SO great, Simon! I'm sitting here, trying to concentrate enough to get things done... During week 1, and I really needed to hear this. Just a few moments ago I was considering going up to the market to buy some "comfort food" to help me get through these cravings and this tension. But instead, I decided to have courage, and just sit here with my feelings for a while longer. I don't want to trade one addiction for another. This whole thing is about retraining myself to "hold still" while I feel all kinds of feelings. Sounds so easy! But 40-some years of escaping comes with a cost. The price I'm paying today is just some emotional discomfort and a little physical tension. Surely I can manage this. But not alone! Without your program, I wouldn't know how to think about this whole process and all the "stuff" that happens while changing behaviors. Okay. Here I go... going to try again to relax and get a few things done this morning. :)

Decided to end my life as I’m back to square one. I get to day 10 or 12 and then everyone a 72 hour bender follows ( always 3 day. ) wife’s gone, I’m on police bail ( which I broke conditions) Ironically I always feel so productive when I’m sober. I mess sure I suffer with depression and anxiety and as Simon says it’s throwing fuel on the fire. I’m on day two and I’ve managed to shower, shave and get back to bed where I’ve been for a few days. I’m scared the police are coming and going through withdrawals badly( shaky, sweaty and full of fear) but I know this will pass tomorrow or day after . It always takes a couple of days to feel normal.... in bed some courage cos right now I’m the cowardly Lion.💔

I’m on day 2 and I’ve noticed a lot of people saying that they have relapased and we shouldn’t beat ourselves up as mad as it’s seems and I know this is wrong these statements are now tricking me into having a drink like it’s ok I can forgive myself and this is really scaring me I don’t want to think like this.

Courage is the best way to overcame the feeling of being scared. We should use a setback as a data point to grow, learn and become stronger, they are part of the journey. Simon.

I stopped drinking on the 18th of August because I wrote it on the calendar. Soo, it's a month tomorrow. If I can stop smoking for 20 years on willpower alone than same goes for drinking...
