So I took my first âvirtual chipâ at my meeting tonight, which was kinda awkward but also gratifyingâ:rofl: I learned that I will be having a nephew and not a neice today and yesterdayâs interview for my promotion went good and Iâm feeling good about it either way. No real cravings or meltdowns either, just a nice day of relaxation (mostly⌠i had to change one weird light bulb)
So i celebrated with some frozen bananasđ, yum!
Iâm glad you made it, good job staying strong when everything feels like chaos. And as many in here already said to me, check in as often as you need even if that is every 15 mins or more often. Itâs always someone here to help if you need to reach out. And donât forget that you are awesome fighting this hard to stay sober and keeping your focus on that.
I hope the rest of your weekend will be a little easier for you. You can do this
Guys its Saturday morning I am on day 7 and I made it through Friday night âŚno alcohol.
I have not had a clean Friday for almost a year
.always listened to that voice while driving home from work to buy a bottle of booze then drink the lot when I got home just because I would tell myselfâŚgo on its Friday and you been working hard all week âŚ
Yesterday was tough though I had my boss and colleagues stressing me out then one of my colleagues sent a picture of her drinking gin in the garden in the sun âŚI though it would bother me but that didnât as much because I thought she is going to have one bad head in the morning
As me well I am bright as a button this morning
Fell fresh fell free feel alive
Itâs not easy but I am taking each day at a time
Great job staying sober throughout the Friday. Amd congratulations to 7 days and the first sober Friday in a year.
I know you wrote that it didnât stress you out with the picture, but if thereâs a risk that it might trigger you I would have asked them not to send things like that. Hopefully theyâll understand.
Itâs a really nice feeling waking up sober without a hangover during the weekend. I wish you a wonderful Saturday. Keep focusing on yourself, you can do this.
150 days without alcohol. It has been hard to be willing to stay present this week and not give in, particularly in light of recent acts of violence against already marginalized groups in my country. It would be very easy to give myself over to hopelessness by getting shitfaced, but I know that drinking wonât help the situation. I am choosing not to drink. Instead I will attend a protest tomorrow.
@MrsOdh Thank you I feel great feel proud of myself dealing with a Friday night I was dreading but I stayed strong and slept amazing
Your right I think I will have a chat with my work colleague about sending me pic of her drinking
I have deleted all photos that I had in my phone relating to alcohol
So I will have a chat with her
You have amazing Saturday too
We got this
Haha that is the exact feeling!! day 7 for me todayâŚSaturday nightâŚso stoked Iâve made it through the weekend! The Ginger beer in the fridge was like bloody magic when the wine witch hit! Bring on double digits!
7 days, and itâs Saturday
I feel awesome, and todayâs BBQ doesnât feel that hard at all. I had one non alcoholic beer yesterday, I usually have a lot of champagne and a few beers. Iâve always thought that I really like beers, but turns out that I donât. I donât like the bitter taste at all, but I probably loved the buzz I got from it. A nice insight and it makes life a little easier.
The weather here is still lovely and weâre about to do some shopping today, and buy some new garden flowers. Happy Saturday everyone
