I have just reread every comment from my post yesterday. Thank you to everyone for writing such thoughtful and helpful things; I really appreciate them, and think about them all carefully.
Day 18, Friday evening. My blog is always going to give you the ups and downs, because that’s the way I work. There seems little point in writing a feel good blog when that is not how I’m feeling. So you may be witnessing someone who is not succeeding at all times, but who is here anyway, trying every day.
A Dappled Path 
Write what you feel. Take the advice that helps. Ignore what doesn’t.
Everyone here only has your best interests at heart.
Sending you peace for a good sober weekend.

day 19 here. Let’s have a sober weekend!
Annie, I missed your post from yesterday until now. I think you’re just having the typical ups and downs we all have with new sobriety. I cannot wait for the day when Wolfie shuts up for good, but for now he is on my back too; a couple of times a day or more. Feeling so much better keeps me going. and looking into the future for a glimpse of that sober ME! Hey, this is your blog, so you are allowed to feel and emote, whatever.
Luv to you this Friday,
Tina Jeanne
Hey you, I love your blog, good days, bad days and all the days inbetween! You write with an honesty and insight that resonates with me. I feel that we are on a very similar path. To moderate or not, to drink or not, to be sober or not……in fact its not so much of a path but a circle and a vicious one at that! Big hugs, I’m with you xx
I love your honesty Annie x
Just keep trying Annie…just keep trying. Your honesty and willingness to put yourself out there is so amazing. It shows that you have the capacity for great things.
Just keep trying.

Totally agree with first post. We all have your best interest at heart and we also know how up and down trying to achieve sobriety can be..all our comments are made in love and support..keep writing…no judgements here! Hugs!
I agree with all of the above! I feel you’re much more aware of your feelings this time around. Keep writing them no matter what! Even though you may be struggling at times you are helping soooo many people going through the same things. I think you’ve got it this time!
Hugs from me! Mary. 💗💗
