Congratulations!
Wow wow wow! Congrats on 9 months. I know it hasnāt always been easy, but youāve worked hard and pushed through. Amazing!
Day 28. Iāve been here before several times and yet always fail. I feel like failure is just on the horizon. But Iām doing things differently this time ā therapy sessions, IOP meetings, meditation. I canāt fail again.
Today is all any of us have L. Yay you and go you and doing good you. Just keep going.
Hell yeah! Congrats on the 9 months!!
So happy to see this Donna, nice job!
Thanks! Appreciate it.
9 months!! You are MY hero!! Great job!!
207 Days: First of all it makes me thrilled seeing all the people taking on this battle for sobriety. Seeing some great numbers popping up and love hearing from all the people refusing to quit even after they slip backwards a little. We canāt fail as long as we keep trying!
Things a relatively good except that I canāt sleep and even when I do sleep Iām always tired. I hate sleeping pills and have tried everything else. Finally broke down and went to my doctor. Sheās running a bunch of tests and bloodwork, hopefully she has some sort of help because life is pretty good except my energy is zapped!
Love seeing all the work and support from this TS community. Letās all get one more day!
Thank you Chris!
Checking in day 4! I had a great sleep last night.
Im looking forward to the boozefree weekend
Day 5 here
Kind of afraid of the weekend coming upā¦ my brother is moving and itās usually a kind of day that i would be drinking some beers in the day and ending up at my place drinking more as a treat of a big day of work done.
Donāt want that.
You got this!
Maybe try to plan out another treat for the end of the day that you enjoy? My friend and I are getting vegan sundaes tonight!
Does your brother know you are trying to not drink?
Maybe I should tell him before hand, exactly. Well Iām gonna do that.
And Iām vegan too so thatās sound like a good treat for post moving day hahaha
I hope the chat with your manager went well and that you have a beautiful, restful, happily sober weekend! With or without makeup on (I can relate!)
I defintely recommend telling your brother! I was so relieved after I told my sister, and she was super supportive. She said if I ever was havinng a hard time or felt like I was going to cave, to call her and I can stay with her until that feeling goes away.
Yes! Get some vegan ice cream!! Im excited for this sundae tonight.
Day 2, 17 hrs. Went to my first ever AA meeting. I only listened and observed. I earned my 24 hrs sobriety coin. Iām not sure the direction Iām taking. I just know Iām searching to doing things in a different way. I got a contact, who I will call this afternoon.
Hi, @M-be-free49! You are so kind. Manager convo was fine, but I still feel ashamed and Iām definitely going to see a decline in my performance review. I am finally eating. Long walk with dog this morning. Little bit of work. Noon zoom meeting AA (it was fabulous). Try to take a nap. 6 pm zoom meeting AA. Ice cream and a movie. Regardless of what happens professionally, my sobriety comes first. Working towards 5 days. I never want to experience a week like this ever again.
You are beyond kind, and I so appreciate your support. How are you holding up?
