check in to end day 404 no drugs and booze and day 93 without nicotine.
Iām doing pretty good. Some of my supports that were failing me before continue to fail. Iām doing my best to help them. My one housemate was drinking in the house again today. There but for the grace of God go I. I have other supports so I will be ok and itās a learning process. Still praying , reading doing my gratitude. Volunteering. Strengthening my relationship with myself and my family.
Instead of staying home and trying to solve the problems of others. I went to week one of a step working group. We didnāt start anything yet it was an introduction and hereās what to expect the next twelve weeks. Iām excited to see how it goes and nervous cause well as alot of you know some of these twelve steps are pretty daunting. One day at a time. Relaxing on the couch now and enjoying some basketball.
God bless you all. 
& 
P.s. never forget you are incredible. Ya you!!

Mentioned my 2nd year sober birthday to my dad in passing which is next Thursday. Said we should do lobster tails for the celebration. My dad (whoās drunk at this point) looked at me and said you should be buying us lobster tails for putting up with you all those years you werenāt sober.

Iām alive and clean Day 208ā¦
The hurdles we all face on this journey of recovery is so powerful and meaningfulā¦
I read up on so many people stories and it fills me with a hope and wonder so deep in my soulā¦
I use to think I had no purpose, no life and a defect on this world a hiccup of errorsā¦ How much Iāve grown through peoples own growth Iāve been able to see a clearer way through my addiction.
I will happily put my hands out to catch, support and guide people to where they need to be, something in active addiction I couldnāt do, hell it was a constant self sabatage of how I was a burden, a nothing and a fucking retardā¦
Thankful of life, thankful of the word NO and greatful that I got through another day clean and was able to cry, feeling the raw emotion of missing someone.
I feel awake,

- Finished my coffee. I want to go out because the weather is so nice and itās my Sunday. Going to do some chores though. Sometimes we have to choose chores over pleasure. Improve ourselves or our surroundings instead of just enjoying life. Itās what it is. I know Iāll be glad to have a clean house and a trimmed head later. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Zandvoort beach. I did have a nice ride yesterday
@NeverJust1 Triple digits L.! Huge congrats!

Day 198
Still not being as productive as I would like, but no binge eating (day 3 for that) and no drinking. Too much screen time, but it is watching dramas in Japanese, so feels a bit more beneficial than just going down yt rabbit holes. Did go for a run today today. I have been a bit slack with that, and my endurance has dropped a lot, which feels very defeating, but I guess just getting out and keeping up with it is something.

Checking in day 164
Iām happy to see so much progress within the people making this thread. Lots of struggle, sure, but who says it would be easy? Damn life is hard. But itās harder to be a drunk. Maybe one or a couple of nights it looks like having a drink would fix it, but truth is itās only gonna make it worst.
Iāve been struggling myself these days. Cravings starting straight before lunch. Iām pretty sure itās because Iām tired and having hard time getting on top of it since last couples of weeks. So before I had anything to my plate Iāll have to fix my sleep and food intake to make sure I am recovering properly. I wonāt fall for the overworking dude that I was that needed to blackout in weekends to compensate the hard work of the week. Consistency is key and life isnāt about making it through the week. Itās about being. Just being. And Iāll make sure to be better than I was before.
Thanks sobriety for that. Sobriety is a superpower.
Which you all a good day,
Take care everyone.

Checking in at the end of day 53.
Forgot to check in yesterday, which I was taking as quite a positive sign, but then had some cravings today. Not sure that the two things are related though. Was hungry, dehydrated, tired and stressed in work, so Iām pretty sure it was that. A good friend wanted to go for a beer after work, so I went with him and had 4 pints of Guinness Clear (tap water), whilst he had a couple of beers. Feel fantastic now, and I really enjoyed the hour. It isnāt the booze, itās good conversation that makes things enjoyable.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
