27 days behind me. Been to the gym. Ate a healthy breakfast. And I will still be sober when I lay my head down tonight. I will win over alcohol today, because alcohol sucks. F*** alcohol forever.

Day 189 clean and sober today. Feeling really stupid for all the emotional crap I’ve posted on here. It’s actually quite embarrassing to me. The only thing holding me back from deleting everything is that I’ll have a point of reference to look back upon of what an idiot I’ve been. Hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys!

This is an insightful and profound revelation. You’re going great places Mike. You’re meant for something great and everything you’re doing to work on your self is leading you towards that destiny/ destination. Observing silently from afar, your growth is admirable. Well done!

Day 35! My SO and I joined the gym. Our Christmas gift to each other. We are heading there in a few. Good start to my day. And, the sun finally came out after 5 days. I hope everyone is doing great!

You’re fine writing in here. I can’t imagine having school aged kids at home 24/7! And your hubby!
I really hope you stick around and give it all you got, Kim. You know what the future holds with doing what you’re doing rn but it’s open to great things without alcohol steering the ship. You know more than me if you’ve gone 10 months.
Shake off the shame and get back to it, girl.

Welcome. Your presence here is appreciated as much as your presence on my personal check in thread. So good to hear your decision and so happy you’re here. This place and these people are a valued component of my sobriety journey. All I can say is read, read and then read some more. I look forward to getting to know you better and thanks again for caring enough to comment on my struggles.

I get how you’re feeling but STOP. You needed to get out what you were thinking whether it was right or wrong. Through unpacking it on here you were able to hear others thoughts and genuine care and concern. I don’t know what I would do without this place the last three days and your posts are included in that. Seeing you be able to unpack like you did enforced the feelings for me that this is a safe place to do so. Please don’t feel embarrassed for being vulnerable and letting us in. See it as a strength that has got you through and is getting you through life on life’s terms.
