I’m on Day 16. Feeling great. Had a wonderful holiday weekend with my sons, their SOs, and my SO. Cooked, visited, and remembered it all. Back to work tomorrow after a week off. So happy to be clear minded and sober. Reading more than posting. Still very new here. Learning more keeping my pie hole shut for once.

165 days. Having a very slow going day and enjoying it. It’s a school night and I’m already contemplating what movie I want to watch with my man after 9pm.
As I’m reading through the thread today I realized how important TS is to me & my journey.

Day 756. Checking out. Feeling like a roller coaster. Anywhere between panicking and whoozaa, between how the f** did this happen and okay, I will grow, it won’t kill me. And I learned in the last days à lot about me and how I see booze now in my life and how me talking about that is disturbing ppl here and elsewhere. So, I need to be more careful what to share, where.
Made more than 25.000 steps, sang aloud in nature as no-one was out around noon.
Bonne nuit à tous.

I’ve spent today resting, haven’t done anything, and I have felt good about it. Tomorrow I will see my recovery co-ordinator and afterwards I really do need to prepare for the interview I’ve got on Tuesday.

I’m sorry that happened to you! But you know you are better off without someone who isn’t honest. And who drinks. And encourages you to drink. I hope you can surround yourself with more supportive people! You deserve better.
Hey thanks man… I appreciate that, wanted to go through and personally thank everyone. I was pretty drained after these steps, I said it was easy to get it out. But as I sat here I realized it was alot. But thank you for this message it means alot man.

So even though this is my second sober Sunday, it really feels like my first since I was on vacation and out of town last weekend. That being said, I normally spend all Sunday afternoon and evening getting very loaded. So here I am FEELING IT. There’s no alcohol nearby, which is a very good thing. But damn, first sober Sunday is tricky. I imagine there will be more first sober __________ experiences.
Allowing myself to go through the emotions and remember that this sober life is the one I really want. No Monday hangovers. No foggy Monday morning meetings. Peaceful, restful night. It’s all better than sitting here useless and drunk.

Day 83: Just taking it easy today and looking forward to getting back to building and keeping routines this week. Fighting with myself regarding addictive tendencies around food and drink and dealing with some intrusive thoughts, so I’ll be trying to channel these energies into productive activities, with “productive” having a pretty broad definition. I might bust out a new notebook for journaling, one of those fancy ones that was gifted to me eons ago, and get more serious about a daily journaling habit. I have been mostly absent from this forum during the holiday, so I would like to get back on here more regularly. Overall, I’m feeling hopeful on this Sunday afternoon and grateful for the successful, sober holiday. Plenty of quality time with my hubby, who dialed his drinking way back all through the long weekend, which made things way more comfortable for me. Wishing you all a healthy and successfully sober week ahead.

Day 64. It’s been raining all day, and Max has been less than pleased about the short, wet walks today. I’m glad I got to have a quiet holiday, and sort of dreading heading back to work tomorrow. But I’m going to get a good night’s sleep, and be glad that I made it through another sober day.
@anon60334405 congratulations on 300 days!

I mean, do it mentally if you prefer.
But it is your journey, and each step is important.

@anon60334405 Congratulations on 300!
You are zooming through the steps! I only meet online for an hour once a week, so it is taking me a while. But I think I prefer doing it little by little to make sure it “sticks” (for me, but of course, you do you)

I am doing it little by little. I sat on the first three steps for months lol. The 4, 5th and 6 th step are meant to be done on that same day. I wouldn’t say I’m zooming, sure doesn’t feel it lol. Also you don’t just do the steps once and be done with them, you work them every day so that they stick
