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 can’t fail as long as we keep trying!

Things a relatively good except that I can’t sleep and even when I do sleep I’m always tired. I hate sleeping pills and have tried everything else. Finally broke down and went to my doctor. She’s 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. Let’s all get one more day!

Day 5 here :slight_smile:
Kind of afraid of the weekend coming up… my brother is moving and it’s 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.
Don’t 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 I’m gonna do that.
And I’m vegan too so that’s sound like a good treat for post moving day hahaha :sweat_smile::muscle:t2:

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. :yum:

Day 2, 17 hrs. Went to my first ever AA meeting. I only listened and observed. I earned my 24 hrs sobriety coin. I’m not sure the direction I’m taking. I just know I’m 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 I’m 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?

Late evening check in. I did decide to do the group therapy in another town as there is hardly a waiting list there compared to here where it’s 8 months. Will hear next week if it’s going to work out. Might give my plan to buy a car a boost too btw. And secondly I’m very happy with the performance of my lower back today. Rode my favourite stretch, saw the ocean, now back home and my body feels fine. Happy! Have a good night all. Love from Amsterdam and Zandvoort.

You got this, but I get what you are saying. Moving sucks and usually includes beers. Check back and let us know how it goes!
