Day 30!! Hitting my one month, longest I have ever been sober and this time around it feels amazing; like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Doing my happy dance this am, having some tea, and just going to enjoy the heck out of today!
Shout out to all the milestones, day ones, and everyday check ins, you all are my heros.

Checking in as day 30 draws to a close here. Much better today. Slept well last night, so no cravings. Had a game of football with some friends this evening. 4 v 4. Old boys. I was one of the youngest at 50. Iāll be in a great mood tomorrow with all of that activity juice coursing around my system.
Have a great Tuesday/Wednesday wherever you are. Goodnight.

Hey Freckles. Sorry your struggling. Iām glad youāre still here. I havenāt seen you much on here. I guess we are just on different paths on different threads. TS is a pretty big place. Anyway. Iām finding strength in being in isolation with Covid. Iām so grateful to be sober. As Iāve mentioned being grateful is my strongest tool. Now to look at things in reverse. If I was still drinking while stuck in isolation?? Well holy shit. Iād be drunk all day. The place would be a mess. Iād be dirty. Nothing to stop me. Hungover. Headachey. Sic and a complete mess. No. I donāt think we want that again. A zoom AA meeting sounds like a great idea you got there. Just for today. Donāt pick up that drink. Your worth it.

Thanks @Dazercat. You are so right. I am practicing daily gratitude and I have written a journal since I was 6 years old so that habit I canāt unstick! Pretty useful for times like this. Iāve been checking in here everyday almost, this community keeps me going until the end of the day 
I am feeling okay, like us all this is exacerbated by lockdown. But I also try to imagine my cells renewing and loving that im alcohol free! Stay strong and thanks for you support. Hopefully meet you soon! Spring is coming, one day we inch a bit closer. Also letās remember that our ENVIRONMENT IS ILL. So if we are struggling that is a natural response. We just need to not pick up the bottle. I also love hobbies - this week I bought tarot cards

Day 148: Iāve got that Joe Cocker song stuck in my head since yesterdayā¦āFeeling Alright, wo ho!ā Iām going to ride this wave as long as possible.
@siand Quad digits! Congrats. Thanks as always for keeping it real and being honest and vulnerable with us newbies. I enjoy reading your posts, even when itās about life being hard. Itās life.
@MagicMama and @Singtone WAY TO GO!!! I agree with @Lisa07, itās also my favorite milestone. Iāve been there a few times, but it was when I felt like being sober was real and possible, and my focus could shift to what recovery looks like more long term.
@Briella always good to see you back. I agree with @MagicMama, we want to see you everyday!
@Tryingtogetitright Awesome numbers! Iām glad you check in here so consistently.
@Jennajen Sorry youāre in pain. I can relate. My chest ALSO pops when I stretch, and my husband always says, āGood one!ā
Sending big loving vibes to all you TS folks today for strength in sobriety and recovery.

Iām here, Iām alive and Iām sober.
Day 156
And Iām tired of shoveling snow.
Besides that everything is pretty much like normal. A constant chaos.
The Ex (my husbandās ex wife, tweenies Ma) aināt coming. So thatās one less thing to worry about, at least.
Iām going to wait and see how things play out this week, after tomorrowās meeting at the kids psychiatric hospital, and Fridayās meeting at the social service. Court had tried to contact tweenies Ma about the custody but she hasnāt been answering their calls since October according to them. Iām giving it another month, if she still refuses and weāre still in this total chaos, sheās going to have to come and pick up tweenie and have her staying with her again. We tried again, and we went overboard trying but we canāt work in a constant upwind. Itās impossible and Iām sick and tired of it. Good thing is that my husband is taking his full responsibility and is working with me. For a while I never thought he would. So thatās positive.
Wishing yāall a wonderful Tuesday.

Not much to say today. Trying hard to show my reliability with my job tho. When I use I usually end up staying up till the early morning and then calling in bcuz Iām so tired. Iāve been able to attend my job everyday lately but am usually late getting there. Iām working on it lol physically I feel good and mentally alright. Just trying to get through another day

@anon60334405!!! D started the party early, and Iām all for it! You have been such a valued member and important part of my own recovery, I appreciate everything youāve posted over the last year. Even when, maybe especially when, I was lurking and reading around the forum but not ready to engage, your posts really helped me to be more honest with myself and push through those walls I put up. Iām so proud of you on your year!

The night sweats, daily migraines, and constant thirst finally stopped. I never want to go through that again.
