Checking in on day 18. Not feeling like hitting the meeting tonight but I will… Tomorrow my sponsor and me are going through step 1-3. I am excited :blush:. Massive load of work today. So I am glad when it is afternoon and I’m done and picking up the kids…

I love my life today. I love being a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous. I love having a sponsor and being in a home group. I’ve had times when I thought I might not need it but knew that that was a lie. I need A.A, without it this problem I have is to much for me. I found something here and my hope is that you do too. Everyone have a blessed sober night.

Day 91
A lot of shifting situations at work, and little things to do and organise at home. My kids had their sports day today, they both looked a little nervous/shy and it was short and sweet version because of Corona. No booze cravings, but food binging is shit, which has been the norm of late. My uni has online lessons for the next week because some students have Corona. I didn’t do so well last time I was home all the time remote teaching but hopefully this time won’t be so long, and even if it does become long, I have better tools this time.

Everyone of these days in sobriety has been a gift, a challenge and ultimately been the best part of my life.

I want to do this, I want to hold on to this goodness, I want to do this sober. So today I ask for the strength to hold my own hand and whatever the outcome I do this the sober way.

I don’t fear the unknown. I fear what I do know is all that’s left

  1. Expanding my bookcase, cleaning it and my books, and refilling the shelves turns out to be quite a job. All I can do is keep going. One book at a time. Reading a bit as I go along. Throwing out some books too. I know the result will be good. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love for my dusty living room.

    @CapriciousCapricorn. 100% Yes to what you write. It’s only logical you crave the mania sometimes. At least you feel alive when you are manic. Just not in a healthy way. I think all we can do, is fight for and work on ourselves. Sober and clean because if we’re not we’re not going anywhere. Hugs.
    @anon28001181 @Dolse71 @Ravikamor @everybody I’m forgetting. All beautiful milestones! Congrats!

Well you back on the wagon straight after the fall which is good, you have been doing great. Did you hit the meth and the alcohol, or just one? Are they linked for you? (if you don’t mind me asking). Were you off the wagon for long? I didn’t notice you had left so I guess it was a short slip? Hope you feeling better soon.

Day 23, working through some stuff with my therapist. Did really want a drink after. Booze ain’t my DOC but still not sure if it’s a direct link for me so staying as much clear from it as possible. I did a late night work out instead lol.

I meditate regularly these days but have decided to add it to my accountability diary so I can keep an eye on if I miss more than a day or 2 a week, to keep myself in check, hopefully this will help in the future. The accountability diary has been a great way for me to visualize my recovery and keep me on track.

When we stop are Drug of choice the addictive part can lead to cross addiction. Keep doing the things that work, you’ve got this.

yeah i noticed on my last sober streak (i also quite booze that time too), where I was stressed/anxious/bored and i’d normally feel like doing stimulants, I instead wanted to reach for booze. Not my normal coping mechanism, but was interesting to watch my brain think in this way, definitely feel like it could be a gateway drug for me now :confused:
