Day 325. Gee, it just gave me shivers to type that number. I have come so far. Friday I was a tearful mess (thanks @MrCade for checking on me and for everyone else for the support). I have learned in this process that feelings aren’t facts and feelings won’t kills us. Everything is impermanent, especially feelings. Discomfort passes. Comfort passes too. Bad day? This too shall pass. Good day? This too shall pass. Today, well, this exact moment is a good day. I am off to meet a new sober friend to go for a hike. The weather isn’t the best, but no matter!
Geez, I love you guys fighting for your sobriety hour by hour, day by day. Hope everyone has a decent 24.

Ariel, I’m in the doldrums today. First time not feeling level for a while. Don’t know why. Just woke up and thought huh!
Normally I’m just on a level. Plodding along.
But as you say, " this too shall pass"
Oh the joys of life!

Day 424
Had to have a bit of a mental reset today and use the unexpected time off work and rearrange a few things. Can feel myself trying to run on self will a little bit which just can’t happen. So it’s pen and paper time and just reorganising a few things. There’s so many things I now want to do in sobriety but I have to realise they can’t come at the expense of my program, steps and basic routine. I really have to keep it simple with this head.
Much love to you all, a lot of positivity and joy in people’s posts lately, they are all a pleasure to read.

I did that when I was about a week in. I was proud of the counter and was trying to messenger my wife with a screen shot. I accidentally posted it on my story.
For about 3 hours, until I managed to work out how to delete it, there it was.
I got one like. But I don’t know how many people saw it.
Ah well. I was kinda panicking though.i didn’t want it out there then

Yeh, maybe I have to look at coffee differently 
It’s just that I don’t like the feeling that I NEED coffee to get started. It reminds me to much about my need of alcohol I guess…

It will be ok, my dear friend, Geoff. It will pass. Welcome those feelings in for a cup of tea and get to know them. “Hey feelings! It’s been a while! Let’s catch up and tell me what you need me to know.” You are a champion!

Just read your link, thank you! 2 to 3 cups a day I may drink according to that post. So I only have to let go 2 cups, I can do that! 
3 a day I can handle, not 2

Cheers Nick. I’m supposed to be working out the materials I need for plumbing up this barn, but I’m finding posting on here is lifting my mood.
Just one of them days!
