So glad to see this. I am not in the check-in threads much, but I think I had read that you were struggling a bit. Way to hang tough 
and now you’ve got a great milestone coming in a few days!

Thank you TMAC,
Shamed to admit I was actually not too far from seriously considering “just a glass” a few data ago. But didn’t let myself do it. Very glad I didn’t. I’m a fuck up at a lot of things but this journey definitely gives me confidence in my ability to stick to something and persevere.

You have all the strength and courage needed to stick to your guns and keep going, and I am so glad you made the right decision and were able to move beyond the desire for a drink. That’s always temporary and sometimes it is a matter of waiting it out – and of course, you can always come onto the forum where you won’t be alone in it.
I am tremendously proud of you, great work.

I’m glad to see you back. This is the first time I heard of your relapse. I’m sorry. But I’m glad you’re back. We don’t have to do this alone.

Day 15 here.
Had some mental battles over the weekend but didn’t cave.
Back to the work grind…which is actually a good thing because I rarely desire a drink during the week.

Hi everyone. I’m checking in at day 48.
And I’m still not maintaining full custody of my eyes and mind. Yeah, I’m doing better at this then last year. But I wonder if I can ever put out these cravings to act out for good. I’m understanding more that I’m addicted to a fantasy, a lie. But a big part of me still romanticizes this.
Feel the need to do another grateful inventory. I’m not easily seeing all the benefits to sobriety. One thing I’m superly grateful for is TS. And that’s a HUGE resource that has changed my life completely.
I’m getting the help I need. Sometimes, I just want to act out so bad. But I’m passing through each time. I don’t want to get discovered. I don’t want to start over. One day at a time. Yeah, I should be allright. Feeling hope, but recognizing that this desire to use will not go away easily.

Day 21. Three weeks. So tired and so cold. I don’t think my 20oz Americano coffee at 5:30p was the best idea.
This morning, woke to do a “Love yourself” talk and meditation on Insight Timer. My teens were awake and in my face. They are never awake at 7am. I am tired and irritable.
Switching my language to “I know I am alive because I feel these things. Be present in them and work through them.”
Also, farm duty begins today. The chickens are laying 18ish eggs per day, so I will be the proud owner of 10+ dozen eggs by the end of the week.

Congrats on 3 weeks @EarnIt! Nice work!
Fresh eggs are so good. We’re blessed to have a neighbor with chickens and they always share. We take care of the chickens when they go away and it’s always a fun experience.

Day 15!! I have been reading everyone’s posts!! Great job everybody!! 
Last night I was SO bored!! I think I am going to buy some board games and puzzles and non alcoholic drinks so next time that happens I am prepared. I also need a new book. But stuck it out, today is a new day and hopefully I am better enough to go to the gym soon.

- Things are pretty awesome
I’m pretty happy with my new job and in the last couple months, I’ve been looking into buying some property. I’m not sure whether I want to buy one house or several apartments and rent some of them out. Never in a million years did I think I’d be having those conversations but I’m grateful to my parents for giving me the opportunity to be in a position to have them. Also looking forward to my holiday and ALSO looking forward to spring! This winter in England has been raw; I’ll be glad when its over.

I’m out with my pooch and am realizing our 2 week long winter has come to an end. This is the nicest time of year in Az. Dont be jealous because in a few months the death ray will be on full effect…
