  90 minutes.  The instructor gave everyone candy canes.  Then I went to the river and parked on...

Okay, here I am.  4 days off.  Alone in the house.  I think I'll be fine.  But this is a test.  

Got a bit of a craving today.  I suppressed it.  8 days since my last drink.  I still feel pretty good, but felt some anxiety today.  I went to a spinning class after work.  I thought about...

I made it through the weekend.  When I drank, I didn't have a lot of trouble getting through the start of the work week without drinking.  Monday and Tuesday were fine.  By Wednesday, I'd get...

Okay, I made it through Sunday football without a beer.   I don't think everybody has to be near death to realize they have a drinking problem. The lucky ones figure it out before that.  I hope...

What's different about this day?  I didn't stop at the liquor store on my way home from the gym.  I'll watch the game, sober. 

I joined DS today.  I've already received several supportive replies.  I'm one week sober  and it's been pretty easy so far.  I expect there to be tougher times ahead and hope DS will help me...

I've been in a funk for a few days.  Today was really bad.  I know compared to some I have nothing to complain about.  But I am still in a bad mood.  Everything I tried to do was a problem.  I'm...

My last drink was Dec. 12.   I've thought about drinking a lot.  I miss it some.  I miss hanging out at the bar, having a pint on the deck.  I miss getting plastered in front of the TV on Friday...

Three months sober today.  Today was the kind of day I used to get drunk.  I ran my errands, went to the gym, then came home.  My wife was out all day. I started doing a project around the...
