- Coffee. Foggy and wet outside. I was planning a little bike trip to get dairy from the farm. Not so sure now, but will keep a sharp eye on the radar looking for a couple of hours of dry weather. Feeling pretty good this morning. Feeling rested despite dreaming so vividly about losing my wallet and bike that I got up to check on my wallet. Resisted going downstairs to check on my bike. Hoping it’s still there.
Just a normal Saturday morning really. Sober and clean. Very grateful to be just that. Never again. One day at a time. Have a good weekend all. Love from Amsterdam.

Checking in, day 37. There are less and less posts here, I hope you all are all right. I miss reading the check ins and posts of all of you, guys!
As for me I’m getting better, although still ill and weak. I have to work during the weekend, I’m working on a documentary atm, not my favorite genre, but that’s all right. Fortunately I don’t have cravings, just the usual “maybe I could handle just one glass of something”, but I’m not gonna fall for that. Bit scared of the two-months downturn, I’m preparing to be challenged.

Bit of a natural flow IMO Tomek. It’s the weekend, Americans and Europeans both sleeping in. Still about 100 posts between my morning check ins yesterday and today. And it gets busier sometimes and quieter too at times. I’ll hang around for a bit anyway. Have a good working weekend friend. Sober and clean.

Checking in on day 18. Rainy and cold today so I’m feeling a little sluggish this morning. Plan to work this morning for a couple hours and then take my daughter to get my husband something for Christmas. I’ve been slacking on my routine the last 3/4 days and I don’t like it. I’m gonna get back to what I was doing because it works. Have a great sober Saturday everyone.

@Jennajen your not gonna cave in either and the reason your not is your here telling us the truth and your struggle thats one step closer on doing what you need to do then actually going for those old coping ways.
So today aim to just clean your bedroom floor one task at a time… Doesn’t matter how long it takes, its better than picking up right?!?
Getting distracting by social media and phones is way too easy, I struggle with tiktok and here… We try and seek quick gratifications from our phones its easy to watch a funny clip that prolongs on for hours set an alarm every hour if needs be, pull yourself out the virtual world with annoying alarms from you mobile x
Day 00 on smoking cigarettes, I don’t have an excuse everything has been going well for me but I still daily struggle. I’d declined sex from a coworker the day before, I declined the booze and drugs all the way through these 3 nights… I suppose I felt like a piece of scum for all the downfalls i have. I wanted to punish myself I’m so good on that one!
133, drugs
85, no sex.
I’m only human.

Day 2 is coming to an end for me. I work night shifts (6 on 8 off) and don’t usually drink during my work weeks so I don’t have cravings yet. But im going to be filling up with recovery material and self care to get me strong for when my work week is over!!
Great motivation from others on this thread

@cwak Congrats on 21 days!! In my opinion, 3 weeks is just as impressive as 3 months or one hundred days. I always say in my posts that the first few days and weeks were the hardest for me. After that I adjusted and sober became my new normal.
So keep up the hard work! You’re doing an amazing job and the hardest part is starting out.
As for me, I’m ready for another sober weekend with you guys. I had a rough night sleeping last night; woke up 4 or 5 times (once because one of the pups was asking for water). In addition to that I had a very vivid drinking dream. I haven’t had one in a month or so and I think it was probably because I couldn’t fall asleep last night so I took a melatonin which always makes me have weird dreams.
It’s funny because I kind of appreciate the dream. In the dream itself I felt disgusted with myself for drinking. I haven’t had any cravings or been tempted at all to drink in reality, so this just reinforced that resolve. Life has been far too good sober for me to ruin that.
@Tomek I was thinking the same thing about the few new posts on this thread, but I think @Mno is right about it being the weekend. I was missing for a few days earlier this week too when I was super busy.
Anyways, I hope everyone has a great weekend. Stay sober and healthy my friends

I’m sorry it’s hard right now @siand. Keep putting one foot ahead. It will eventually get easier.
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by this thread and ts in general because there are a lot of posts and people. But that’s also the beauty of it: somebody is always here.

stay here for your own recovery, people can stop reading your posts if they don’t like it and if they want to express an opinion just like you are entitled then they can flag your post. We are all vulnerable people in one way or another but ultimately if this community helps you stay.

Not a great day. Relapsed on my doc today. Have to do some changes to guard my sobriety journey.
I do feel that I’ve let people down. Going through a lot of different emotions now.

Well done on three weeks! Those folks with hundreds of days only got there because they hit this milestone first. Keep it up.

I agree with Paul. Stay unless staying doesn’t help you with your recovery. I appreciate you a lot Franzi.
