Well done, the first month can be tough, you nailed it x
Oh HoneyBee, I’m sorry that you’re feeling this way. But you know what, you can do this. There’s so much delicious things out there you can drink that doesn’t contains alcohol. Warm apple cider, pumpkin spiced lattes, hot chocolate, Swedish glögg (gluwhine, we have it with or without alcohol, the non alcoholic version is the most delicious one) chai or some other tea to stay warm. Maybe you can make it a mission to try some and create a new traditional drink for you to enjoy during fall.
I hope you feel better and have the thoughts elsewhere after some nice sleep. Sweet dreams.
I’m truly mighty happy you’re doing and feeling great. God indeed is good, joyous traveling mercies. Be safe, stay sober.
Blessings and sobriety!
Awe. Thank you for the support. One last note before bed. I feel like a school kid
I hope your feeling better. I do have plenty of things to drink. Even made my serenity green tea this afternoon to sit out on the deck. I like lots of different green teas. The turmeric green is a fave also. It’s good on the inflammation around the old bones. Pretty chilly today. Going to be 30f tonight. 0c. I don’t fancy to many of the sweet drinks. Looking forward to making bread though. That could be a good substitute. And I got a real hankering for some pumpkin bread. It’s more about romanticizing about a nice bottle of red Cabernet and how it would go great with the cooler weather and the sausage bolognaise spaghetti I made. But it’s not like I have an “urge” right now. Or actually earlier today. I was just thinking about it all day. Thanks for the kind words. Again hope your feeling better and you have a successful abstaining day.
Congratulations Donna, 100 days of sobriety is an incredible feat for alcoholics like us. Proud of you my friend. Keep up the good work.
Dang Donna 100 days already. Time flys by so fast. Keep staying strong and congratulations.
Just checking in woke at exactly 5:00 am with no alarm usually pisses me off as sleeping isn’t great but back to sleep I went.
Up and down with the sleeping but was expecting that.
Seem to wake up thinking about aa meetings. Not in the way you might think…not as in ‘I need a meeting’.
Was actually thinking about the people and what they have said, can only be a good thing.
Have a lovely day/evening/night everyone
356 Days. Just one of those days feeling underappreciated but I’m going to bed sober and that’s all that matters.
It makes me happy to see all the milestones recently on this thread. Congrats to all of you!!
- Coffee. My weekend. I’m going to the beach. Haven’t walked there for too long and the weather looks great for it. Sober and clean. Have a good day all. Love from my place where Luna will hold the fort.
Lots of great milestones today, congrats all! @anon79808082’s jumps out for me. Triple digits girl! Enormous congrats! Big hugs!
55.06 Days
Day 40…
Start Day rehab…
On day 90. Still feels like a long road ahead but is my highest score so far. A few cravings the last few days but nothing uncontrollable. Stick to the program. Meditate. Avoid triggers. Breathe deeply lol
Checking in on day 3 Sober.
That is so beautiful! You’re great at photography! Keep it up! Congratulations on almost 105! It’s an inspiring beautiful thing!!
Today is day 13! I’m excited and so hopeful to continue this journey. My coffee was strong and amazing and the beautiful, dark, early morning sky is filled with stars. It’s getting a little cooler here, not much, but it’s refreshing knowing that fall reminds us that shedding the old will only bring the beautiful back to life! Good morning all. I hope a fantastic sober Thursday! Much love to all!
Still here, still sober. I realized this is the longest I’ve been alcohol free since being grown up, and I’m 48. I didn’t drink during my pregnancies but I got right back to it after. I didn’t seriously consider sobriety back then. I didn’t think of my drinking as a problem, because denial, and because I knew/ know so many people who drank more. But alcohol is not a positive thing in my life and I’m glad for it to be gone. Now I’m over the 9 month hump and I don’t want to go back. Today, no alcohol. Day 288.
Congrats Donna. Tripple digits. You’re cruising
Keep going it only gets better!
