- Started an exhausted Friday evening yesterday on Instagram. Bad idea. I am not on it much these days but wanted to check out the climate strike posts. Took my daughter to our city’s strike. Anyways, I follow one of my favourite artist: Brandie Carlisle. She posted about her favourite red wine. The instant I saw it, i thought ooo that looks good. A romanticized picture of the bottle in a warm lit room. Then I felt a stab to the heart. Not me, can’t and won’t have it. No matter how it gets romanticized, I know the headache and heartache it would cause. I got over it pretty quickly. I kicked out all the sorry for myself and thoughts and moved on.

Woo-hoo!! That’s great!
I’ve ruined my relationship with my boyfriend over my drinking… I know I cant change that but I can change me. I’ve had 2 failed marriages because of my drinking. I’m starting to see a pattern here… it’s too late to go back. I can only move forward. So I’ll go forward, even if its alone.
I have to get clean and then maybe I can truly be happy

Day 69 1/4.
Haven’t been here in a while, fortunately not because I relapsed - which I didn’t - but because I’ve been really busy.
Anyway, for the last month or so I’ve been trying to cut out sugar, completely.
The only thing I gained are pretty much intense alcohol cravings that are really hard to fight. I’m still coping, though :-).

How long did you go without alcohol, if you can remember?
I’m asking for one simple reason: after the first couple of days, you WILL feel happier. More confident. That’s just my opinion.
Anyhow, just keep in mind your goals: you are heading for some good and some tough times, but it’s worth it.

- Trying to wake up with coffee and my day light lamp. I still have to dig out my rain gear as it’s raining steadily and I have to get to my early shift
. It’s OK. Life’s not easy but it’s so much better without booze and drugs. Love the sober and clean me. Have a great Sunday all! Make it sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

No, it’s not time to get high.
It’s time to end this cycle of self destruction.
You wouldn’t have told us if some part of you didn’t agree.
Using will absolutely make things worse.

Congratulations Dave! 
days is great, Somehow I knew from the start I would reach that 1 year milestone too, but just one day at a time.
Yes, @AMtoday it will get easier! For me it went easier after 3 months or so. After that it went only upwards. Sure I still have some bad days, but doesn’t every “normal” person has those? So keep it going, it’s worth the hard work!
Welcome here @Kevin_Strome 🙋 And a nice sober strech allready to start with, well done!
Don’t @SoberCali! You aren’t here for that! You started here because you want a different life for yourself, a better one. So don’t distroy it please 
Sorry to hear about your mom, is she in the hospital now?

Day 19 and day 3. Its 7:15am and I wish I could just sleep all day, instead I’ve now got a 10 hour shift. Sober though.

Day 377 
Started my day with coffee and my daylight lamp. Also bought a 5-http supplement yesterday to help me with my current mood and bad sleeping, hope it helps. I think my mood also has something to do with my last milestone and my day counter telling me “all goals completed”? Don’t know, just wondering…
