Do a daily inventory, have plans and mini goals to achieve, act act act, solution solution solution. You don’t have to go running around going crazy bc the only thing you need to keep busy is your mind not your body. Any what you would call boring time turn into meditation and self care time. Your doing great BTW

I can’t be bothered to tag everyone who I’ve just read but there are some great numbers out there today, some relentless day ones, some tricky day threes and some powerful day forties are standing out to me, every sober day is a win though for all of us. Its must be “We are awesome Wednesday”, well it is now anyway

Don’t beat yourself up. You’re trying again. You will get through this difficult time, and you will get through this difficult year. Be kind to yourself and keep moving forward.
Day 549. Still sober, feeling good enough. Best to everyone.

Day 11. Storm anxiety is bad, but I get to go home this afternoon and pick up my dog and sleep in my own bed. This is what I’m looking forward to all day as I keep working.

Day 100.
No late check-in yesterday - too full a day. Worked and met with some dear old pals and their teen for a walk and dinner. Had to submit a writing assignment after they left, and by the time I logged on here on my phone - all I had energy for was to hit a few likes before snoring. 
Earlier in the day, I drove past a new microbrewery in town - big signs advertising small-batch cider, and chuckled as I thought “what a way to celebrate Day 99!” Not relapse worthy - nothing is.
The numbers thing is weird. I like keeping track, if only to keep myself on track and not get ambivalent, but to me they are somewhat abstract. I’ll read that someone is at 29 days and I’ll be so excited for them! And then when @SoberGuyUSA writes “Day 801” I think “poor him, what a climb ahead of him” 
So I plan on hanging out in the triple digits for, oh, 900 days or so 
but what matters most is today. I know that I want today to be another sober day in a life well-lived.
Wishing you all a beautiful day too

This week is probably going to be hard for all of us. I know this month is going to be freakin hard as hell for me. But here’s the thing. We’re not drinking today!! Today is really all we got.

Well done on triple digits! I absolutely agree with you on how abstract the count can be, particularly because the number doesn’t really reflect where someone is with their sobriety or well-being overall. I feel somewhat ambivalent, some days it’s encouraging and other days I feel no way about it. However, it’s a heck of a lot of fun celebrating other people’s milestones, so congratulations on a BIG one! I so appreciate you and the thoughtfulness you bring to the forum. I’ve been thinking about you and your trip to see your mom and sending my positive thoughts your way
