Alex…checking in on this thread, every morning first thing, has been really helpful to me. You might find it to be as well. Good luck with the new job, silly hours and all!

@Salty. We are all only 1 drink/1 slip away from day 1. I do love watching other people’s days increase almost as much as my own. It’s heartening!

Thanks Geoff. I agree! I definitely use others as motivation. I’m amazed by so many here; their motivation, resilience, strength, those overcoming obstacles, those who stumble & get right back up… it’s so great to know we’re not alone. Such a great support system when in my world, everyone encourages me to drink

Thank you :blush: I know it’s silly to think this way, but I look at the time I could have had if I didn’t reset. But I know that’s not a helpful way to think. I can only look forward. So I’m looking at it now to be proud of the 13. Thanks for the support!

Day 242. What happens if the phone rings and my mother needs me? What happens if my daughter calls and needs my advice? Am I available to watch my precious grandsons? Will I make good decisions? YES!!! These are no longer worries on my mind. I am here. I am present. I am sober. I am blessed. :tulip:

Very proud and inspired to read this! Congratulations!

Day 172. And acting out has been on my mind a lot. Had to get some things on the web for my gig today. So my phone is not locked right now. :worried:

I’m using a safe browser, but if I want to access porn, I can. Need to find a better solution.

Okay, so for now, I created a whitelist solution to block the porn access. It should work pretty good, but I like having no access to the web on my phone. I mean, if it works, don’t fix it. Right?

Anyway, I’ve been craving alot. I still am. Logging onto TS seems to help. Looking at my consequences card helps too. (Thanks again, @Wunderbar)

I forget about what my addiction costs me. All I remember is the high. Was doing some explicit searches on my safe browser. Its blocked me so far. So I’m only sober by the grace of God. I really feel weak today. This too shall pass.

Happy birthday @Fireweed

Your attitude is incredible.
Don’t worry about how many days you have. As long as you’re sober, you’re where you want to be. :+1::grimacing:

Hey Alex,
Glad you’re back.
If you wanna make it to 3 days, let’s do it together.

Day 313

That feeling, when you’re sitting in an uber, on the way to the airport, posting on TS, and you suddenly realize you left the house without your passport.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggg!

It’s a small airport, so I might get away with it. I dunno. I’ll have 20 mins to get thru security.
