Day 921
All is good over here, except that my body hurts bc I went a little crazy on my sport routine yesterday 
No pain no gain right? Laying on my couch, relaxing and going to bed soon.
Tomorrow: haircut 
Good night friends

Today was a strange day. This morning I went to my old hometown with my sisters to go shopping. I miss the place a lot, have a lot of good memories there. While we were gone my stepdad took off for an unknown amount of time. I was aware he would leave for a while due to him causing a lot of stress in the house, but I would have loved a possibility to say a proper goodbye. Cooked for myself for the second time ever. The first time I ruined noodles somehow. This time I just had to heat something and I did so successfully. Hit the one day mark on nailbiting again, think this might be the one. Then went to work. Got pissed, because even though I tried my very best to be fast, I did not by a long shot get done within time. Despite my stepdad leaving for an unknown amount of time and other factors, I felt decend today. I think that might change tonight when Iām alone with my thoughts for the first time today. Tomorrow will be a more relaxed day, except for work

When I was wasting my time, money, health, and life away in the bottle, Iād never have my shit together the way I do now. My productivity means my income is a whole nother tax bracket different which also means, not only are my bills paid, but savings account has a comma in it! I attribute 100% of my growth in only 349 days to my sobriety and the confidence gained thereof.
Credit has never been better. My portion of the mortgage is paid a month in advance. My bills are paid as soon as I get the invoice instead of waiting on the due date. I fill my gas tank up instead of a few dollars at a time. No more paycheck to paycheck. And I can put thousands in savings per month. Who am I, even? Lol Donāt even recognize myself. And oh yeah, nearly 30 lbs down from when I quit last year! I want everyone struggling with their addictions to put pen to paper and get to working on yourself. Focus on your WHY. WHY do you want to quit your drug of choice? What good do you think will come of it? Think about your why when youāre out at barbecues, at weddings, at sports events, at birthday parties. Imagine having a glow, having extra money in your bank account, being thinner, or with more weight or more muscle, with a happier relationship and friendships. Put your why to the test and begin living with purpose. You can do it. If I can, you most certainly can!

Day 24. Been feeling this low level of anxiety all day. My mood is wildly different compared to the beginning of this week. Allowing my emotions to be and pass is not something Iām used not doing so consistently. Iām so used to fighting back with thoughts that say āthings shouldnāt be like thisā or plainly just feeling sorry for myself. I really do not want to go down that road again, so for now Iām just dealing with it the best I can.

Day 11 winding down, and winding down well. It was SUCH a work day, and - letās say I was the drinking kind - well, youād find me now pouring a glass without even questioning it, as though there wasnāt even a choice to makeā¦ but thankfully, Iām happy to report that Iām no longer the drinking kind! 
Looking forward to a rainy weekend - splashing in puddles with the dog girl, books, naps, coffee, and feeling my nerve endings slowly come back to lifeā¦
Happy Friday to all of you! I hope your day has been another fine example of a sober life well-lived

Both of u were welcoming to me when I first joined, so I will always hope for ur sobriety and wellbeing. If u need time away from the forum I get it but look forward to the updates. That doesnāt mean the updates have to be positive or entertaining, just open communication.
Week 3
Continuous rain here and quite severe flooding in Western Japan. Second wave of Corona in Tokyo, too. I donāt live in either of these areas but feeling a bit anxious. My ice-pick headaches have been a little better, still debating whether to get it checked out. Have a sober weekend all.

Checking in sober (d.657). To be honest, been in a funk lately, lots of strange, uncomfortable emotions. Not sure what I want for my future. Just feeling blah.

Been fighting this getting sober battle with starts and fails for over a year now. But Iām back on day 1 again. I drank last night after almost a two week stretch. Same reasonā¦, anxiety got the better of me and the alcohol devil won. Still going to keep moving forward. Apologies to my friends Iāve let down. I didnāt drink over my birthday I didnāt drink over my daughters 18th birthday though there has been plenty of drink in the house but I took my eye off the ball and reduced the amount of time I was giving to my sobriety and so last night I lost. Just got to let it go and look forward again
