Great read, thank you! This quote hits home:
“Difficult, painful transitions can yield great understanding of our lives’ purpose. Research on how people derive a sense of purpose has found that while periods of pain and struggle make us temporarily unhappy, they also make us feel as if our lives have more meaning.”
Purpose and meaning are what I am working hard to find, and getting sober is definitely part of that journey.
Day 11. Checking in late because it’s been a busy morning at work and I am not feeling great this morning. I’ve been having trouble sleeping, pretty sure it is the hubs snoring. I ordered some earplugs. My stomach is still all crazy upset and bloated. I’m not sure what to do about it anymore. At least the weekend is here in 3 hours. Who’s counting?!
End of day 5. Evening sucks, try to distract myself.
Luckily mine started today…but I have had issues sleeping lately too, not sure the issue but it certainly has taken a toll this week. Hope it gets better for ya!
Checking in on day 167
Yesterday I had my first sober birthday, it was great! I ate whatever I wanted and chilled out all day. My new mattress was delivered and I went to bed around 10 pm and had a lovely nights sleep😊
This morning I woke up feeling fantastic and will be doing my daily hour of cardio/running in a little while. I just realised that this is also the first time I’ve woken up the day after my birthday and not felt like shit from partying.
Im 49! And I like to KICK, STREEEETCH, AND KICK! I’M 49!
This!! 
Is it too soon? Is the suffering too great? I still feel sick when I think of it.
I’m so sorry @Dragonflygirl82 
Thank you! And I hope yours does too!
It’s a hundred(days) 100 of sobriety for me. Now I am ready for another hundred. Before that I have to cross over the 101 day mark. So I am on these pages tonremind me to focus on my objectives to be Sober, glorious and free
My life is so strange lately. Things are getting better. Since I started semen retention things changed A LOT. I am only on day 7 but my strenght is on point, my mental is more clear, my confidence is rising. For all the dudes out here I really recommend trying it. I feel blesssed. I truly believe this is the way to live.
But with great power comes great responsability. When God notices you so does the Devil. God bless you all. Stay true.
Checking in day 50. This is a really good landmark for me. Congratulations to everyone checking in. 
I started getting up at 5:30am so I can get my exercise in. I used to get up around 7am. That also means I go to bed around 9:30 every night and so far my family is cooperating with me on it. It’s made a MASSIVE difference in my mood and attitude and pretty much smashes any thoughts of drinking. If you can find any time for yourself I encourage you to DO IT!
YESSSS!
Thank you! 
There are few moments in life that are harder. Few humans give unrequited love like our furry sidekicks. Thinking of you.
Hi all, time to pack it in for the day. This is going to be a rough weekend… I actually don’t have ANY work to do ! Crazy… fortunately, I have my online course and i can study more Japanese, but still, it’s weird having a couple of days off, it doesn’t happen often !!
Bloody virus…
Anyway, hi everyone, I hope that you are all well. Things are quiet over here, and this has been a nice and easy (and sober) day.
My next “goal” is 45 days… that will be at some point next week once I’ll be in Greece. I’m looking forward to some scuba diving, that’s for sure.
In any event, it’s getting late so I’m off to bed. I hope that you all have a safe and sober Friday night.
Thank you 
Sorry for the loss of your pup it’s so hard 
Thanks Eric Just lovin him up as much as I can
What a wasted day of work. I spent hours working in excel, adding formulas to a spreadsheet with 10 tabs just to lose it all. I could kick myself for not saving along the way. The program locked up and I tried everything to no avail. Thank god it’s Friday because I need a break before starting all over.
On a good note, here’s to celebrating one full year!! Woo hoo!!
Wooohooo! Congrats
