Day 45. Overnight roadtrip for medical appointment for my little guy. Hotels normally a “fun” excuse for a few drinks after his bed🙄 Not tonight! Maybe some swimming, lounging with snacks and TV

Love that quote thanks for the reminder. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in momming and taking care of others, I tend to forget about me. This is not my first attempt at getting sober, it is my first attempt at opening up about it and finding support. I’m just going to do what I can and whatever I don’t get to I will just do it tomorrow, I am going to focus on my sobriety more and my strict schedule less, just for now. thanks for reaching out and for the encouragement @keiti

Thank you @anon12657779 
Isn’t ’chuffed’ a great word?!
I will never forget your kick up the butt post to me. 
It started a change in my mindset, which was the catalyst for my journey of hope. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

THANK YOU @Frantasticooo
For quite a while I was a bit jealous of your numbers. I could have had around the same, if ‘I’d been better’ or ‘worked harder at it’ … etc., etc., !!! Now I understand that our journey is truly our own. Comparisons suck: Progress not perfection 
Love you and love the positivity you bring to TS girl!!

Checking in halfway through day 1 
wondering if I will ever get this right because i am very sick of it. Not sure why I continue to self-sabotage by drinking when I’m a better person sober. Feeling like shit today, but i know it will get better. I guess it comes down to making a decision and sticking to it no matter what… just venting

I know you want this Jen, dig deep and fight the urges. Once you get past the first few it’ll become your new habit!

I had a meltdown last night after drinking after being sober for some time. I was so upset with myself I did the wrong thing and ran away instead of reaching out here. You and I are sober twins now 
♀. Day 1 again feeling terrible after a Vodka debacle yesterday evening. We can check-in each day and roll up days together.

Awesome, sounds like a plan! Reaching out is always the way to go. I didn’t reach out either, but glad we’re both back. Day 1 twin 
lets do this

So sorry to hear that, what pushed you over the edge?
A good day that turned quickly. I had fixed my plumbing, mowed the lawn, cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed the house. I then went for a 6 mile walk. Towards the end of the walk I told myself it was ok to have a beer. As I know, 1 = drink until blackout. Needless to say I woke up with my clothes still on this morning. Back to Day 1 that quickly.

It’s OK to be frustrated. Feel the feelings. Learn from them and move on. Don’t beat yourself up. You only fail if you quit. Just take it one day at a time! We’re rooting for you.
