Day 33…checking in friends😊
- Calmly checking in.
Oh dear Kelly… I can hear the desperation in your post. I’m so sorry you are struggling so much. I hate that for you. I hope you can find some online meetings through In The Rooms. I know meetings help. I have no words of wisdom regarding your parents but that has to be so hard. Just take it one day at a time. I’m cheering you on! Hugs.
Checking in on day 60!
Checking in on day 25 - still sick - got some meds for my problem with sleeping - circadine, which is containing the natural sleeping hormone melathonine, so its not addictive, and it helps me alot. Its still hard falling asleep, but sleeping all through the night now - so thats amazing havent done that for years!!!
Hope all is doing good, and stay strong
Hi everyone . Just completed a week. Had a really good day, I’ve never stopped until now. I dragged the Mrs out of bed and before she knew where she was we had clocked up 5 miles walking with the hounds.
I’ve been decorating since 10am dancing around listening to music until 3. My wife and her best friend have gone to the comedy club while I’m making another curry. I love the stuff! My kitchen smells outrageously aromatic and eastern.

They will though and you will find a way. Whatever that way is just keep trying. You owe it to yourself before anyone else. Wishing you all the very best.
Checking in on Day 194. Shows were both rad this weekend. Stoked to be grabbing food at my favorite burger joint today. All the burgers are insane, and named after metal bands. It’s perfect. They even did a burger for my band when our album came out. Here’s a pic:
New workout program starting soon, gonna use this week to just lift, and explore more mobility exercises.
Have a strong day!!!
Checking in on Day 28.
Really having a tough time today. No desire to drink but yesterday really struggled with my brain trying to get me to believe that I can moderately drink again during the summer or on vacation. Took a drive to my beach place for the day yesterday so I know that was the trigger.
Today I got some bad news on a personal level that is somewhat related to a drunken outburst I had on the last day I drank, four weeks ago today. It’s not completely related but associated enough that it’s distressing and depressing. In a way it’s helped to rationalize yesterday’s feelings about moderate drinking but nevertheless still painful to deal with today.
Heading to the gym to try and work out some of this mental anguish- ugh!
Day 461
“When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind” — Lucius Annaeus Seneca
I reset numerous times with the mindset of never drinking again. I’ve said it before here but truly just stay in the day, today. The one day at a time had to be realistic to me; we only have today.
My home group says that, belly button birthday just means your real birthday and not your sobriety birthday! And again, happy birthday! We’re 6 days apart on birthdays! Yay!
Get the forever thinking hard to imagine for me. But for me trying not to look forward just today has got me to 13… keep strong for your 4 -6 slot sounds like you put tools in place… enjoy the game especially being sober!
Ah shame about the vw would love to see how they get customised in US.
Happy sober Sunday day 13
Day 28, I dunno why but this time it’s been easy.
You know how things goes TOO well and you’re suspicious? That’s me right now.
I would like to say, people who say, doing the same thing and expecting a different result is insanity?
It feels like I haven’t done anything different but am getting results. Maybe I banged my head against the wall so many times that I broke the wall?
No time to be over confident, gotta keep at it.
Same! I feel like summer I will try again. I tell myself, you’re happy now so why do it again? I feel like I’m throwing a problem at the future and hopefully I’ll be stronger by then.
Scary if I’m still struggling.
Checking in day 7. So far so good. Still limping about but at least I’m not hungover!
So I been in Santa Monica 2 weeks now and finally went to my favorite cafe on Montana Ave where I use to love sitting at a sidewalk table with my favorite drink a Namaste. I had been waiting to do this all winter. Well what do you know, I can enjoy sitting at my sidewalk table having a nice bottle of sparkling with lemon and still enjoy myself. I was more relaxed and didn’t have to worry why my drink was taking so long to get to me. Life is good. Sober life is better.
Lol @ what’s taking so long with the drinks!
#truethough!
Broke the back of 90 days.

Today an odd day of work, so that should keep me out of trouble.
Happy sober week everyone!
Day 13 sober. A really exhausted day. Tired but tempted. It is crazy! I hope to choose rest
