Truth! Exatly me. Always the introvert. However, over time…sober me has come out of his shell. I guess finally putting down alcohol and dealing with my issues actually was a good thing. The more I did that, the more I liked myself, the more confidence I had.

Hello all.
Checking in sober at the end of day 69. 
Had a really busy and productive day, followed by a great evening with friends and my lovely wife. We didn’t drink, obviously, but the other 4 did. No-one cared, although I care now because I feel marvelous and they are going to feel rough in the morning.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Day 187: Checking in a bit late today, busy morning! And lots more to do - getting ready for lunch and then food prep for a grill out this afternoon. We’re grilling for dinner, but also some extra items for weekly meal prep, so I’ll be in my kitchen for a while, fun! Had a good chat with my husband this morning about my sobriety and how we can be mindful together when he wants to drink alcohol. I didn’t even bring it up, he said he was sorry for passing out so early last night and that after a couple weeks of abstinence his tolerance was much lower. Which he can learn from, too. And I can check my thoughts and recognize if I am getting into self-pity territory…ultimately, I really do enjoy my own company so it shouldn’t be a big deal if he falls asleep before I’m ready to. Sigh…I feel a bit silly today but it’s okay. It’s all a learning experience. Thanks to @Jennajen, @Tommo and @Dazercat for your responses. It really helped to hear from you. Sending sober strength to the TS-verse today!

I wonder if it’s all the sugar 
I hope you can run it out of you.
Do you meditate?
Since it’s been so cold and nasty here I been listening to my guided meditations with Breethe App and they got some Freedom From Emotional Eating ones that I been listening too and stuff like that. I bet many apps have specific guided meditations for what ever is ailing ya. I listen to the Free from Anxiety one all the time too.
Oh and congrats on 260. Big numbers

215 days no alcohol.
183 days no cocaine.
10 days no binge-eating.
Thank you so much for the support re my housing situation, but I’m sorry to report I won’t be moving in, my dad came with me to the viewing and he said it was full of damp and would make my health worse, it was actually so small in real life as well, I wouldn’t have been able to take hardly anything with me. So my Dad and his wife have agreed to let me stay in their bar while I remain on the waiting list for a council property, we all agree this is for the best in regards to long-term security and affordability.
Though I haven’t lived with my Dad since he kicked me out at 15, it shouldn’t be much of an issue because their bar is self contained and has its own shower room and hot and cold water. I will just need to take my kettle, microwave, and buy a small fridge and maybe my bed as that would be comfier for my pain management than a sofabed. I’ve found a deal on 3 months half price storage to put all my stuff so that’s affordable, and they’ve agreed to having my cats stay with me, they are going to move their cat into the main house. Oh and I’m not worried at all by the fact I’ll be surrounding by copious amounts of alcohol.
So now I plan to have a serious decluttering and minimising of things I don’t need and then start packing.
I’m so anxious about emailing the estate agent!

That’s pretty funny. Because about 20 minutes ago when you posted this I was having a session with Alice my orange one. 
Although she was on me while I was on my reformer. Cat therapy always works for me.

Not sure what a ‘bar’ is in this respect, but I’m pretty sure this is an excellent solution for the time being. Succes in writing the estate agent, this is for you Tyler! Congrats.

Hi Tyler, thanks for comment. It sounds like, although it will be exciting when you do get your own place, things have worked out for the best for now.
Worry not about the estate agent, they will get their pay cheque one way or another 
and I bet they didn’t tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the property.

337 today. Off work so I’m doing some home repairs today. It’s funny, I am still finding my little hideaways that I used to stash alcohol. It’s a good reminder of how far I went to try and hide my drinking. I only thought I was hiding it. Everyone else knew. . I’m happy today and feel excited about being sober.
