Day 380.
Checking in. Not feeling emotionally great. Really don’t want to be at work. Trying to focus on things to be grateful for today. Usually if I can be grateful I don’t drink. Looking forward to going to bed tonight - and it’s only 11am. It’s going to be a long day. But stay strong TS no matter what you’re facing today.

2 whole weeks free from the hell of active addiction :raised_hands:t2: Today was the first day since day 8 that I had any urges, but I posted on here and did what I needed to do to stay sober, I walked, fed myself, watched half a movie, might watch the other half over the weekend, and stroked my cats, and I have so much gratitude for that it’s nearly time for me to get into bed. Friday nights were where my most recent addiction all began, because I used to only do it with a friend and only on Fridays, but we all know how that story pans out, so I think that’s why there’s something about them thats triggering for me. However, getting in bed early, and sober, it an unbeatable feeling right now. Here’s to another sober weekend! :pray:t2::muscle:t2::slightly_smiling_face:

Checking in on day 12. I have emotional ups and downs, but it’s not that extreme as before, it’s much more balanced. Weekend with a bit of work and with family is ahead of me, I hope I will have enough patience…

I’ve fallen off the wagon a few times and at other times I’ve been hanging off the back of the wagon with my arse dragging along the ground but when I’ve found the strength, like you, to pull myself back on it I’ve got a renewed sense of determination. I hope you do too. All the best, mate, :pray:

Ahhhh, :relieved: that feeling of opening Talking Sober at the end of the day of work instead of a bottle of beer :relieved:

So grateful to had went swimming with my girl and now working on some side-projects that I’ve been neglecting while drinking, instead of planning a bender.
Drinking a nice and hot decaf with a good vibe.
Which everyone an happy Friday evening!

Almost bedtime here as I’m working early shifts this weekend. Not craving wine or any other drug. Just hoping for a good night’s sleep . Clean and sober. Thanks for being here. Have a good weekend friend and friends!

Hi all, just a quick note to say goodnight. I have to get up kind of early and get moving, as I have to take a bus and then a train to get to the airport for my first flight to Athens, then another short flight to a little island and then (on Sunday) a short ferry ride to the island where I’m actually going !!
It’s going to be a bit of a hike to get there, but I’m hoping that it will be worth it, especially for the diving. At this time tomorrow night, I’ll be at 45 days… halfway to 90.
Goodnight all, I hope that everyone is having a happy and sober Friday night.
