@Figgie Congrats on number 70 and great job not celebrating with chardonnay (my doc). With sobriety you learn to find a new way to celebrate. Hugs

Man, I can relate to this. When I was drinking I would completely blow off or flat out ignore these types of responsibilities. I’d just stick my head in the sand and then still have to deal with it at some point. Usually once I was forced to and it was way more stressful.
Be proud of yourself, Mike. This is progress. I’m glad you let yourself recognize it.

That’s just law of attraction. It happens to everyone. But using the idea that 11 Is unlucky to not be sober, or how ever you explained it, is just an excuse. You either get sober or not. Stop thinking so much into it and everything. It’s not that complicated.

- Had a great day yesterday, best birthday in years actually. Me and my bestie are back on track, and after one therapeutic session and reading about schemas and modi I feel I already gained so much insight in my own behaviour towards her and people in general. And had a great meal, birthday cake included. Friend got a bit tipsy which was fine. I’m feeling much better sober and clean.
There was one moment, right after dinner, I felt like having a Cuban cigar and a glass of single malt. It was a moment. It passed. On we go. Going for a bike ride now. Have a great weekend all! Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

I must admit I agree with April @apes2020
Just buckle up and work hard.
Overthinking this can cause just as much of a problem as doing nothing in my book!
To me it’s just another form of not letting go! Still trying to be in control, still wanting to run things.
As I said , my opinion.

Good morning everyone! Day 304 for me.
Beautifull day here in locked down Belgium. Gonna take a hike with my brother and his family. Looking forward to that.
Mentally I’m doing better than a few days ago.
I’ve realised that my sobriety is even more important to me than I thought.
Alcohol doesn’t build me up. I do that for me. Alcohol tears me appart. Even one sip.
So I choose to be sober. Every day. Day after day.
As you all know it’s never really ‘easy’ to do but we do it to better ourselfs!
Love you all. Have a good weekend!

Day 623
Up nice and early. Morning meditation done and meal prep for the next few days finished aswell. I’m really starting to feel the weight I’ve put on recently so need to shift it. I’m stripping my diet right down for at least the next couple of weeks, I need to reset and I find this to be the best way for me. Lots of broccolli 
We are now back in lockdown here so I haven’t really seen anyone all week. Not great for me. It was my friends birthday on the 5th so I’m going for a doorstep chat and to drop some presents off later today. I have to be so aware of how I’m feeling right now, and act in positive ways. Although I feel better than I did a few weeks ago it’s still a knife edge, changing day to day, even hour to hour. Regular meditation is helping with that tho. Bringing back to the present.
Right, I’m going out for a walk.
Have a great day folks

Day 20. Yet more weird dreams of an innappropriate nature. At least no drugs were involved I guess. Time for meditation and to get out on my bike, clear my head. Hope you all having a good weekend

Just relax and put your faith in a higher power.
The universe hasn’t put you here for no reason, just let it tell you what you need to do.

Well done. Admitting this bit is a step in the right direction.
It took me two years to go from admitting I had a problem to finding this app and staying sober.
Keep working in the right direction.

I’m at day 98 drug and Booze free longest time I’ve ever gone without some form of drug in my body since I was 14…
So really this big black fucking cloud needs to fuck off!
It’s just another 24 hours to get through… Not gonna lie I feel like pressing the self destructive button.
