  1. Coffee. Back to work after more crazy dreams. Interesting ones. Not scary or drugs/drinking related. Obviously it’s busy in my head. In a good way. Working on myself. Making some progress. Happy to be alive. Happy to be sober and clean. Have a great sober week all! Love from Amsterdam.

Day 198. Feeling rather disconnected from the process recently and perhaps a little bitter/resentful. Ive been around drinking more than usual this past couple of weeks, seeing friends having a good time and I confess it has brought about temptation. I haven’t indulged but the thoughts and bargaining have been there. Playing the movie forward has probably been the most useful tool, and not letting my brain trick me into complacency.

All in all Im just feeling unsettled and uncertain, but will continue to push forward.

Have a great day sober gang, and strive to be the best you can be :+1:

6 days: So far i feel good and didn’t have real cravings at all.
But I know that the alcoholic inside me is lurking around the corner and ready to strike wen I am at my weakest. I will try to stay strong and let only the positive thoughts into my mind and try not to let negative thinks that will happen to me be a reason to drink again.
Today I will stay sober, I can do this! :blue_heart::muscle:t3::pray:

Yep.
It’s 3am and my knee woke me up. Gonna take a hot bath to try to get some relief, and to make sure I don’t smell like moth balls. :older_adult: :wink:
I really hope your back is feeling better soon.

Day 192
Nothing much else to report at this ridiculous time of the morning.

Have a good Monday, y’all!!

@Hailstrom Funny thing for me it is the opposite. I was in my old bar last Friday and my old drinking buddies were all there getting drunk. Very unatractive bunch. I left when they started to talk loudly and a bit incoherent. Didn’t stay to watch the football match in the bar. I’m not advising to do it like this to anyone but to me this works therapeutic. I might miss the social circle buit I don’t miss the drinking at all, in fact I’m reinforced in my decision to quit and be sober. Drinking is getting more and more stupid to me. Congrats on you continued sobriety Hailstrom!

Day 14. Feeling pretty good, other than the fact that it is Monday. Back to the routine of the week. I’m so tired I just want to get back into bed and sleep but it’s time to get up and face the day, sober :grinning: happy Monday all :wink:

Day 1 again. Tried some visualisation last night so feeling like I can actually do it this time. I found out about the health risks associated with how much I’m drinking and visualise myself in 10 years being told by the doctor I have cancer. I really closed my eyes and lived it. Before this wouldnt have worked but now I have found my soul mate I want to live for her. In the scenario, as future me, I thought “was it worth it? If you could speak to me 10 years ago, of course you would stop drinking.” So thankyou imagined future me! My life will be amazing from today onwards!!!
