Day 56, haven’t checked in the last couple of days. Was really in a funk, angry af and just couldn’t get out of it. Even with my lifting usually it brings me back but I was just staying angry. Atleast I’m sober, and this is my week to come back to work, it’s only me and 2 other ppl so alot of work and cleaning to be done. Hopefully things start getting back to normal here. Idk have a good day all

m please to announce that my wife and I are new members in the one year sober club. I would not have made it this far without the love and support of my wife.
In reviewing the last year I would say the following things
Are you more Happy? Yes
Is your marriage better? Hell yes.
Is your relationship with your friends better? same and good.
Do I still have bouts depression and of anxiety? Yes but is more manageable without alcohol.
Will I drink alcohol again. Yes when I go into hospices care or age 100 what ever come first. Until then not today.
I would like to thanked everyone on TS for their support on coping skills, stories and humor on this journey. It is much easier to do as a family than alone.
Now on to the 500 day club

Day 3. Working from home with no conference calls so should get a fair amount done. Also going to run some laundry today. Sleep was meh. Woke up with some mild fear/anxiety but still way better than panic attacks and dry heaving post-drinking. Just trying to focus on the next thing and acknowledge feelings as they come up without trying to analyze or dwell on them.

Thanks to all who have already congratulated me. I’ve been cutting back on TS, FB, Reddit etc to guard my mental health. But I still read a lot and love seeing everyone still working things out. Don’t give up!

Good morning. Day 71.
Did my readings had small breakfast and ask my higher power to help me stay clean and sober.
I am getting increasingly nervous as Thursday approaches when I 'll start a new treatment program for 12 weeks.
Bought my first brand new laptop yesterday. Used money I made legally, didn’t buy it from a pawn shop or a fellow addict. I have a zoom meeting at ten a.m. so hopefully I can figure that out.
Have a great day everyone.

I hear you…and I also think…what can I let go of? What can I move forward with? Like handkerchiefs…I was reminded yesterday by a dear TS friend when I was contemplating my own ‘diaper’ pail, that the answer to no tissues is handkerchiefs…duh! My Mom has a ton of them. One of those old ways that got lost with single use tissues. A simple switch out! (Any squares of old cloth will do).
I like your thought process.

I finally got all my Id’s squared away for the Military. Lately, my Sciatic has been flaring up leaving me in crippling back pain. Had to take a few days off from work to calm it down. It’s been slowly getting better. Today, I go back to work though. My girl is happy, her daughter’s are happy and my mother, father, sister’s are all doing well. This is all possible because I didn’t pick up that 1st Drink for the past 6 months. Have a good day all! Love each and everyone of you!
