Day 25. It appears my week-long funk is coming to an end. This morning I woke up refreshed and rejuvenated. Did some errands today which I usually dread but I didn’t stress it and ended up having a good time doing it. I can’t believe I got through last night, I wanted to freak out so bad but I remained poise and didn’t do anything irreparable.
I can’t believe I have the strength to do this. This is so unlike me. 
Sounds nice, Charlie. How was the flight and comfort level flying?
Checking in on Day 12, winding down. You have all been so supportive of my journey, your words when I’ve needed them have soothed and calmed and encouraged me. When one of you hurts - I want only to do same for you…
@anon79808082 I’m getting in the back of the long line of people in front of me, all of us with hugs to give you. Whatever clouds have blown in just might pass before I even get to the front of the line… 
@Fargesia_murielae “And no one can reprogram my mind to reset this corrupted structure. No one but me. Work in progress.” Your posts always have such gems in them for me - something that seems utterly relevant to my journey and the task ahead, the day-by-day, moment-by-moment rewiring of my brain. Thank you for these gems, and for you. I’m glad you’re here.
May these clouds pass through your skies quickly - and any rain or tears bring beautiful blooms tomorrow…
Good night, beautiful ones - and good morning shortly to some of you!
M 
That’s so sweet, thank you.
Hell yeah congratulations to you sir!
Day 50 everyone, day 50.
Was at my sisters garden party yesterday, and decided that I’m totally done with family gatherings is it isn’t my brother who is going to hold one.
My sister and her man have been arguing for days, so I agreed to come and help. Her man’s side was invited and our (my sisters side) and everyone was really drunk except for the kids, the teens, our driver and me.
We wasn’t supposed to stay that long, but we didn’t got back home until 3 thins morning. The bright nights easily turns late in the summer.
My sister and her man started fighting loud and ugly. I got really tired of my husband who was drunk and eventually we had to put my sisters man in bed, while she was heavily drunk and mad. And my mother had so much to drink that we kinda had to lead her to her driver’s car.
When we got back home me and the kids went to bed and my husband decided to fry something in the frying pan. He also had to much to drink last night so he ended up burning it really bad.
We had a serious talk before he went to bed, and we decided to stay away from family gatherings as much as we can. Because they only ends the same way. And that my husband too is going to try staying sober now. He didn’t even plan to drink yesterday in the first place, and yet he did.
I’m not sure he’s going to hold it, because he just started his vacation but I hope he will.
I’m tired being surrounded by drunks,and at the same time really greatful for being able to stay sober.
The sun is shining today, and I feel so sorry for my husband and all the people missing out on it because they are being hungover.
I might not have gotten in to the university this time, but I’m still feeling that I’m on the right path and about to turn my life into something good.
22 days man I love me sobertime
I realised I gotta to train my mind to be happy from the moment I wake up in the morning
Checking in!
BTW I’m still amazed about how other people without drinking problem can’t realize how proud I feel about myself. But at least I learned that it doesn’t matter. I know I’m freaking killing it 
Stay strong and healthy! 
Day 1. Check.
Congratulations 
So happy to hear your staying sober in the face of such stresses and triggers. Those parties sound kind of awful. Lol
Keep coaxing your husband to help himself, but you stay sober for yourself. You’re doing great. Keep up the progress and don’t give up on your dreams like writing and university. Ttyl
day 213! I was very productive today, cleaned my house and went grocery shopping 
Thank you 
Yes the gatherings are pretty annoying, and I’m feeling really released being done with them
I’m definitely staying sober for myself, I don’t think I ever felt this good before. I’ve got my ups and downs but I wouldn’t want to trade being sober for anything at this point.
How are you today?
German I’m guessing? 
Day 1. I looked in the mirror yesterday and I didnt like what I saw. 
My drinking has gotten out of hand again. I think I am going to try checking in here again. Idk what else to do…
I should come clean to everyone because I have been hiding it. I hate that I am this way.
What a beautiful song. I’ve always appreciated Joni but never heard that song . THANKS SO MUCH. @Bootz =Wishing you many many days on the ice soon and for as long as possible.
Great idea coming here. Definitely unburden yourself by being honest to everyone you know. There’s no shame in making bad decisions. You can be proud that you are recognizing you need help and asking for it. Hit some meetings this week. AA can really help. Best of luck
It’s great you are here and being honest. Next step could be to be totally honest to your family and people around you so that they know you don’t drink anymore. Have you tried to do the 30 day experiment from Annie grace? It helped me twice now to get over the 30 days and learning so much about myself and alcohol. Good luck
