day went quick they always do when it’s your day off work. Can’t say I had a bad craving today so that’s a bonus. I would like to be a bit more happier about it all but I’ve been here before and messed up so Easy does it… I am grateful don’t get me wrong but as much as I want to stop I’m just waiting for the day I change my mind. I doubt my ability to stop forever that’s why one day at a time is the only thing any of us can do. It’s so easy when you say it but you give me a challenge to last one day then don’t put all your money on me bc I can want a drink in a heartbeat. So onwards and upwards. Be strong.
We can only do one day at a time Paul, if I look ahead it terrifies me so one 24 hr period is enough to focus on. Proud of you
One day at a time is the main reason I’m sober today @Dolse71 and @adeygaga49 . There’s nothing wrong with taking it like that. Slow and steady. I’m 295 days into this and it’s still a challenge. But just for today I won’t drink.
@Dolse71 @adeygaga49 As @SassyRocks said to me, not too long ago - “today is a good day to be sober” - and that has helped me huge.
Keep on keeping on!

Just getting off work. Heading straight home and into the bed. Stone cold Sober today. Reading some of the posts helps me stay this way.
Did the usual things and got the same result, sober for one more day. Did get a bit anti everyone and give me a drink earlier but that’s over now. So grateful it’s going to be a fresh start as I’ve got a busy day tomorrow and really did want to drink. Be strong.
Try to just be okay being sober Paul. It is enough for now. Happiness in early sobriety is a feeling that is overrated. I just want you to know Paul, I’m proud of you and the work that you’re putting in to your sobriety. Focus on the here now and just being okay. One day at a time my friend.
tough day at times and I keep letting stuff get in my head instead of letting it go and winding myself up about things I can’t change. Sober one more day and always grateful for that these days. Be strong.
OK that’s 10 meetings and 10 days sober but what’s more important is by setting your own feelings aside and helping other people no matter how many sober days you have helps both the recipient and mostly yourself. Talk to people share what we all have in common, remind people of why they are here and always praise people when the day is a success. Grateful for one more day, Be strong.
Good man
every god dam day I want a drink but in a way its probably for the best bc once I think I’m cured again I start to drink. At least now I know I’m just a sick addict and it will only ever get easier, it must do. So I’m grateful to be going to bed sober it’s another miracle. be strong.
Paul im so proud of you! You are really fighting for your sobriety. This is exactly it. Don’t get too comfortable in this. That’s what keeps me going too… Otherwise I fall…
it’s a slippery slope for sure…
Paul, congratulations my friend. Just wanted you to know I started a thread that I’m going to try to post every morning called “Daily Reflections” and I am going to add my “Quote for the Day” check it out, maybe it will help with peace and serenity in your sobriety.
Woo woot!! Awesome
That was the easiest day I’ve had in the last 12.yesterday I felt sick I wanted to drink so bad and today not even a strong thought. Nags at me a bit knowing it’s in the house somewhere but keeps me on my toes. Another grateful sober day and must never get complacent bc I’m beginning to smile again today. Be strong. @Lisa07 Happy Birthday, better late than never. Your a wonderful lady don’t ever forget it.
Thank you Paul. You’re an awesome friend! You’re not late at all. There’s still hours left over here on the east coast.
oh yeah I forget the time difference, I’m now going to sleep so have a good evening.
Happy birthday!!
Thank you Courtney! Keep posting those beautiful selfies.
