Hoping everyone is staying strong and moving forward in life. We’re all worth it no matter of our past. God is in charge not me so I’m trying to be useful to Him and not just myself. Everyone have a blessed sober night.

Checking in on day 2. Took a lot of courage for me to start here again! Now stepping up to another level. I have my TS family support. Now getting back on here again. Daily check in. Daily accountability. Now AA online and if possible in person. 30 day experiment again. I will do this fight. For me. For my family. And I know I will not be able to give up because I am worth a sober life. Thank you all for yours support so far. I appreciate it a lot. Will be here more often again

So I’ve started a sobriety scrap/sketch book.
First page was an exercice that consisted of writing : 1) advantages of drinking; 2) disadvantage of drinking; 3) advantages of change ; 4) disadvantages of change (sobriety). Sorry it’s all French…
It was a very good exercice. I did it in 2 times. Cried a bit both. Shared this with my girlfriend and discussed some points of it. I am grateful to have done it and share it. For now it will be posted on my library so I can see it when I walk by and when I sit on the couch.
Goal is to expose myself to stuff like this to remind me WHY I am sober. I feel strong today on my 15th day, but just yesterday I asked myself if it was a sort of pink cloud, that hard time will hit me and that I need to be prepared. Yes I am motivated this time, and haven’t been since the pandemic, but motivation in itself isn’t enough. Work, focus and conscious effort are needed for change.
Hope you all have a good day,
Black and white of alcohol and change: (lol, had to edit 4 times the pictures to get it right

Think I’m the opposite, I watch documentaries on alcoholism to remind me that that’s not where I want to be.
Different for us all
30 days again you guys.
I’m here, I’m alive, and I’m sober. And I’m crazy busy.
Family drama, teenage drama, close friends drama. Hopefully I’ve got the chance to update y’all some more in a few days. Meanwhile I’ll just try to sort the worst out and find time to shower.
But first a nature walk before picking up the boys. It’s nice and sunny outside, probably the last sunny day for a long time.

Wow, that is insulting. As if you wouldn’t be able to tell. Good luck. You deserve better than what he’s giving you. You’ve worked so hard to make your life better. I’m going to cross my fingers for you that whatever is best for you is what happens. You’ve worked so hard and happiness is there for people who reach out for it.

You’ll be fine now your back with us 
I did an AA zoom meeting yesterday and it actually had me in tears. I’ve never met people like addicts or alcoholics who are so determined that even the death of their own children won’t make them drink, it put my stupid daily moans into context. I still think we are all special though prepared to go through the pain in the knowledge of the reward.

Day 239. Things are good I suppose. Tryin to remain grateful, realizing everything and everyone I love could be gone in the blink of an eye. Also realizing I’ve switched my addiction over to lottery tickets and I’m spending way to much money on them. Time to get that in check, umg yeah idk what else hope you all have a good Tuesday

73.25 days.
My sleep schedule has been terrible recently, which given the fact that I’m a highly educated unemployed homemaker at the moment, hasn’t been a huge problem except that I would be happier waking up at 7am and going to bed at 10pm, not going to bed at 3-4am and waking up at 9:30am.
I’ve decided to try and turn that around. I’m staying up until 6am-ish today, and will go to bed, then get up at 2pm (it is 5am for me now). Tonight I will stay up all night, and then on Wednesday I will be tired enough that I will go to bed very early and ideally sleep long and wake up around 6-7am on Thursday.
I’ve been wanting to do that for a while, but I’m taking a class for my conceal permit on Saturday, so I need to be up early and I really should be at my best for that

Day 16. I was at my psychologist for therapy, it isn’t about drinking but my other problems. I told her, that I stopped drinking, it was good to share and be proud of myself. The session was exhausting as always, but also useful. Now I should work, but I’m so tired, that maybe I will postpone it a bit.

Clean and Serene on Day 32!
The good Lord woke me up, so there is still purpose. It’s going to be a great day. If we don’t wake up and find at least something to be grateful for, we will look back in 5 or 10 or 20 years and realize we wasted those also, clean or not. Find the beauty, and those years will be beautiful as well. On an exciting note I got a sponsor yesterday!!! 
I’m truly excited. I hope that you all have a wonderfully beautiful Clean and Sober Tuesday.

My shrink told me a story today.
Two brother were playing on the frozen lake and the ice broke in under one of them. The other one looked for a stone and broke the thick ice around, so he could pull out his brother from the water and saved him. When the case was investigated, no one knew, how could this little boy break that really thick ice. Then an old man from the village spoke and said: “I know how he could break that thick ice. There was no one to tell him, he can’t do it”.
