Wonderful news!! I am jumping with joy for you!! 
So glad you guys caught this early… What kind of sugery needs to be done? Praying for a speedy recovery!
day 33 checking in.
Feeling tired…anyone else get super tired after quitting? I’m not sure if it’s from quitting drinking or vitamin deficiency.
Anyhow, I notice the idea of drinking seems less and less glamorous each day. I still gloss over the beer selection at the store, but I feel strong enough to not actually buy anything.
My 23 year old daughter also stopped drinking a day after me, but last night she got pretty hammered. She was taking whiskey shots and chasing them down with white claws. It felt so weird to see her glossy-eyed and impared while I was still 100% sober. Alcoholism runs deep in my family’s veins many generations deep.
Sorry for the long check in…happy sober Friday all!

Maybe the tiredness is from the gluten?? Could be that you do have celiac and a vitamin deficiency from the disease. My sister has celiac and I remember thats how she found out she had it. I hope not… keeping my fingers crossed.
Or could be the PAWS… either way I hope you feel better soon!

Just curious, did your sister get back to normal after avoiding gluten?

Ugh. Dammit!!! I’m back. Again. Checking in at another attempt at day #1. This is getting old and I’m exhausted at being a professional drinker and need a new job lol
Last stretch was 332 days in a row so I know I can freaking do this again! Took a year or so off to nosedive everyday and waste my life blacking out every night then waking up every morning swearing that “today is the day I’m going to quit!”
I’m back to minute to minute and excited to get to the hour by hour and hopefully graduate to day by day.
Thanks for reading 
I hope this is my LAST day #1

Yes it is
Flying to my home town today. Airports are normally a trigger for me - loved that anonymous beer or 3 - but arranged a morning flight so it was fine. It’s 30 days for me tomorrow and feeling a bit anxious because my family are big drinkers. Mum already expressed disbelief that I wont be having pints with my uncle and I know he will try and get me to have a drink. I really want those 30 days though. Just need to stay strong.

You’re doing this girl 
it’s hard… so damn hard but you deserve to have the absolutely best life you can have. If your ex is still using/drinking imagine how difficult that would be for you to stay clean and sober. Remind yourself of the reasons you left and hold true to yourself. You are a beautiful person 
someone better will come around hugs

Happy Friday! Still working on getting a week but am feeling positive about my recovery so far. Last night was rough… kept thinking and thinking and couldn’t shut my mind off. Thinking about my addiction and how much control it has over me. It controls my emotions and my mood. It controls how I treat myself and other people. It damages health, my finances, and risks my relationships. Why does my mind trick me every single f’n time to forget how bad things really are. In 12 step meetings they say that our mind will lie to us. Im truly seeing that now. Im seeing how I create all my problems. Going to keep myself busy today i think. Maybe do a resistance band workout and do some self care . Thank you for being here. I’m so grateful to have all of you in my life

18 days today. I felt a strong urge to have a glass of wine this afternoon but so proud I resisted! Lots going on with my son back at school soon and me still working from home due to covid. Plus its a Bank Holiday weekend so my husband has already had a couple of beers. Going to stay strong and drink tea!

Don’t tempt me I’ve eaten shit loads lately. Honestly though mate this app and community is the best out there, OK so I only tried one other but it told me everything I needed to know. I’m now going to look at the selfies thread and cry over the faces I’ve not seen for a whole 24 hours. Anyone got a tissue.
