Day #7
No headache and dry mouth, especially no regrets after wake up. I hope sobriety goes along with me until my last day.
My work and social performance has boosted by 10 times. No piled tasks, no stress. Everything goes smoothly.
I hope you all enjoy your adventure. Cheers.

  1. A lot cooler today. Some showers around but will go for a (smallish) group ride, first one this year. I donā€™t feel very sociable, but I better do it or will just hide in my shell indefinitely. @M-be-free49 Thatā€™s a pretty accurate description Emm. It helps knowing Iā€™m not alone in this. Thanks. The pic is for @050Nl. Hope it brings a smile Joost. One day at a time friend. My love to all. Sober and clean. Have a good day.

223 Days: My emotional and mental roller coaster amazes me. I start to feel like Iā€™ve turned the corner and Iā€™m happy, but then I find myself back in the same place Iā€™ve been for years, feeling pretty shitty about life.

The problem is me, and I know it. This is a huge reason why I drank. To escape reality, erase my self awareness of how far away I am from true happiness. I like to bury my problems to pretend that they donā€™t exist. All this really accomplishes is preventing me from truly moving forward and achieving some real growth.

I need to do more, but part of me is terrified. Iā€™m not sure how to move forward. But Iā€™m not giving up, Iā€™m just stuck. Tired of being stuck. Tired of feeling this way. Tired of seeing other people be happy and always wanting that, but never doing what I need to in order to have that.

Iā€™m happy Iā€™m sober. Iā€™m proud of how Iā€™m managing my feelings and acknowledging them instead of erasing them with alcohol, but I need more positive actions.

I know I give one person way too much control over my perceived sense of happiness. As many times as Iā€™ve thought I was over her, one phone call, one glimpse of us working out and Iā€™m sucked back in. But the story never changes. I donā€™t know how to shut that door. I just know I have to.

But Iā€™m not going to drink, I canā€™t and I donā€™t. Iā€™m going to get up tomorrow morning and see what I can do to take one step forward. Blah! Sometimes life just feels shitty.

Day 26. Feeling inspired so have revisited the miracle morning. Up early and feeling good. Such a contrast from last month when I was falling out of bed late morning with liver pains and a groggy head! Trying to harness my fear of going back to old problems and instead create a positive future.

Good morning everyone, checking in sober! A small shift in plans yesterday. My daughter was supposed to come here for dinner and a movie, but she got a large foot tattoo thatā€™s pretty swollen, so she invited me to her place instead. She cooked me a lovely dinner, it was such a nice time. I donā€™t even have the words to express how much I love her.

My stbx husband is coming over today to keep me company and watch a movie. That should be nice. We get along so much better now that we are split up. I probably do need to consult my therapist as to why I still hang out with him though lol.

Have a wonderful day everyone :heart::sunflower:

Day 491. Had a really nice start to the day. The bassist in one of my favourite bands posted on his IG about sobriety so I sent him a message. We ended up having a little chat which was lovely. Have a great day all :+1:

One of my all-time favorite footballers. Heā€™s the reason I played out on the wing, and why I was always more pleased with delivering pinpoint crosses than I was scoring goals myself. Nothing like sending in a perfect pass to set up a goal and you give eachother that little nod after making the connection.

I can so relate to your post; to see it in words made me think of why I do that also. I called her the other day and it was probably a couple months since my last call. My sister lives down the street from her so she does all the heavy lifting; sheā€™s 86 I think now and I really should get up there to see her soon. :heart:

Day 750 alcohol free

I donā€™t have anything to say ā€“ just 750 is a nice, clean number.

A few things to take care of but I am looking forward to another quiet day. Iā€™ve had a hankering for 80ā€™s fare this morning, so later Iā€™m going to watch ā€œFast Times at Ridgemont Highā€ or ā€œPretty in Pinkā€, havenā€™t made up my mind yet.

Aloha, Spicoli.
