Checking in on day 19 alcohol free! I have been trying intermittent fasting again, and I just was reminded (the hard way) that drinking tea on an empty stomach makes me feel super sick. 
Oddly, I can drink gallons of coffee with no problem. 
My body is a mystery i guess

I’m so proud of you Paul. Meetings are my saving grace when that voice in my head starts talking…
Been hitting up meetings again or not yet? We’re allowed to have bad days.
I just sat and shared my pain, just about managed not to cry and I used all 7 minutes and told them if I stop talking just sit with me for 7 minutes to keep me sober. This hurts today.

Sharing is the best way to handle it. I’ve done a lot of that the past month.

Yeah, I hear ya. But if you start crawling back where you came from it’s gonna end up hurting even more. You have hope, everything is still possible, a whole life ahead. Hang in there.

Keep posting here. I think your English is great! I’m interested to learn Dutch. All I know are phrases like ‘Ik ben een kind van de duivel’, or other phrases from music that are probably not appropriate lol.
Gefeliciteerd on your sober progress so far!

Checking in day 30. Longest stretch in 4 years. Survived an afternoon with my family drinking and I didn’t even feel tempted. Feeling really at peace today after all the anxiety leading up to it. Congratulations to everyone checking in.
