good morning everyone, had a great weekend with my beautiful girls, this was Addie’s outfit yesterday, autumn didn’t want her picture taken. Busy weekend so I didn’t check in, but I was reading still and keeping a eye on everyone. Keep it up you all are doing great, just keep busy the best you can. Can’t believe I’m at 84 days, it flys when you look back, like holy shit im almost 3 months sober, I’ve never made it this far in my life. And seriously it does keep getting better, my mom last night referred to me as a new Mike and that im doing great, it was kind of weird being reffered to as a new Mike, but I geuss I am kind of different a lil bit. Anyway happy Monday everyone, and congrats @Clarity on day prob 31 now you rock girl, and @GVLNative almost 90 for you man. Beat your last record of 80 hell yeah man

Day 110.
I spend a lot of time googling AA stuff. Read some pages of the big book. Does anyone read it too?
I don’t know how to start with the 12 steps…

Anyway. Over the weekend I had my 2nd challenging alcohol moment.
My broter in law offered me a beer. There it was. A can of cold beer. A taste i haven’t tasted in 110 days by now.
My mind went: nu fuck. He’s gonna offer me a beer. By the way he doesn’t know or wouldn’t care about my sobriety.
But I strongly said no to him. He offered me again and i declined. I don’t want to lose my sobriety.
It means more to me than I could ever have imagened.

Best way to start is to go to meetings (zoom!) and ask someone to be your sponsor and take you through the steps. There are lists of meetings here Online meeting resources

Day 100 no alcohol or drugs. If you had asked me if i thought i would get here a few years ago or even a few months ago i would of laughed right in your face throwing out the negative your fucking joking right. Today i do my damndest to be the opposite. I stand on a slowly forming but solid foundation based on love, determination, family, friendship , counselling, treatmemt, 12 step meetings everyday, sponsor, homegroup, and lastly and certainly not least actually maybe most important a renewed and unrelenting belief in a higher power of my understanding.

@Fargesia_murielae gosh had no idea you were on ship that most be strange… Hope you get home as soon as you can
@M-be-free49 well done for getting to 7 days :slight_smile:

Along with Wim Hof breathing now started cold showers - I am such a wimp up to about 10 secs at the moment, they say it does you good so I am listening to that advice.
Revising for the interview scheduled tomorrow and then going to vegetate on sofa and watch a feel-good film and snack - naughty food, my rebellious streak coming out!

Have a great day to you all.

Cold showers are the best I’ve been doing to the same in the mornings. After I get out I feel happy, I’ve taken a couple warm showers to see the difference and I really like cold showers there is alot or benefits from it, and congrats on day 14:)

yes can see the benefits my brain certainly gets activated with the icy water on my head :slight_smile: reading, they say people get to prefer them and there are many benefits. I am at the stage where I have loud music (apparently this helps) and scream a lot :grinning:. I am following the program on Wim Hoff website for breathing and cold showers and do really enjoy the discipline of it.

Congrats on your days, they have stacked up so quickly… :100:
