Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. – Carl Bard

Craving Numbness.
Today. Today I'm scrubbing my house like a crazy person. It gives an outlet for the anxiety. It keeps me busy. Pacing. Scrubbing. Trying to control my surroundings since I feel I really can't control anything else. I wish I could simply flip a switch. Change my mind set. Not feel how I fe...
Day 1 again
So it's back on day 1. I've been drinking non stop since my last time. I'm tired. I'm sick. I'm over it. I need to do this. Day 1. Again.
Day 1 End
Well i did it. Its 9.11pm and I'm getting tired from a day of boredom and stress and making myself distracted every 2 seconds with horrible chores. My partner wanted to go out tonight... so I had to tell him that I'm trying to quit drinking and I dont feel comfortable going out because it'll…
Day 1 … Part 1
Its 11.16 and I've been up since 8am. First thought... coffee then beer. So I had my coffee. Then I had another coffee. Then i cleaned the house from top to bottom. I've literally done everything. And now its 11.16. And I'm sitting on the couch wondering what to do. I dont want to eat…

2005 vs 2018
Would I have believed in 2005 I'd be where I am today? Never. I made a Facebook post a few days ago. It was simple. The need to clean my house & be productive for the day. Seriously, it was dirty & needed to be done. My friend, N, replied with a to the point…
Overwhelming
Last night sleep did not want to come and I suddenly couldn’t stop thinking of everything I need to get done. First I need to shop for my daughters birthday which is the day before I leave. Second I need to clothes shop which I hate I just recently had to say goodbye to my…
How I got here PT 2
So I did not do much research on the place I was going to. I asked a few questions but not enough mostly because I didn't know what to ask. I had excellent insurance and I had met my out of pocket from all the hospital stays so I could have gone anywhere that took…
Under the Influence
I had a personal victory last Friday. I was really worried about this day. My work was having an event, and work events ALWAYS have free drinks. Put a Big Mac in front of an obese foodie, and they are going to eat it. Put free beer in front of a problem drinker, they are…
