It’s might be stressful, but your not going to use it as an excuse to drink are you Sparkle?
Anyways, work and life will throw things at us all the time. It’s how we deal with it that counts.
Be the person who just takes it in your stride no matter what.

Good morning, or afternoon or evening, which ever applies!
Day 25. Today I struggled to get up, but I did anyways. So here’s to a great sober Tuesday! My exercises are getting easier. I’m not in pain afterwards. I know I’m going to have to step it up soon, but for now I’m not going to apply too much pressure on myself! I hope everyone has a great day. The best thing you can wear is a smile!

Have to say, this app for me is great, love seeing people checking in be it day 1 or day 1000!
Spend a fair bit of time reading and replying to posts, definitely a help 
Watched a couple of documentaries on alcoholism last night, mad what we do to ourselves physically and mentally (that goes for other addictions too)!!
Typing this at ‘work’

Well, hello. Checking in on what will be day 25. Woke up in the middle of the night over a work issue, but because I didn’t wake because I’d been drinking, was able to tell the anxiety to pass off. 3 AM thoughts are always ridiculously overblown. Coffee, writing, workout and then work-work. Sober is a great balm for the soul.

so true. After the glimpse of what sobriety can bring us just after a couple of days or weeks, I saw how much the obsession I had with alcohol was just in fact and obsession about avoiding stressors, feelings, adversity. But the thing is, they all seems that much of a stressors only because of the booze itself… Sober I can do anything in my days… where is the stress in going to work? where is the sad feeling of waking up sober? where is the adversity in making dinner? Nowhere. It came all the way down from the bottle.

Today is day 100 for me and I have to admit I’m very proud. I never could have imagined doing this and I know I couldn’t have done it without the forum and all the great people on here.
Thank you guys, you are all awesome!! The sense of support and community here is amazing and I’m proud of everyone else on here who is fighting the same fight for sobriety every day.
I don’t share a ton on here but you all do feel like another family. Have a great day everybody
