Wooot! Day 27. (Hi, @Mychelle! Youā€™re doing so great! Weā€™re almost at a month!) So, after years of bad sleep due to my 1/2 bottle oā€™chardonnay per night habit, the Divine God of Rock & Roll graced me with the most awesome dream where I was personally invited by Patty Scalfia (aka Mrs. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN) to attend an intimate backyard picnic with The Boss and his family. For what felt like an entire evening, there I was chatting with Bruce who picked up a guitar and broke into an impromptu rendition of YOU NEVER CAN TELL. People, if THIS is sobriety, I am never ever taking that first drink. Have a great Thursday.

Day 11, I have completed day 10 successfully, itā€™s officially double digits! Feeling quite ok, reading this forum a lot. I used to think, that drinking is cool, but thanks to you all now I see, that being sober is way cooler.

Back atcha. You look healthy and strong and confident. If I met you on the street, Iā€™d have no idea you were battling - and winning - an internal war.

Whatever it takes Emma. Get all the support you can. I used to spend about ā‚¬10 a day on smoking. Enough said right.

Day 87.
Early morning check-in for me. Sleep she donā€™t come so easy last night!
Iā€™m changing things up to go visit Mom in the next few weeks, (before Canadian Thanksgiving) as they will likely restrict visitors soon with covid on the rise again. Maybe I wonā€™t see her again until 2021 after this? Was wrapping my head around that, and making travel plans while watching news online, and a pop-up ad came on for covid christmas ornaments - santa wearing mask. Crikey! :woman_facepalming:
One day at a time. No matter what life throws my way, itā€™s way more do-able sober.
Beauty days to all of you :orange_heart:

Same thing will probably happen here. Could very well be some new lonesome months ahead. Never a reason to drink though. Hugs.

Thanks friend. Restrictions do seem to be a distinct possibility again, but youā€™re right ā€“ no reason to drink.

I confess I have started a mental ā€œsurvival kitā€ list to get through a potentially locked-down winter. Never mind toilet paperā€¦ I gotta stock up on books, pounds of my fave dark roast beans, bath bombs, ski waxā€¦

Weā€™ll get through!

Day 9 sober. Being tired all the time is not helping but what can I do? I am grateful to be sober another day more

Good for you for staying strong. I wouldnā€™t stress about the short-term shopping and eating - youā€™re sober and thatā€™s what matters.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers :orange_heart:
