* Checking in daily to help maintain focus

Thanks! And yes, you can achieve the same, you’ve just got to believe it, and then take one day at a time. Some days are harder than others, but everyday you go to bed sober is another day on the recovery journey that you will feel good and proud of :blush::+1: it’s worth it. And, you’re worth it! I wish you all the best!

Day 25.
Today was challenging but I’m not giving in to the temptation because in the end that’s all it is, nothing more. So I had a bacon tomato sandwiche for supper because bacon solves all of life’s problems.

Struggling today but I won’t be shot down. Life is what you make of it and breaking down won’t stop the clock. Today I choose to stay away from alcohol. I hope all of you find your way to another sober day

Checking In: Alcohol 25. (Day 4 of keto)

Off work, until Friday night. Had a productive day… took care of a few things that needed to be taken care of around the house. Went back to the gym after taking a week off and it felt so good to be back. Going to bed soon :sleeping: Have a busy day tomorrow :upside_down_face: Hope everyone enjoyed their day :sunny:

  1. Today was stressful. I’m tired of being worried about money all the time. My ex was laid off. Our financial situation is very much intertwined still. Not only that, but I’m really upset for him. He is a good employee and he deserves better. So hopefully he will get that. He’s already looking for new jobs and has an interview tomorrow. I do feel like this is a blessing for him and feel something really good will come to him from this. Anyways it’s not my story so I shouldn’t be feeling bad about it, but when it comes to money I get overly worried. I tried to let go this year of my financial worry…I was letting go, because there was nothing I could do, unexpected bills kept coming up and I decided to be ok with it for once. But so many things have happened this year and seem to keep happening. My sobriety isn’t exactly strong…I need to keep playing the tape to the end and maybe being more involved on this app… Drinking to alleviate stress is an easy one for me to see right through… But romanticizing alcohol is my Achilles tendon. It’s like a bright ray of “happy (delusional)” light is shinning on my thoughts surrounding alcohol and it’s making it hard to see clearly to the end of what’s on the other side of those cravings. Momentary satisfaction and numbing will not move me forward, it will only move me back into the cycle of addiction.

Day 600 and something

I Am not sure if the number matters really. Its sobrietà each Moment which counts.

Its a cold morning. I have some difficult meetings at work…but will work or the issues at work matter to me in 5 years ? No. Will being sober ? Yes

Have a good day folks. Its worth the effort…each day

Day 358 :coffee:
I think my back is healing a bit! Slept a bit better and didn’t cry when I got out of bed.
Having the day off so taking my time.
Strange to see my days creeping towards the 365 days. I’ve had a long stretch before (5 years sober), so still mixed feelings :cry:
Happy with my allmost 1 years sober, but sad that I drank after 5 years of sober days.
I know that I have to focus of the “NOW”, but some days are easier then today I guess. Milestones are tricky you know :pensive:

Glad you are still here and checking in Dan. :facepunch::muscle:

I hope by the time you reach your milestone of 1 year sober your back pain is completely gone, so you can dance, jump, roll, party or what ever you wanne do to celebrate this achievement :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::wink::muscle:t3:

Hey Lady,
May I offer some words of encouragement. You’ve shared much of yourself on this app with people who needed only a kind word to overcome the hurdle in front of them. You’ve given many the momentary strength to continue on the path to a better life. It would be upsetting to those who have looked up to your strength to see you falter and step backwards. Whatever it is that has you doubting the road ahead will pass. Hold on till you see the goal clearly again. Your friends are here for you if you need support… Heres to a better day…

Day 7: I made it to stay one week sober again. It’s not my first sober week and definitely not my last. I feel realy strengthened by the the choices I made last week to ask for help with my addiction.
Also all the support I recieved here from all my TS friends encourage me to stay sober.
Thanks for that!
Let’s have another sober day :blue_heart::muscle:t3::facepunch:t3:
