Hey, be yourself, talk as much as you want to. Who’s she to say you talk too much? Be free, happy and sober. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::hugs:
Blessings and sobriety!

Thank you :cherry_blossom:
I’m trying to be myself, but I guess I need to find me first. The best thing with being sober is that after all these years I’m actually on my way doing that. It’s wonderful.
I hope your day will be amazing and that everything is going well for you. :purple_heart:

Day 26! I’m loving the early mornings waking up with out craving drugs I love feeling fresh and ready for the day . I’m working today! I’m struggling with working and fitting recovery in at moment I think it will be easier next week when Millie goes back to college so I’ll have a bit more free time. I’m still doing meetings and prayers I just need to find time to get my steps done!!! I’m so happy being clean i don’t want to ever go back to that life of drugs again. Happy Tuesday everyone x

Great to see everyone checking in :slightly_smiling_face:

Slept last night, my sleep patterns have always been all over the place. I have no sleep etiquette as they say.

I always need something like the tv on (dimmed down).
Probably so I don’t have to think :blush:

Time to get up, coffee and shower then work.
These days it’s so fucked up, two days in the office this week then three from home based on a rota.

On the plus side the days I work from home I go to my parents house so not on my own :slightly_smiling_face:

Yesterday I reached 500 days.
I feel a little surprised as I never thought it was possible to live a sober life, I had no interest in stopping until I was completely beaten.
It’s not easy by any means and yesterday was a rough day. I felt alone, frustrated, unmotivated but feelings are just that and will not kill me.
I feel much better today and know that getting sober has given me a chance to live life instead of just getting through it. If your new to sobriety hang in there, it’s totally worth it :heartbeat:

Dang!!! Everybody’s getting there sober days racked up… That makes me happy and our brothers and sisters that had a slip but keep coming back here is even more exciting. All this shows that we need not just give up cause one day something is going to keep us in long term sobriety.

That was a beautiful post. Congratulations

Good for you. Indeed not setting yourself up for failure with to many rules that make you feel restrained.
Energy flows where intention goes!
Good luck on this journey!

Thank you :see_no_evil:
How are you handling your treatment?

Im handling it better then I ever have before. This is the longest I’ve ever been sober, I’m in AA, I have a sponsor, coming up on 14 months on the 26th of this month. Tried doing it on my own before but wasn’t successful. My drug and alcohol addiction was to strong for me to just stop. I needed serious help and I found it in AA. How did you reach that amount of time sober. What’s been keeping you sober?

It’s amazing what we can handle sober isn’t it :muscle:
I did virtually the same as what you have said, white knuckled it the first time for 58 days as I knew my drinking was bad and was trying to stop because of my partner, he suggested AA I said no because of the word god, then about 5 months later I left him and just hit a point where I didn’t know what else to do and put myself in rehab and was bought to the rooms on a little white bus and realised what I needed to do, left rehab after 4 weeks and went to a meeting the next day and kept going, got a sponsor, did the steps, made some beautiful friendships and here I am :crossed_fingers::heartbeat:

Checking in.

Still clean and sober but heavy heart and depression is coming back after separation a week ago. Not eating and now sleep impaired. My mask is up now and hiding so people can’t see the pain im in. They say your higher power doesn’t give you more than you can handle? Well I’m learning today…

  1. First day back at work wasn’t too bad. Actually it was quite OK. To be honest :sunglasses:. Also nice to visit the community flower garden close to my workplace again. Now feeling quite active and taking care of a lot of business before another late shift. Spending some money online which I almost never do. Kitchen appliances, clothing, bike parts, books. With money not spend on drinking. Clean and sober. Have a good day all! Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.
