- Coffee. Work. The app says it’s my full year so I’ll take that. Even though it’s a jump year. Will try to write some more later. I’m glad and I’m proud but I got a long way to go. Huge thanks to you. The people in this place, you all, have made this possible. Love to you all. Clean and sober. Hugs from Amsterdam. PS. Time for some new goals.

On day 6. Yesterday I went to bed very early after my night shift before. Now I am almost fresh like a baby and thinking what to do on my day off. My kids are adult, my dog died, I am divorced. So I have no duty. Freedom can be great, but it’s challenging too.

Congratulations! 1 year is more than changing a habbit. You stayed sober Christmas, Easter, all celebration days, happy and challenging times, sadness, sickness, through sunshine and rain. You have all my respect!

CONGRATULATIONS. Well done. I am sure you’re proud of this achievement and yourself. This a difficult way we have chosen but it is the RIGHT way and with ‘little’ help from others we will stay on the track.
I wish you many many more sober years.

Checking in on day 2. Waking up with energy. Starting the day with making some strawberry cake. Reading on the experiment again. Although I’ve done it before I love it a lot! Have a great day you all

Day 4 and feeling so much better today im loving being back here with you lovely bunch this place is where my journey began 16 months ago and it’s been a massive help to me . My daughter is with her dad until tomorrow so I’m gonna take teddy out on a long walk and spend the day with my partner. He’s helped me so much since my relapse and I’m so greatful for his love and support especially as he’s also in recovery and fights each day to keep clean. I hope you all have a beautiful day xxx god bless you all x

Day 25
Today a petty thing upset me. I knew it was petty, so I was upset I was upset over it. Before, that would have festered all day, a kind of cognitive dissonance not unlike the love-hate relationship with alcohol. But from the little I have read about step 4, I really thought about what me being upset said about my faults or weaknesses. I realised it was all about my feeling I should be more sociable or a better friend. My people-pleasing trait. And u know, I was grateful for being an alcoholic, because it taught me about the 4th step, and therefore about myself. And I could move on from being upset in a couple of hours. I really want to work on the 4th step properly. Even if I don’t go beyond it, it helps me understand myself.
