This has totally happened to me!!! Like I wake up feeling guilty for something I probably did and then Iām like no. You werenāt drinking. And I have to convince myself that I did not drink a drop. It happened even when I had made it 10 months in too. Just a reminder we do not want to have to have a reason to actually feel that way I guess

Checking in sober and erectile disfunction free
Anyway, had a lunch meeting with the owner of a large commercial architectural firm and the owner of a commercial interior design firm here in bustling uptown Charlotte. We went to a very new bougie hotel just a block away from my office. It was lovely. Reason I mention it is that they enjoyed a few cocktails over lunch. That was my old life, cocktails over lunch and then being useless the rest of the day. I actually had a blast with them and the relationship is fantastic for my business. Iām enjoying life again and enjoying my sobriety. I donāt feel left out being the sober guy. I just feel proud of it.

Youāre right. There are a lot of issues to address when we first sober up. Youāre not going to have everything fixed at once, so donāt put the pressure on yourself to feel like you need to. Especially when it comes to personal relationships.
My advice is to focus on your personal development first. Do you have a plan as to how to do that? My experience is that when Iām taking care myself, when Iām developing healthier ways to approach life, and when Iām working on my issues, the benefits bleed into other areas of my life and especially my relationships as a byproduct. They are not separate issues. They are connected.
Keep moving forward.

Fleur, I am due to hit 6 months on 11/13.
Thanks for remembering!
As for your reset: I reset so many times I cannot count. Keep trying and it will happen.
The light switched for me after so many tries.
I finally found inner peace (aka - unconditional self acceptance).
Good Luck!!!

Nice work Beth!!!
You and I are very close on days (your 140 to my 151).
I am so glad you have found unconditional self-acceptance (inner peace).
It feels so good to approach life sober.
Now that you have your first counter in good shape, you can work on the second counter.
Great job!!!

D 14.
Decided to try something Iāve never done before: cleaning my bicycle chain. YouTube told me what to get and how to do it, so I was all over it.
F**k.
(And I can hear the guys and some gals go in unison: but itās so easy! Yeah, sure!)
If I had a nice garage, sewer and a hot water hose, no problem! Instead, I was doing it outside in the cold, with water buckets and not having enough rags.
I didnāt finish but I give myself a pat on the back for the effort 
Whoop whoop! Old me would have kicked myself to the curb for being an incompetent idiot and loser for failing in something thatās so easy.
Next time, Iāll just save up and take my bike to a shop and let pros have a go
