Certainly not my best day. Probably best classified as sub-mediocre (it’s a word now) but I feel like I finished strong. Step 10 and 11 along with the voice of my sponsor saved me tonight. If had been left to my own broken thinking I’d probably have gone nuclear. If that’s not a miracle I don’t know what is.

My first check in! I’ve only been on TS for a day but I already appreciate all the kindness on this platform. I’m on day 67 and I had court this morning for something that happened while I was using. Got a continuance so I have to deal with it still. But, I’m not high. So I’m proud of myself. Baby steps.

Day 59 checking again. I can’t believe it’s been almost two months without a drink or weed, and eight months since I cut out almost all alcohol from my life. Going strong!

- Let’s go work. We had two nights of covid/curfew riots across the country. Crazy. Well, unless I’m working I’m in at night. Having tea and watching it on TV. Sober and clean. Have as good a day as you all can. A picture of summer to remind y’all and myself that it will return. Love from Amsterdam.

You been doing so great!! It’s been a pleasure reading about your progress. Your progress is just as encouraging to me as someone with years of progress. We’re all in this together. Keep up the great work. You’re worth it.
Checking in day 135
Just passed the 2/3rd of my longest sobriety stretch.
Even if I have cravings still every week, even sometimes everyday, I am in a lot better place then last time I got sober (and way better then when I’m drunk lol). I got to cope with my insecurities and doubts everyday instead of drinking them away. And my gift for doing so is to stay real and being able to keep searching for answers. I guess that is a good deal.
Hope y’all have a good day!

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 149
Done with this weeks studying, just need to attend school meetings the rest of the week. But I’ve read everything and prepared for the seminar so now it’s time to relax.
As if that was possible 
Sun is shining, it’s still cold, but as always the sunshine does brighten my mode and brings hope. I don’t know why but things always feels a little easier when the sun shines, even if nothing except for the weather has changed since yesterday.
My husband got informed yesterday that he can stay home for 1,5 years if needed. He won’t get a full paycheck, but he won’t loose his job or stay without pay either. We’re still a lot behind this month and probably will be at least until summer, but it did make things a little easier to know that.
His ex, tweenies mother is coming here next week, to stay a few days. She lives in the other end of the country and are required at kids psychiatric hospital meetings scheduled for next week, because she’s still the only one who has custody. She’s stunning, looks like a photomodel in a magazine or something and always makes me feel less. Even the thought of having her here gives me more anxiety, but it’s not like there’s another option.
I hope y’all are having a great day, I’m about to take a walk in the sun and forget my problems for a while.

On my way to work running behind schedule I’m little tired hoping to clear my mind of a fog nothing extreme just tired. It’s funny when I have to go to work I’m up late when I’m off I’m up early. God Bless everyone!

Day 141: No sleep. Nope. Feeling rough, but I have nothing pressing (other than the 6 or so inches of snow to move, but it hasn’t stopped snowing, so that can wait). I’ll probably see some of you around the forum today as I take it easy. 
EDIT: Holy shit guys, it’s a LOT of snow! Big drifts, too. Huh. Still going to wait till it stops snowing!

- Gonna fake it till I make it today. Not sure where my life mojo went. Watched Jim Gaffigan last night… I needed a good laugh. Husband is off tonight, so it will be nice to have some help and company. Hope everyone has an awesome/sober day!

Hey all, checking in on day 226.
@RosaCanDo I’m sorry you’re having a rough go of it, but I’m glad you’re still doing it sober. Hopefully the snow might cheer you up? I feel like sometimes that makes the cold more worth it lol
@marcusmaximus2000 Congrats on 55 weeks!! That is amazing

Just a quick check in as day 23 draws to a close here in Singapore. Feeling better and better day by day. Feeling like the fog is lifting more and more. Clarity of thought is returning. Loving having the energy and the motivation (not mention the sober capacity) to do things. Can feel my confidence returning. Can feel my anxiety receding. Feeling useful again. LOVING being sober.
Have a great sober morning/afternoon/evening/day wherever you are. X

Hey friends, checking in on day 161 after having been absent from the forum for a while.
Holy shit. I can’t believe I’ve been sober this long, even as I’m typing it out! The last time I got sober, I would obsess about my sober timer a lot. I would question if that big of a “sacrifice” was really necessary to live a happy live… spent a lot of time on this carousel. Sigh.
I wish I could tell you what I’m doing different this time that works for me. I don’t know. I have a pretty good “relationship” with my depressive disorder at the moment - I think that’s a big part of it. Not drinking breakes the vicious cycle of alcohol being a depressant and an urge to drink when feeling depressed. Maybe my brain chemistry is finally levelling out a bit? I’ll take it for the moment being on a forum and learning to open up a little is a game changer as well! Also have plans of joining a support group once I moved to practice even more 
Hope all of you are doing good
