Well said. I like that thinking, i definitely agree. I’m hoping after my one year I will slow down on how many days I have and it just starts to feel more natural.

Hey all, checking in on day 229. I was ridiculously busy the last two days, which I guess is good, but I haven’t had much time to read through everyone’s posts so I feel like I’m missing out on a lot.
I hope everyone is doing well and had a good week, here’s to another sober weekend going forward!

Thank you girl. I remember we were right side by side in the very beginning. Just stick with it, I always want to try and give you advice I’m just never sure how to go about it. Just want this more then anything in the damn world, fight your ass off and you’ll become stronger and stronger. No it’s not going to be easy but it will be so worth it. Tell your dealer to fuck off, block there number, give your money to someone you can trust if you dont trust yourself. If your not willing to do any of that then you still may not be ready. You’ll know when it’s truly time. It took me forever, it’s funny the first month felt like a month, 4 months felt like 4 months. But now I’m coming here on a year and it doesn’t feel like a year, it feels like just yesterday I was getting fucked up. That’s how I know I’ll always be a addict and I’ll never be cured, it’s on day at a damn time. Much love and keep checking in

Hello all.
Just checking in at the end day 26. Not just day 26, by a fourth consecutive sober Friday. Unbelievable. Looking forward to sober Saturday morning. The days are so much longer than I remember. Love it.
Went to the pub with some colleagues after work today and didn’t get any cravings. Enjoyed drinking water and getting more hydrated instead of getting bent out of shape. No-one cared that I wasn’t drinking, or at least no-one said anything - which suits me.
Have a great sober weekend, everyone.

Those first several sober Fridays and then weekends were enormously impactful to me. That’s what really showed me that I wanted to stay sober. Well done! Happy for you!

172 days no alcohol.
140 days no cocaine.
I have been planning all week to do my cleaning on Saturday, but woke up this morning and couldn’t shake the urge to get it done, so I had it all done by 9:30am in time for DBT therapy 10-12. It feels nice in my flat again and now I can relax tomorrow instead. 
I walked for 30 mins yesterday and I’m really suffering for it. I can’t wait to see the specialist on 8th Feb to find out what can be done. I have to have hope that come Spring/Summer I can spend more time outdoors, because it does amazing things for my mental well-being.
I showered today too, and that’s something that doesn’t yet happen as often as I’d like, but it’s happening more often that before so I’m progressing and grateful for that.
I hope you all have relaxing weekends

48 days no drinking. 7 days no nicotine! Whew. It’s tough but definitely not impossible.
Yes I seen lord of the flies a few times. I felt like I was living in it when they shut down school last spring and all the kids in the neighborhood were roaming the streets with sticks building forts.

Day 28. Had a video chat with a friend and she showed me her glass of wine. She doesn’t know about my issues with alcohol so not her fault. It led to me really wanting to drink and thinking about the future without alcohol (holidays, celebrations etc) and feeling like I’m missing out. So…went for a bath and relaxed and am trying to keep my mind busy on other things. I know I will feel awful tomorrow if I drink. But feeling so sad that i can’t. Trying to stay strong.
