Day 90. Great marker and encouragement. The battle has just begun. Yesterday labour day holiday in Canada was a great temptation to indulge in ‘just one drink, how can it hurt’ thoughts flashing on and out into my thought process. But that was yesterday. Today I am here to maintain my focus to be sober mentally and physically, to be glorious in my behaviour and free as a bird.
Checking in, about halfway through my third month…I am doing ok, but this woman (my ex) is really going all out to make things as miserable as possible…driving me effin nuts.
Thanks man.i luckily have a lil bit of stuff at home to keep my chest and legs going. I just had everything I needed… Bench, all the weights and I sold it bc I had the gym at work
We’re so glad you came here to join our community. Everyone here is so supportive and those who have been sober for months/years provide us all with such positive feedback. We hope you’ll stick around and check in daily. So many interesting articles to read and recommendations for podcasts and online meetings. I’m on day 47 and my life has already changed for the better without the bottle! We can all overcome this by taking it one day, one step at a time.
Welcome Kayla. My first day here was 250 days ago. Thanks to all the support here and lovely people, and some hard work and determination on my part, I haven’t had a drink since. I Couldn’t have done it without my friends at TS
Keep coming back. Your worth it.
What?!? Something about that number is surreal. I knew it was coming, but looking at it is amazing. Celebrated by eating Tacos, had some cake…then danced to Billy Joel’s “she has a way about her” with my love. Couldn’t think of a better way to spend it. The only reason I danced tonight, I made a decision 900 days ago to take a gun out of my mouth, and put alcohol behind me. Its hard as fuck to get sober, but the journey was worth it.
That really is a lovely number. What better way to celebrate than having Tacos on a Tuesday
Great job. Love reading about success like this. You rock!!
Day 29
It is amazing how much more motivated u feel once you have a fair chunk of sobriety, and how you have time to do the things u are motivated about!

Been a while since I commented in this hread. Today was a good day. Went to school. Then did grocery shopping for my sister since she has COVID symptons. Went to a snack bar. Third meal in a row that’s french fries lol(dont worry, this is not my standard diet). I got home at 7PM. Studied for a test that got postponed yet again. And following meeting since 8PM now, but gonna go to bed soon as I have school tomorrow.
As I stand here in my room and I look back at my horrible nicotine addiction(almost 2 packs/day), I can’t believe that it had so much power over me. But my will has won. I can’t express in words how much this forum helped me. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. God bless you all!
