Day number 205 has been one of the harder days for the last few months, had a depression episode hit me all of a sudden, been under a lot of stress but not drinking helps me control that and understand its normal to be down sometimes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger? Moving into a better evening with a smile

Glad to see you checking in 
Going on day 3. Feels good. Very tired, though. No more pain in my chest or lungs, so that’s cool 
Was pretty nauseous this morning and last night. Hopefully that goes away. Other than that, today wasnt bad! Had a tiny craving after work, but it’s been a few hours & nothing!
Blessings to everyone

Checking in Day 8. Difficult day. Feeling a little tired and run down. Although still putting my self care as priority by waking up at 6 to do my yoga and meditation and prayer.
Just feeling the feelings good and bad. Cried a lot today. My youngest isa cting out as he hasn’t seen his father in a while as the police were called by my daughter since I had a black eye and was being verbally abused. This was the last weekend that I used/ drank hopefully forever.
Thankful im getting supports and counseling for the children and myself. Although lonely I know after 18 years of this Its time to move on in hopes that there has to be peace in our /my life. Hope everyone’s doing well Blessings. Good Evening all!

Great job on your 8 days Des. One day at a time. I’m glad your taking care of yourself. You’re worth all the benefits sobriety has to offer. And being sober you will find that peace. There will always be problems but being sober there will be a little bit of peace to go with them. Stick with us. Lots of great support here.

Day 239.
A good day. And better even when I check in here!
Always something and someone to celebrate on this thread. @Charlie_C on triple digits! (I’m soo late, but hey – it just spreads out the festivities!) and @Gonefishin on double digits!
Of course, no day is complete without hugs on offer too for any and all who may need 'em. @Olivia, @Rockstar24777 - I’m glad you’re checking in, big bro, and glad you are feeling better, and @Complicatedmama - that’s a lot of loss. You honour them all with your sobriety. @Dazercat - oof, yuck. But hey, you’re sober! So that’s amazing 
Quite a day. But, we did it. The dog girl snores now, and soon so must I.
G’night all - let’s go get another day tomorrow.

I’m sorry for your loss Thomas, she’ll be your angel looking out for you. Congrats on your days, great job.
Blessings and sobriety!
Hopefully in the coming months more things will be opening and reopening, so maybe some time in your schedule for new things will turn out to be a good thing

Recipe please!
I gave up trying to maintain sobriety and had not made any new attempts for over a year. Can’t even blame it on the pandemic. I just stopped caring.
This past January I was sober (alcohol) for a week and it felt great. I told myself I wanted to keep it up, but I cave so easily. Since then I’ve been drinking a lot more and my depression has been overwhelming. I know if I quit drinking I’ll feel so much happier, be more productive, more in control.
So here we go again. I know it’s possible for me. I just have to stay focused and be honest with myself. Writing here helps, too. Thanks to everyone on here for the support. Appreciate the power of this community!

- Coffee. My weekend just started. My upstairs neighbour decided to start some renovation project. Ships. Well, it’s unseasonably warm outside, I’m fairly well rested, I’m sober and clean. I’ll go for a ride
. I’ll make it a longish one and that will be all for today. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.
@Clarity Sorry for your financial losses but huge congrats for the gains in your life Sarah! Seven months of sobriety is awesome lady. Whatever happens living sober is always better. Big hugs.
@hit_the_switch Welcome back here and welcome back to your sobriety! Let’s do this! Together!

Day 197
Ok-ish day today, not quite as productive as I would like, did two loads of washing and a Japanese class. My sponsor cancelled our zoom meeting today, so still on step 4. Maybe a few more resentments will surface before next week.

Today I feel heartbroken…
I miss my step dad Alot, there are days where I wish I could hear his Irish foul mouth again.
As a child I couldn’t understand his actions nor his behaviour at times but now as an adult at the age I am now he was dignosed with secondary progressive MS, his life changed overnight and so did mine and my mother’s… He raised me with values I still have today, he showed me a compassion when I came out as a lesbian he never wanted me gone, he’d argue in his bed for me continously and would joke that he wished he’d got action off a guy before his disease got to him.
We travelled some beautiful parts of the world and he showed me how a father should love a child, when I had no money he was the first to give me funds.
Though we fought we always made up, his words of no matter how much we fight don’t leave this house without saying goodbye to me.
I watched this disease from the age of 12 cripple a man to his bed, begging me to end his life and instead I asked him to fight a little longer as I was scared of losing a man who adored me for me.
Im glad your not suffering anymore but I do truly miss you and for today I’ll be clean and I will express the pain I feel!
