Checking in daily to maintain focus #24

45 days complete… half way to the big 90. Longest I’ve been sober in probably 18 years. Things have been going great so far. I’ve been setting small goals each day and actually accomplishing them instead of saying fuck it and drinking instead. I’ve even been planning long term goals and taking the proper steps to get to them. Starting to sleep somewhat better which is exciting. Thank you all for the continued support for each other and knowledge that gets shared on here daily. This is really a wonderful place for those wanting to change their lives. Keep it up everyone!!

Day 801 and day 0 struggle with eating disorder. It’s icy dangerous cycling to work so I will take this 1h walk.

Day 46! This is usually as far as I make it before I have a drink. But I feel strong. One more day in the books and ready for tomorrow.

Haha, thank you, @Lisa07. And @AllyP, @littlemisschatterbox, @Dazercat, and @Drave.

Yeah, Eric. It actually is a chipmunk, but the rest of the forum saw squirrel and the rest is history. :man_shrugging: :joy:

It feels good and free, @MagicMama. Just like it did yesterday and I trust that means tomorrow, too. :pray:

That’s just the story you tell yourself. Change the story and the story will change. I believe you can be happy should you decide to be. Hugs

It’s really good to see you Mitch. You’ll second guess your decision a lot for a little while. It sounds like your decision came from logic. It’s not easy, even when you’re the one that decides to leave. I think I immediately regretted it when I left both my husbands. However, I knew it was definitely the right and logical thing to do. There’s lots of ups and downs for a while and it slowly gets better. Always speaking kindly of your wife in front of your son is the best thing you can do. Co-parenting can be a lovely thing as well. You have us here to help you through :hugs:

Day 197.
If you added up all of our todays, and all of our total days, it’d be almost a bajillion trillion, give or take. :wink:
But that part doesn’t really matter.
We did another day, and we can do another one tomorrow. I really think so.
G’night all. Big love. :orange_heart:

What a touching share, I’m so happy for the moment you had with your mother. I wish my mum lived to see me now. She prayed everyday for me, it’s so painful she’ll never get to see me sober.:sob::sob::sob:
Well done you!
Blessings and sobriety!

Blew right by my 2 months tonight.


I celebrate by getting a shingles vaccine in the morning, and a blood draw to investigate some health issues. It ain’t champagne, but then again…

Congratulations on your 60 days.
Living large :joy::joy:
We got our shingles shots last year. Wifey and I made a date of it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: It sure is better than getting the shingles. I hear it’s pretty brutal.

Checking in on day 1203 of continuous sobriety. Still recovering from the after effects of Covid-19.
The fatigue and brain fog make some days not so pleasant.
Attended my first in-person meeting Monday night since the beginning of December. Just grateful to be clean and sober and have an incredible sponsor and mentors in my life, along with all of you here on Talking Sober. Much love and respect. :heart:

@Mtrav0040 It’s good to see you Mitch. Hard times yes. You can face them and deal with them when you’re sober and clean. Let’s do this.

  1. Coffee. It’s my weekend. I feel like I’m slacking in a lot of departments. Not quite sure how to get myself back on the rails. Maybe just by doing stuff. Like house chores. Like catching some sunshine now there is some to see. Like doing my home work for therapy. Like not staring at my pc all day (I seem to be a little bit obsessed with goings on in the USA). Like putting one foot in front of the other, both figuratively and for real. So here I go. Have as good a day as you all can. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam. Pic is me biking to get my first vaccine yesterday evening.
