Day 88.32
Decided to take today off to get away from the computer. I am planning to organize my garage (that is a complete mess). Off to pickup a van to get the sheet goods I need. Not sure how far I will get, but it will feel good trying. 
Everyone stay sober, happy, and sane!!! (or any two of these)
Checking in. Day 4 is complete. Approaching the weekend which is when I would usually drink. This weekend I’m not going to do that. Instead I’m going to take baths, give myself a facial, and bake cookies with my daughter. 
Happy Friday everyone
I love that daily reminder! That’s wonderful
Check in day 90!! 
A little tired haven’t had my coffee, still can’t take a screen shot
Going to clean up, get coffee and breakfast in me while I do my morning readings. Have a great day everyone.

Open the app you want to screenshot and go to the exact screen you want to capture. Press and hold the Power button on the right side and click the Home button at the exact same time. (This helps to ensure you don’t activate Touch ID or Siri by accident while trying to take your screenshot .)Dec 16, 2019
It may take a couple times til you get the hang of it!
I’m going to do it the Saturday after this one. I’m moving on Monday, so my internet got cut off yesterday. I didn’t want to pay a whole month for four days. I’m looking forward to it very much though!! Will you be on that next one? Glad you powered through. You give me strength. It’s so hard when it’s your own brain talking shit. Like, I literally convince myself this isn’t what I want. It’s freaking sinister. I’m fighting that inner voice every day lately. I don’t drink over things/circumstances, I don’t know. Just insane.
Congrats @Lisa07! I think with time it gets better. You’re not at 2 mths anymore but I get how it can feel like it sometimes. Hang in there. You have so much going on in your life you should be super proud you are sober!!!
Well hello Claire and welcome! You found a wonderful place with a lot of support. Congrats on day 1 
Day 219
It’s Friday. 7 mths ago I really struggled on Fridays I’m thankful that today it’s just another day of the week. There’s no special meaning to it. Working from home has helped make that more of a reality but still, I’m not struggling with any desire to drink today and I woke up sober. For that I’m thankful. I’m trying to shift my thinking towards being more thankful instead of critical. Especially with myself. I have to start making better choices in other areas of my life though. Not drinking is great but it’s not all that needs to happen to become the best version of me. I love reading all the posts here because they give me hope to keep going and remind me of where I’ve been. Hugs from Texas. 
Day 4 sober. As I expected some cravings showed up today, 4 day seems a critical day for me, I prayed, I called and I post here to surrender this temptation
@GVLNative thanks for your posts, always inspiring, I admire your determination and your sportsman spirit
Good morning, checking in at 9.71 days.
Still battling want vs. need
The inside voice tells me this is just who I am. However, I really enjoyed my day yesterday. My guys needed me quite a bit, and it felt good to be clear headed and present. I find it strange to actually be proud of myself for doing what I should be doing, but whatever. I feel like the world around me is drinking in quarantine, but honestly I think that’s just social media hype.
My husband’s driver’s license and mine are still suspended. He’s actually taking it seriously and doing everything he can to rectify it. He may have gone a little too far at the DMV yesterday as he was escorted out! 
(Divorce is on hold until courts open back up 
)
So, I already had to go to UPS to return my DVR boxes, and then he called and said we had to go get that DMV form notarized for a third time! They keep losing it. So two birds, one stone. It was amazing to go out into the world. Just amazing. It was my first time venturing out since mid-March! It’s very lonely being quarantined by myself. So I was chatting up clerks like I would if I were drunk lol. Normally I’m pretty quiet and shy. Not yesterday lol.
So, I have to finish packing and I like to get my apartments spotless before moving. So off to do all the fun oven, cabinets, fridge cleaning and the rest of my packing done. I can’t wait to move to my new place Monday. So excited!!!
Have a great sober day everyone 
Day 101 today!
From today in “Daily Reflections”: ‘Fear knocked at the door; faith answered; no one was there… Fear is an illusion. I create the illusion myself.’
Have a strong day!
Nice work I want thatttt 
You will get there! How many days do you have now?
Day 17.45 check in
Yesterday was horrible. Depressive states smashed me to the couch all day. I don’t know and I don’t think it’s newly-sober related symptoms: it was there since at least two months, by bursts and stretches, and probably exacerbated by isolation.
Let’s try to make today better. Have a good day guys!
Day 2 … been here many times and this is the last 
Thank you so much - it feels like the right thing to do and hopefully I can share to help others as well. Sending love and hope you have a really good rest of your day. Going to do a bit of exercise with my son now.
Congrats to your son and you Marie! I was thinking of you when I had my little ride today. Thinking if you like rivers so much you should come over here. There’s and endless number of rivers, brooks, streams, rivulets, canals and all sorts of waterways here to hike along. This is the little river Gein close to Amsterdam.
