Day 1 checking in. Really trying this time. I’m so tired of drinking and snorting cocaine and dont know how long my body will keep taking the stuff in. I need to make the change. I’m going to AA tonight and gonna make an effort to do daily meetings and post on this forum daily. Thanks and hope for all the support as I will do the same for everyone else.

Wow, congrats!!! I cant even fathom that number showing up on my screen one day (only 357 to go!). You’re a badass. Keep putting in the work!

Day 1 again. Made it to my 4th AA meeting today,
and two of those were back to back. I dunno but something feels different this time. Cautiously optimistic…

91 days. Been having some great days lately. And yesterday was at the pub for a couple hours with some family, I was never tempted to drink at all. 👍

Day 17…tired, hungry and tired. So glad this work week is almost over. Mostly thankful that business has slowed or I’d really be cracking from stress. I reached a goal weight today and my husband was like “way to go, wine down Wednesday!” He replied with a “just kidding” before I could even ask “really?” Guess it slipped from his mind that I’m not drinking. Speaking of slipping, since I have done it so much this past year I’m sure he expects it sooner or later. He doesn’t say it, but that just what I figure. Hope everybody enjoyed a “wine-less” Wednesday.

(We now return you to your regularly scheduled sobriety, already in progress… ❤ ✌)

Probably does. But do you blame him? I’m sure my wife thought the same after its taken me 2 years of continuous slips and relapses. She’s even said a couple of times that she doesn’t believe I’m not drinking.
But I know. That’s what matters. Honestly with yourself.
Your doing great, just concentrate on you.😀

Day 339 ☕
Not awake and I don’t think coffee is going to help today. Late in bed after the long drive from Germany and early out of bed because of work.
But off tomorrow so gonna focus on that 😁
Have a great sober day folks ❤

Day 76 (which in my book is the 76th day of my sobriety, so I’m 75 days sober. Might be a bit confusing so might switch to my sober days). Anyway, slept way too short. The dawn was nice though. Remember seeing it like this and feeling this way from when I quit smoking September 2015.
It’s still my long weekend. Looked at AA meetings to go to. Again. There aren’t too many in Amsterdam. Somewhat surprisingly. Might go tonight. Going for a walk now. Have a good sober day all.

The Big Day 5 0, lol! From last week Friday I was absolutely great like my old self then boom from Saturday to Tues/Weds a massive grey cloud with brain & body in over drive of negativity & thoughts, presumably PAWS or just a bit of a bad spell again/Brains readjusting etc?
Tried to keep myself focused, family time, house chores, went for walks, kept up with my yoga & meditation even though felt like death warmed up/sweating etc and trying to keep with a routine.
All in all makes you think no matter how hard it is now, your slowly getting better no matter how much your brain or body plays tricks on you to reach for the pills or whatever, first time in years I’ve only took my sertraline and vitamins/supplements daily, not even a paracetamol, let alone the crazy amounts of tramadol I was taking.
