Checking in, day 29. Iām on here multiple times a day reading and know itās a huge part of why Iām staying sober. I donāt really post that much unless itās to welcome new members or congratulate milestones. I canāt help but feel like Iām not giving back to the group as much as Iām getting from it. I donāt feel like I have much to offer considering 99% of what Iām doing I got from what people have already said here. I donāt know, I guess this is a good share. I just want to make sure Iām giving back some and not just taking. I hope everyone has had a good sober weekend and has a good Monday.

Congrats on 29 days. When your ready to give back, give back. Maybe right now you just got one job. Not drinking. I wouldnāt worry about. Oh and checking in with increasing days is showing people it can be done. Youāre doing great.

āI donāt feel like I have much to offer considering 99% of what Iām doing I got from what people have already said here.ā
Oh and this is a really nice compliment to the whole group that makes at least me feel like We are doing good and something right. We all have no idea what one little thing someone might say that really helps. Just that one welcome. Or congratulations. That can make someoneās day. And keep them on track.

Checking in. Canāt believe I had a sober Christmas weekend but Iām very proud of myself. Iām starting to get really bored and restless though. My city is still on strict COVID lockdown so thereās really nothing to do except entertain yourself at home. Today I thought about drinking quite a bit but managed to abstain. Might re-read Allen Carrās Easy Way To Quit Drinking again as it has helped me with sobriety in the past.

Fell off track. How do people stay on track? I have been In this situation a 100 times. I donāt ever want to forget this feeling. But somehow I always fall back to the poison. Iām currently working day 1. My mind is melted and depressed. I want this to be the last time.

There are people here who maintain their sobriety through different approaches. Check out this link. It contains info about different resources that others have used to stay sober. See if anything looks like something youād want to try and give it a try. Personally, I use a mix of therapy and the Recovery Dharma program. If you keep falling off the wagon Iād suggest getting some outside assistance in some capacity.

Checking in. I have Christmas funds - I am breaking things down for sobriety. I got more fabrics for my business and thatās it. Thatās all. Then thereās only basic needs. I donāt need anything else.

Day 126 here.
You know, even small things said can mean a lot 
I was flat out checking in early days and really need to start doing more. Our own heads can be our own worst enemy. I get pretty bad anxiety so sometimes reading is enough just for that moment.
Wish I knew what I was anxious about 
seems I think about being anxious and down more than actually being anxious, not sure that makes sense even typing it lol.
Noticed Iāve probably a bit of a confidence issue. Iāve worked in the same place for nearly 13 years, know loads and yet sometimes I canāt pick up the phone to sort something out thatās an easy problem to sort.
Doesnāt help that Iām a team leader and relied upon
Working for the next few days but it will be quiet this time of year in the ERP worldā¦ hopefullyā¦
@Drave read loads and when you feel like it post, even post in other threads that are just for fun
Have a good whatever day it is everyone

Would it help to write down how you are feeling so that you could return to it.
I think how I was feeling is permanently stamped in my mind, didnāt stop me taking the first drink again before but if I even think about it now I keep that feeling and remember where I end up.

- Had a very bleak dream in 2 or 3 parts early this morning, waking up in between and continuing after that. Left me feeling totally lost and alone. I know itās just a dream but man it can influence my mood big time. Needed a couple of hours to get my stuff together and move on from it. I think I have now. Doing next to nothing in the last days probable has something to do with it too. Time to get moving again. Work first. Working on my mental health after. Sober and clean. Have as good a week as possible all. Love from Amsterdam and Sisterdale TX. Will be back there in 2021.

Day 329. On my tenth day of my medicine, mind isnāt wanting to do a.a anymore. Sick of the guys thinking or expecting me to relapse just because I missed three meetings. I canāt stand that and it pushes me away. I got a nice jog in yesterday, going to try and do the same after my meeting with my doctor today. Iām not sure how Iām feeling, still kind of down. Try to be grateful, I have so much to be grateful for, my mind loves to self sabatoge no matter how much I redirect it. have a good day
