Day 41. Happy motherās day. Unless you are a seahorseā¦
Kick ass!!! Way to go dude!!! So happy for you!
Back on day zero again. Just sober out from 7 days long relapse and feeling completely devastated.
Will try again taking it day by day.
Sorry to hear that Rad; are you going to do something different?
Iām sort of in the same boat and I realized I donāt really have a strong foundation other than here and abstaining. I have a big book from aa I started reading again and was just going to listen to some YouTube meetings.
Stick around here more too and talk to us!
Day 62ā¦
Spent some time at my moms today with my son. She was happy to see him!
Happy Motherās Day to all the Momās!!
Normally, commenting about cute chicks on the internet would be a low point for me. Totally not the case here. What does one feed a quail chick?
Hi Donna. I will definitely need to do something else rather than just hope I will win with addiction on my own.
At the minute trying to callm down anxiety as is way to high to concentrate on anything.
I will have a look at these online meetings just need to put myself together.
HAHA good one!! Luckily they are born able to feed themselves kinda like chickens doā¦ so we got some chick starter feed at the feed store. So far so good. In a few weeks we will be taking it for walks in the desert.
Hellllooooo! I would have liked your comment, but Iām out of likes for the day! Iāve been hiding behind my likes instead of commenting lately! You canāt blame me, itās my nameās fault!
Great post. Happy Motherās Day!
Checking in: 7 months and 2 days. Yesterday was absolutely awful. I fought drinking the whole day. I really thought I didnāt have to fight anymore but I was begging higher powers I never knew existed to help me. Complacency is an insidious monster. Just soo grateful I stayed sober. One day at a time. It really does help having other people who are invested in your sobriety. I donāt think I would have got through it otherwise. My toolkit is much improved this time around and it made a huge difference. I feel like I went to war yesterday I am physically and emotionally exhausted today. Happily my demons also seem to be exhausted today. Stay strong everyone.
175 Days: Happy Motherās Day to all the wonderful mothers! Spent the day with my mom at my sisters house. Great day, made my BBQ ribs and had momās potatoe salad! Almost felt like a normal day. No masks, but we did keep our distance from one another.
I was lucky enough to get tested for Covid 19 last week. If you havenāt experienced this yet donāt!! Honestly feels like someone is sticking a small stake in your brain and then wiggling it around for 15 seconds. So awesome. Luckily I was negative, but I have had four of my installers test positive in the last two weeks. They are all doing ok, but Iām nervous about the rest of the installers who work for me and their families. Whatās a little more stress during an already super stressful time. One day at a time has never had a more important meaning in my life than it does today.
But Iām still sober with no real desire to drink. My brother-in-law did offer me a Moscow Mule at the bbq today, one of my favorite summer drinks. Although the thought was tempting, I was well prepared and politely declined. Heās not aware of my almost six months of sobriety. Itās not as obvious Iāve quit drinking as it was when I checked into rehab last time I got sober! The rehab kind of gives it away.
Happy to be sober, sick of being bored, need a vacation so badly! Keep fighting everyone. We can all stay sober for one more day! Thanks for being here for me, your help and support has made a huge difference in my life. Love this community!
Congrats on 6 months sober! And I totally hear you Iām so bored and need a vacationā¦ hopefully sooner than later.
Thank you! I think we all deserve a vacation!!
We sure do!
Day 602
I decided it before, but it didnāt work out then
Going to try it again: more distance from TS.
Iām here every day and that helped me a lot in staying sober. But now that alcohol has not a big part in my life anymore I want to give it less attention. Being here is attention.
Iām also too much on my phone and want to reduce that too.
So donāt worry about me if you donāt see me for a few days ore more!

Day 400 Time is flying by, but overall things are good. Stay awesome all!
