@Eafc4160. Welcome Edgar! Well done on these 29 days!!
@Mno. I love seeing these days add up for you!!
@SoberWalker. Hope your pain eases up. Being in pain is exhausting and frustrating.
Day 189
I’m just managing to hobble about the apartment without crutches finally. But so far, that’s about it as far as mobility. Eve (my dog) is missing her long walks and sniffs. She can spend an eternity just smelling the ground as we walk. 
1st 14 days quitting nearly killed me (dramatic much ) I white knuckled it the whole way. Then I realised I was not doing without, and I added heaps of treats because I deserved it. And life got better 
Exactly.
Shouldn’t be looking at what you’re missing. Should be looking at what you’re gaining.
For me the main benifit is not having to think about where my next drink is going to come from.
And just being at the mercy of alcohol!
That freedom feels so so good!
It really is. I used to think they made me a better person and mom, but I notice after just a few days how my attitude is better, I have more patience, I don’t know what makes me go back to the same thing time and time again. I already know the outcome. Anyway it’s good to feel free for sure.
Checking in day 3, struggling with the back and forth dialogue in my head… but happy to be sober. Have a nice Friday 
Awww what a gorgeous happy looking dog, his smile reminds me of an old furry friend of mine. 
Day 12 kind of in my feelings no real reason to be though.
Day 12 sober. Super tired after a night duty. I am going to check the doctor and speak again about this constant tiredness although I know I have to loose weight 
That’d be my guess. I certainly became more mindful and situationally aware of all the little things, not to mention having to rely on patience rather than intoxication. The good news is, I took care of the little things, before they festered into bigger things, and the bigger things before they became raging dumpster fires.
Hi everybody.
Checking in at day 171.
Thank you
I can’t believe I’m 239 days sober. When I first started this journey I continously relapsed. I finally found my higher power got a sponsor and started working the steps. Life has been so amazing ever since. Best thing I’ve done for myself.
For those of you in early recovery best advice I can give you is take it One Day At A Time or even shorter then that if you need to. It can be tough but it definitely gets easier.
Day 41. Happy sober day all.
@anon30771928 praying for you to find coolness and peace. I am very identify with your check in today. I hope not to use the F word today 
No, you aren’t the only one. I felt that way in the beginning. Ever let your yard go to hell? Grass all overgrown. Weeds in the flower beds, in the cracks in the pavement. Shrubs all wild? You finally decide to get after it, mow the grass, pull up the dandelions, pull up the weeds. Every time you stand up to stretch your back you survey everything. Hardly seems like any progress is being made. Don’t look there. Instead, look at that pile of weeds. You pulled them out one at a time. The pile is getting bigger, which means there are fewer weeds rooted in your garden. This is progress.
Pull those weeds. Soon you get ahead of them. Your yard looks better, and when you are strolling about, enjoying it you may notice a weed has sprung up. You sigh, reach down and pluck it up. It’s now gone, and the yard that is your life looks pretty darn good to you.
Aaaaw, that’s a sweet thing to say. Thank you
I started back at my job after taking 2 weeks off to heal an ankle injury yesterday . its one of my biggest triggers but for some reason I was fine yesterday. hoping for the same tonight.
Checking in. back at the gym. blah
Got the results back from my bloodtest…
All looking good, even my liver!
Iam quite surprised about it with the amount of beer I drunk the last couple of years… But I am realy happy with those results, and realy glade that my liver is still working like he should be 
Day 16 afternoon. Just had that shitty thought that I’m sure we all know:
Look how far you’ve come. Doesnt this prove you dont have a drinking problem? Why not drink tonight?!
What a shitty trickster of a disease.
at 90 days sober. Blessings.
