@Tomek, congratulations on triple digits! You’re doing so great!
@Piglet and @Rockstar24777, congratulations on eight months! You sober twins are awesome!
@Girlinterrupted, I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis. But I’m more than impressed that you got up this morning and started doing research. I hope that you will be able to participate in the program you found.
@Charlie_C, fingers crossed that your test comes back negative. Weird times that we’re living in when I say, “I really hope you have a cold.”
Final checking for the day… coming up to 1 day clean & sober. Had a few thoughts of using but when I got home from work, I did what I said I would do and now I’m feeling relaxed and happy. I ate, did some tidying up, and in abit I will have a shower, then off to bed. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings and what I can accomplish by having being clean today and getting a good sleep. Thank you all for being here and for being my biggest support group
83 days no alcohol. I was asked to go have a beer the other day and I said no thank you. It really made me want a damn beer though for a couple of days.
Cravings are gone though and I’m glad I didn’t give in. Pressing on…
I’m so proud of you for checking in throughout the day @Butterflymoonwoman. I think accountability will help you stay on track. Get a good nights rest.
HUGE congrats to you girl!! I knew your 1 year sober date was coming up because you’re just about a month ahead of my 1 year date haha anyway, great job, what a great accomplishment!
Headed to bed. 84 days sober. Posting twice today in this thread because I just need to. Some good things happened today, but my mind is a wreck. I wish I could erase memories. Even googled “how to forget memories on purpose.” Apparently there is some kind of memory suppression therapy. Anyone know anything about this? Anxiety is off the charts today. Stupid thoughts about suicide are on my mind. Drinking would only complicate all of this. I’ve got some really great things going on, but on the inside I’m a mess. That’s the update. Talk to you all tomorrow.
Hey, cwak - first, well done on 84 days. I haven’t heard of this therapy. I’m no expert, but my counsellor I think would say suppression (for me) would be like avoidance, which wouldn’t be so good. But all that said - this sounds like something to talk to the doc about? I think the anxiety is worth reaching out to the pros. Lots of people on here will tell you it’s scary to go but better once you have the talk.
You’re also coming up on 90 - which is a pretty big deal, so don’t discount the stress around that either.
Day 229.
Couldn’t have asked for a much better day. But I’m too knackered to tell of it! Stretched my legs before bed. Here’s our moon rising tonight where I live.
Made me think – we share more than we don’t, both in recovery and simply as humans. Despite all our differences on paper, I believe at our core we all have much more in common than anything that divides. Not just the moon.
Good thing. Because I like it here. Oh – and I wouldn’t have my days without’cha.
We did it – another one. And you know what? We can do another day tomorrow. Just watch us.
G’night, beautiful people.
Coffee. Let’s do this Sunday working stuff. Thaw will come today which is a pity because further skating will be off, who knows for how long. But it’s good for many other reasons. Come rain or shine, freeze of thaw, I’ll be sober and clean. Because my life is so much better this way. Not easier but a whole lot better. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.
Usual day of homework with the kids, a potter round a shopping mall and a sandwich picnic on a bench, then tennis with the inlaws.
My daughter exchanged friend-Valentines with her buddies. One of the friends gave her real professional looking ones, I am not much of a baker, and wanted ours to be my daughter’s effort anyway. They definitely looked like a seven year old made them .
I knew your 1 year sober date was coming up because you’re just about a month ahead of my 1 year date haha anyway, great job, what a great accomplishment!
Crazy good. 
I definitely will get a good rest. Hope you do too! And see you tomorrow
