Condolences @ShadowFax on your ex Co worker’s passing. Alcohol is a killer and it’s suicide one commits by drinking. Let’s stay sober, let’s not kill ourselves my friends.
Have a glorious sober day everyone.

  1. Lots of new challenges coming up, nervous but ready to face them. Only with sobriety did I get the courage to take myself out of my comfort zone!

  1. Coffee. Feeling feelings isn’t always great, like yesterday it wasn’t, yet the alternative of drowning my feelings in alcohol is so much worse. Happy and grateful I’m sober, happy I’m here not hungover, happy for a new day. Thanks for being here all. We’re in this together. @Hailstrom thanks for the share. True. @MissJules Big hugs. You’re not alone! Have a good sober & clean day all. Love from Amsterdam.

Goodmorning day 359 :coffee:
My daughter got a gift from her internship: a bottle of expensive champagne. She said “I leave it be untill New Years Eve for all of us to celebrate!” I looked at her and then she said "and for you I buy a bottle of “Jip en Janneke champagne” (childeren bubbles). So sweet of her to think of me, but my first feeling was I was left out. No “real thing” for me. I know that’s just the addiction mind thinking. He has to f**k off! :angry:
So here’s to another 24 houres!
Are you joining me? 🙋

Welcome back!

  1. Tomorrow is a tough day for everyone in America I think. It’s such a personal day… Everyone that can remember 9/11 knows where they were when it happened, probably remembers what they were wearing and exactly how they heard the news. I know I sure do.

I used to go to New York every year before 9/11…I went one last time a few years after that day, right before I turned 21. I stayed downtown with my family over New year’s Eve…I hardly ever drank back then so it didn’t make any difference to me that I wasn’t able to go out and drink.

So much changed that New Year for me. I went through a devastating break-up that I used to jump start my addiction with alcohol…and 15 years later it’s still affecting me. I’m hoping the next time I am in New York, I’m able to be closer to who I deviated from all those years ago. And hopefully so much stronger.

@funnydad thank you for showing up that day and all those days after.

Day 10… double digits milestone reached. But to be honest, i have almost relapsed last evening. Bad day at work, bad news at home… and this little voice told me that a glass of wine would be a great help to go through such a bad and long day.
But instead of opening a bottle, I went for a run and I shut up that bloody voice !

Here it is 11 september allready, didn’t noticed it was that date today. I remember were I was too. I was walking in a forrest with my husband and my first born child of 8 months. When we heared the news we went back to our holiday villa and sat back to watch the news all day. Crying and thinking about in what crazy bad world I have chosen to put my child in. My heart is with all those people who miss someone in that big tragedy :cry: :heart:

Day 30! Feeling loads more positive today. The memories clear out I had at the weekend is just dawning on me. I sent all the things back to my step brother (wanker) via post yesterday. No note just packaged and sent…really cathartic. The feeling of passing all those photos and negative memories over to the bloke at the post office was brilliant! As he took the parcel I swear I actually felt a weight lift mentally. Fuck the past…bring on the future! Raaahhhh :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :face_with_hand_over_mouth::rofl: have a great sober day friends! :two_hearts::kissing_heart:
