Checking In Daily to Maintain Focus #25

life is a long time that’s why we only live 24 hours at a time. There’s no way I can stay sober forever but I can today with the help of a program and fellow addicts, as long as I ask for help when I need it I’ll get help when I need it. You got this :+1:I wish you well on your journey.

Love this.

Thank you for the support!

I can’t belive how fast the past 60 days have gone by ! Checking in everyday is the key to keeping us focused. I’ve been on here for over a year now and I am so grateful that I downloaded the clean day counter to my phone November 2019 because it lead me to all you beautiful soberian friends that are a big factor in my sobriety. So again, thank y’all for being y’all :heart::tada::pray::trophy:

Hi @Singtone
I’m checking into my fourth Friday too - day 28 I think I’m on. It’s the weekends I love the most and equally I think a good reminder to us to not get complacent. Tonight I felt like I could have had a glass of wine and had just one and then I realised I’d just forgotten why I quit. I think this process is more about REMEMBERING what’s important than about hating ourselves into habits. Youre clearly doing great :+1: so nice one! PS where are you that pubs are open ?!?!? Sending a happy Friday to all on TS as I check in sober. I read above and will try reply to more messages but when I check in on my phone it isn’t easy to reply to all the ones I want to! Will sort that. Happy Friday and enjoy waking up sober on Saturday morning with tea, toast and radio! Thank you all for being a part of this journey of learninf to like myself and rely on myself. You’re all warriors :raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands:)

Yes. It was never even a question. No decision. No thought. Completely automatic. Weekends were just a write off. Always. Very occasionally I would not drink on a Saturday because I was so sick after drinking way too much on a Friday, but more often than not I would just push through and get over the hump by gunning the first couple until I felt normal. Sober weekends are an absolute revelation to me, and a little glimpse into how other people live. Thanks for your reply. It has made me reflect on it a lot more. :pray:t2:

I’m with you @Sparkle. I’m struggling with friends and work colleagues mentioning wine knowing that old me loved it but not knowing that old me also struggled and blacked out on it. The helpful community here have just told me to be sober for ME and think about others later. Be sober today and we will think about the holidays etc when they arrive. I am also day 28 and worried as I usually crash at around week 5 where I start romanticising alcohol and feel I deserve a drink. I want to make it THROUGH that. We can do it - more baths, good food, and looking forward :slight_smile:
