Checking in for Day 12 without alcohol. Finally had a decent night of sleep, though still having strange dreams. Energy & outlook improving, though! Thanks for all the messages & support!

I have the groggy thing all of the time. I can’t seem to get rid of it. However, I am not sure it is not related to me doing so much more now.

@Jenni
Day 1 it is, but I am proud of you for getting back up so quickly.

@MissG1
Great work and great numbers. Hopefully I can get there one day.

@Benroth
Good work on day 7. Keep going and make sure you have something constructive to do tomorrow.

@Girlinterrupted
I hate to hear you are going through a divorce. However, your numbers are getting better day-by-day.
I am proud of you tackling 2 issues at one time. Keep up the good work!!

@Salty

Enjoy the snow globe!!

Day 39! Worked 30 hours this weekend and have a big test Tuesday so I’m a little stressed. But still didn’t drink or smoke and that’s always a victory :sunglasses:

Day 12.

Thankful for a sober day spent mostly with my son. Match games, activity books, curious George, old family videos. Then we hit the gym for some basketball and trike time trials. Pool and swim races afterwards.

Called into a telemeeting and just wrapped it up. Doing well about hitting steps 1-3 each morning and finished up my journal reflecting on the day. Overall, today was a win despite some minor cravings. But I got my body moving shortly after they crept in. Also, being a dad gives me a great purpose.

This is my first time posting. I just downloaded the app. I’m on day one of quitting prescription pills. I’m going to read and check in everyday as a way to keep me on track. :muscle::+1:

Day 441. I thought I’d be taking a longer break, but here I am. It’s surprising how much of a difference it made to my mental state not checking TS so often throughout the day. I’m going to work on being more intentional with the times I do visit, and having clearer life-TS boundaries.

Sunday, so there was nothing planned today, just my usual daily activities. I tried to just chill but I mostly just coasted in a state of distraction instead. Argh. That and riding out some serious emotional stuff. Now heading into the week with all its groups and appointments. Wheee…

  1. Coffee. Last early shift for a week is coming up. Could have done with some more sleep but I’ll manage. Happy to be clean and sober. Happy to be alive. Sober and clean. One thing I don’t like about this forum is people just disappearing like that. I totally respect it but I don’t like it at all. Will miss Liv/Mel for her great insights and her great personality. She helped me a lot. Hope she finds what she needs. Thanks so much Mel. Have a good Monday all. Clean and sober. Love from Oosterpark Amsterdam.

Day 485 - I’ve had some tough days lately. Lots of issues to unpack and figure out how to solve. No matter what happens though, I know I’m not alone and for that I am grateful.

Stay beautiful gang.

644, another day sober is good with me. Oh and I hit a month of mindful eating which I settled on just fully cutting out soda. 30 days without soda is a win for me. Plus 30 days of being more aware of what I consume. Might not be perfect but it’s progress.
