Kind of an ā€œehhhā€ day. Been having trouble sleeping lately and last night I fell asleep early and slept wonderful. So good I overslept and woke up 5 minutes before I’m supposed to leave. Really started my day off wrong. In the past I always slammed an energy drink as soon as I got to work bc I was hung over. Today I did bc i was just dragging. It seemed like it just threw me into feeling like I did weeks ago. Just messed with me all day, but I made it to day 24. Looking forward to 1 more day of work this week and a sober Christmas. For the 1st time in years I’m actually all done shopping and wrapping before Christmas eve…wouldn’t of happened if I was still drinking. I hope everyone is doing well and has a safe and sober holiday. This group really is the best! Thank you all for sharing and supporting each other.

Day 25 check in! Looking forward to a cozy and sober Christmas with my boyfriend. I bought all sorts of nice treats and things to cook this week even though it’s just the two of us this year.

I’m going to try making this mocktail recipe!

Sober. But I need a sponsor. Been in AA over a year. Worked with one but lost contact. I worry with New Years and life stress I will relapse. Any ideas how to find one online? I live in SE Asia so time zone is 12 hours ahead of US ET.

Day 340 It was a really good day but it gets exhausting helping people with their problems and also trying to keep mine maintained.
God bless you all. :v:&:heart:

I draw a whole lot of strength from doing my gratitude daily, I highly recommend it, even on those days you don’t want to do it(especially then) like mine earlier today… even better than that though the strength I get from reading the consistent gratitude of others for example @Dazercat and @eph-M-eral thanks my friends :grinning:

  1. Finishing my coffee before running of to work. Last day of work before Christmas. Had a very short crazy night with crazy dreams and waking up all the time. Reminds me of how I used to sleep after drinking in the past, a couple of hours of alcohol induced coma followed by hours of restless tossing and turning and dreaming crazy dreams. Thanks for the reminder and glad I’m not hungover, just tired. Grateful I’m sober. One day at a time. Have a good Wednesday all. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam where Luna’s reminding me to feed her some more before I go off.

401 Days: Extremely grateful to be sober. I log on and read almost every day, this site is a huge part of my sobriety, but I rarely post or comment anymore. There are so many great people here offering their advice and assistance that most of the time I read through a thread any advice I would have has already been given and most certainly said more eloquently and compassionately or brutally honest (when needed) then I ever could! So thank you to all the amazing people who make this site what it is, you’ve all helped me and countless others more than you know.

Happy Holidays to everyone! Let’s all get through these festive, fun, stressful and challenging few days together and make it to 2021 sober!!

Sobriety isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely worth it!

Much love!!!
