I can imagine how hard it is sometimes. You’re a strong man and each day will show something to be grateful for! Is that trampoline still in your yard? Lol… I’d be on that everyday!

Day 2. One thing I love when I don’t drink is waking up in the morning and feeling good!

13 hours with no alcohol. 5 minutes as smokefree. My irrational actions yesterday cost me 29 days alcohol free and 101 days smokefree. Today I threw out the remaining beer and cigarettes. Went for a walk with my neighbor. Today is my day one.

Hahaha i had a really bad sleep too.
Like @anon60334405 said, once I restarted training (when I last stoped drinking for awhile) I thought I’ll be able to sleep like a baby. But nope, not last night even if tired a lot. If I’m correct, it’s like the body is used to counter-balance the depressive effect of alcool on the system at night when we use to go to sleep dead drunk. I sometimes feels also that the hour I use to start drinking I’m getting anxious from inside, like an excitation that won’t stop, because my body is used to get shut down by alcool around this time of the day (plus of course the behavioural part of drinking).
Sadly, in my last longest stretch of sober time (198 days) I always had hard time falling asleep… tried every routine possible, nothing worked. It looks like I basically need 2 hours of chilling in the bed before falling asleep. While my girlfriend needs 2 minutes 
I’m so jealous haha

@Amm you didn’t loose those 29 days. Good job on 13h back.
@livingfortoday day 2 was rough for me yesterday. Had hard time mid-day to supper time. But resisting the urge left me at night with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Today I woke up sober and feels great, even if I’m tired a lot and a bit depressed: non-alcoholic people have those feelings all the time. Good day 2 to you!!
Was just thinking as I took out the trash how I always used to come up with ways to hide the bottles. Always the guilt the next morning, n promising myself that was the last time .But then convincing myself to pick up another one on the way home. Strange part was, spending my life being so independent n not caring what people thought. I was always proud of who i was n what i stood for. But now i was hiding a part of myself i was obviously ashamed of. Happy n proud every morning I awake n find the strength to face another day AF, n be truly independent again. Thankful

Day 18 sober weather is awesome again.
Schools out for the kids on Friday,it’s been pretty easy to stay sober this far no matter what I did. I’ve turned drinks down, I’ve been putting the bottle down in the liquor store. I’ve been staying busy, but it defenitly feels like it’s getting harder. This weather and the bright warm summer nights makes me think of pouring a glass of champagne, or making a cocktail to enjoy in the sunset. Endless brunches with champagne outdoors and enjoying life. I’m not going to let myself drink because I know I can’t stop. But it’s constantly on my mind, and it’s annoying me to the point where I just want it to stop.
Next weekend we have the midsummer celebration coming up, I haven’t been sober during midsummer since I was like 14. Sad but true.
Wishing y’all a good day.
