Day 103 and continue to practice daily self care. I am now working step 1 with my sponsor. I am so glad I didnāt rush into this practice. I feel hopeful that Iām laying a good, strong foundation to rely upon when life is not so easy.

Day 16. Working. Not feeling super great physically today- stomach and whatnot. Iāve been trying to refinance my house since July and thatās finally getting squared away though which is great news. Slept okay last night. Wishing everyone a gloriously sober Wednesday!

Day 30. Donāt think I actually counted the days the last time I got sober and that was for nearly a year before I decided I could do it on my own and eh that didnāt work 
Work done for the day so the usual relax and watch tv and eat. Still have to do half an hourās work later but donāt mind. Going to try and stop that though but itās hard as sometimes you need all users logged out of their system and thatās usually only evening/night time.
Still have the odd thought of drinking but I concentrate on something else when that happens, sounds easy doesnāt it
Anywho keep checking in

Staying Sober. 
Itās so frustrating. My HOA is involved in a lawsuit and itās been a nightmare trying to find someone who will do it based on that! Iām glad you have an end in sight!

Day 16: Taking it slow today. Skipped my workout, tooā¦itās okay to take a break, and itās a lesson for me. As with drinking and all other things, it has often been an all or nothing mentality for me. Iām okay with the ānothingā as it relates to drinking, but life in general doesnāt always work that way. I will cheers with my sparkling water to finding balance when my instincts want to go all or none.

I just stopped taking Rexulti (as of 3 days ago). It really helped me mentally but the side effects I personally experienced it were not worth it to me. It made me gain weight (about 20lbs), I was CONSTANTLY feeling hungry while taking it and it made me have diarrhea on a regular basis. The last straw for me was when I spent the last 5 weeks exercising daily and monitoring my food intake and failed to lose a single pound. One of the side effects is that it makes you hold on to the weight you gain no matter what you do. Medically I need to lose about 30 lbs. I was taking Rexulti while drinking and didnāt want to switch up my meds early in sobriety so I continued taking it over the last year. I quit drinking, ate EVERYTHING in sight the first 3 months and chalked up my weight gain to my poor diet and lack of exercise. But now Iām convinced it was the medicine that made me gain weight and keep it on. And the almost daily diarrhea was really annoying. It DID help my mood when I began taking it and without it I would most likely not have stayed sober. But now that Iām comfortable in my sobriety I am comfortable getting off of it and just taking my regular anti-depressant. There are a LOT of anti-depressants out there without these side effects. Have you ever tried anything else? Feel free to PM me. I donāt want to derail the daily check in.

How is it that I feel every time you post your day count it seems to go faster than mineā¦ 
Maybe itās the early-days symptoms

Iām glad itās going by fast for someone!
I feel the same way when I see other peopleās counters who have more consecutive days than me. Especially @Mno. 473?! It seems like I just saw your one year mark.
I was actually contemplating not posting the counter for a bit. Iāll still be on here daily, but just āwatch the potā a little less.
Double digits coming up for you.
