Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT, despite the shock to the system of leaving 24C and sunny and arriving back to 5C and overcast.
day ten first proper cravings and horrible gut feeling like impending doom but made it through the day.
Welcome to double digits!!
Day 12. Just want to say thank you for all you do. This community really is amazing. I don't really know what my long-term goals are. I just know that the way I had been drinking up until about two weeks ago was leading to worse and worse outcomes and I needed to take a step back. Feeling pretty good. The anxiety of life in general is all still there but at least it isn't compounded by a toxic cloud of guilt and shame. I have a job interview today. Wish me luck!
Good luck! Glad you are here and I know those feelings well
Thank you. I needed to hear that today. :) And how was the interview?
Went really well I think, thanks! Trying not to get my hopes up too much, but felt really good. Bonded over some shared interests and felt like I had the headspace to do some proper preparation and clear my mind. Earned myself an extra coke zero after that :)
