Just checking in 
At work today for another shift. Still working on my recovery. Spoke to hubby today about me attending meetings. He said that wasn’t a good idea 
not sure why. We will talk about it once I get home from work. I feel like I’m pulling at straws here to gain some decent recovery time. Idk.

If you think meetings will help, then you need to go. It’s your recovery not your husband’s. My husband complains when I go because it’s at dinner time but I’m not letting anyone get in my way.

It’s about the best and safest place for you to go so hopefully it won’t be a big ordeal for him. You know what’s best for you!

Thanks @Misokatsu, @Fargesia_murielae and @Lisa07 for your wishes, had a great sober day at the beach with my 2 brothers, my daughter an aunt and her 2 kids and my daughter’s friend. Another birthday without a blackout, thank you God.
@Dolse71 and @Bomdhil, you’re always in my prayers. Love you guys. 
Blessings and sobriety y’all!

Well, the ritual is something you can find elsewhere. Mocktails, tea, or any other creative outlet. Lots of ways to pass the time and make something, why not pick something you can be proud of!
The buzz is something we can recreate too, maybe not precisely… But that’s probably a good thing. Because with any positives that happen with that buzz, there are a lot of negatives! I’m sure you have your list of the shit that happens when you drink. I know I do. The good bits of alcohol - the confidence, the happiness, the talking, being silly - are all things we can find sober. Maybe not as instantly but if we work at cultivating them for ourselves, without the assistance of substances, then we will get all the benefits available to us whenever we want them, without the drawbacks

I can’t figure out HOW to copy / paste my progress screen. I’ve tried various things, but it doesn’t seem to want to work.
Could you please tell me how you’re doing that ?
Thanks
Good evening, everyone. Things are calm today in Brussels, it rained for a while, so I didn’t get too far from my hotel room.
I’m about an hour away from my 11-day mark, the old fortnight is getting closer. I’m already quite pleased to be on double digits, I’m looking forward to the fortnight and then the eventual month.
I hope that everyone is well tonight… I have to get up somewhat earlier than usual tomorrow, so I will be packing it in quite early.
Thank you for all your posts, everyone.
Good night, be sober!

Well said! Actually just finished a cup of tea haha. We cleaned our windows, living room and kitchen. So I was able to focus on other things. Thank god…
Another Belgian! Always nice to meet!
Actually not Belgian… I’m Canadian but I live in Switzerland, and I’m just here for two weeks for a work assignment.
Sorry to disappoint.

bloody hell I’ll try, so take a screen shot of your progress then come on here and press the little picture frame with a mountain in it at the bottom right of your screen, go into files and choose photos and press the screenshot and press done. All this is for an android phone by the way.

Checking in with no fancy photo but still sober and I’m very happy that I didn’t carry on where I left off or wallow in self pity. Day 0 and counting…

thanks for your help, I’m not sure that I would have thought of that otherwise.

I’m more surprised than you, I’m crap with technology and explaining things. Oh and directions, names, DIY and now apparently sobriety.
