Happy Swedish National Day.
And day 14 Sober for me.
A typical day for drinking before, the weather is going to be sunny until this afternoon, and last year at this day I started out by drinking champagne and shots by the pool for breakfast, and was probably already drunk by now (It’s 10:30 here)
It feels really good not bw drinking today, and we are planning to go fishing in the river with our boys later.
Checking in. I put on a little weight since quitting drinking, because extra sugar. I’m now freaking out about it a bit. I am not at all overweight and I’m healthier without alcohol, but I need to cut back the ice cream. Ideally while working on being body positive.
You shouldn’t see it as a label. See it as a guide. When I got diagnosed with autism and ADHD I was very upset at first. But then the events in my live and my behaviour became very understandable, because I knew what caused.
For example, I now know why I got bullied a lot. I was different due to my autism, and I took all jokes wayy too serious. I didn’t understand that they’re comments were friendly roasts, I thought all the children hated me, because I take everything literally. I also learned how to deal with diagnoses.
It is not something that defines you, it is a guide for people around you and for yourself
Day 24
Not much to say. Looking forward to being able to count in months again.
Congratulations Joost, that’s fucking awesome, lekker bezig
You know that’s a middle finger and not a pointing finger right?
7 days down and happy with my attitude towards myself I’m an alcoholic, alcoholism does not go away. Take it day to day and remind myself I am that way…look I’m a poet and I didn’t know it too peace out x
Checking in sober, Day 151. Have a happy Saturday, everyone!!!
Day 3! Feeling so much better today i just wish I could get more motivated I’ve not been to work for 6 months due to breaking my arm and lockdown I still got another month off … I been doing some mobile haircuts but I’m so out of a routine so I’m gonna try my best to get more focused. My daughter is away with her dad until Monday so I have a free weekend to focus on myself. Happy Saturday every one wishing you all a blessed day x
Thank you, the pic when it was lit where actually night time. It never gets really dark here during the summer 
9.27 days… I’ll sleep one of these nights. I had a pretty big realization yesterday. I don’t love alcohol, I love the perceived social life it brings me. I’m less shy and much more outgoing. However, those days are pretty much gone, I just keep going, holed up in my house for days or weeks at a time. I’m miserable and hate it. I don’t eat, and it’s just so damn gross. I hate that effing poison and that’s what I need to remember. I need a social life. Alcohol won’t bring me that, even if it appears to mask my insecurities.
I’m grateful for breaking down and agreeing to go on meds. It was a big decision as it is a lifelong commitment for me. I’ve already gained a lot of insight into myself after my first therapy session. I look forward to continuing. I’ve also managed to be ED free for 2.56 days.
Hi Conor! Awesome work 297 
You’re doing excellent work but I’m gonna keep the distance 
Approaching day 26 in sobriety. I recovered from my first hard craving. My brain played tricks with me. I felt ill physically and my emotions sideswiped me. Now I’m back to normal and very thankful I didn’t succumb to this insidious addiction. 
I totally understand how your feeling being stuck in all the time gets quite lonely I’m always saying I need a social life but struggle being around people!!! Im really missing face to face meetings they was my saving grace through my recovery … thank god we have this safe place to offload. I really hope u feel better soon x
Congratulations on your 297 days. I’m very proud of you 
After a long time I’m checking in here again… I am back to this amazing bunch of people on here that have helped me to get to 200 something days. All of you. But I kinda disappeared for too long. Haven’t reached out for help and I remembered how I started my sobriety last October. It was with all you guys on here and the 30 day experiment. Which I will start today again. Back to day 1.
Checking in on day 269. Going to a meeting in a little bit. First coffee. Have a good day everyone!
My God. Also Congratulations on your 269 days Cristel. You guys are just such an inspiration to me
