It’s done, end of. And here we go again a little bit wiser. Next time you want to pick up DM me. Get yourself a more direct support network, if you want my phone number just ask, get as many as you can and use them. You’ve proved to yourself you’ve got what it takes so all we gotta do next time is find you a distraction from one stupid thought.

Day 311. Overall a good day. Tomorrow I’ll be seeing some family members that I haven’t seen since I got sober. But they know my struggles and I’ve told them I don’t drink anymore. Hoping for a nice reunion.

Checking in sober, Day 441 (today makes 63 weeks AF)! Been a few days since I’ve checked in, been enjoying several days unplugged from tech and outside in the warm sun! 
Did lots of yard work, several hikes, a bike ride, cleaned my grill and made steaks for dinner, and did daily meditations sitting by the riverside. Here’s a pic - bonus points for it also qualifying for the threads Sober Selfies, Sober Leg Selfies and Inspiring Photos of Nature!!! Hope everyone is having a great, sober week!!!

Great day today worked in my yard. Worked out got a good night sleep last night. Had a rough day yesterday but made it through with no drinking. Today was a better day. Now at the vets for my fur babies annual check up alittle nervous cause I can’t go in with them and one of my boys doesn’t do well with strangers! I feel like a mom leaving her baby for the first time at daycare lol

Glad it is going well! Family reunions can be great, also can be tough, for various reasons. Glad they know you don’t drink anymore.

Day 178 alcohol/ day 52 smoking. It poured rain all day today, and the toilets backed up at work because the office started to flood a bit, and one of my male coworkers decided to say something gross to me. Not a great day. But I’m curled up in bed with Max snoring his tiny dog snores as I read about everyone’s milestones and struggles here, and I’m glad to be here sober at the end of another day.
@littlemisschatterbox woohoo! 18 months! That’s awesome!
@Jonachav123 belated congratulations on 120 days!
@CATMANCAM thank you for sharing about how you’re feeling. Moving is one of the most stressful things people ever do. If the “relapsy” feelings start getting too strong, please dm me. I’ll give you my contact info so we can talk. You’re doing great, and I’d hate to see that wrecked by one moment of overwhelming stress.
@anon60334405, I can really relate to your issues with your friends. When I moved a couple years ago, I realized how much of my socializing was alcohol based. Since I’ve gotten sober, I haven’t seen any of my “friends.” Only a couple of them have even called or texted. It turns out, I’ve changed to the point where we aren’t friends any more. I feel a little awkward, and a little lonely at times, but it’s better to be this way than to try to keep in contact with people who have such different priorities from my own.

I’ve been on Bumble, a dating app since yesterday. And I’m really pleased at how it has and hasn’t affected me. In my brain the general consensus is that it’s a silly idea. But there is a minority sector that expects something wonderful to happen. Let them have their fun, I guess.

Day 11.
My daughter has an eating disorder. Now I’ve gotta be the strong one and figure how to make meals with calories and the stress is unreal.
You’ll never guess what that stress makes me want to do. Hint : it rhymes with sink and involves alcohol.
I’m trying to hang in there.

…and 
Off to bed so I can be up at 4am to do it all over again

Congratulations on your 11 days. That’s great.
I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter. That is so hard. My had daughter anorexia nervosa a long long time ago. It’s so hard to deal with. But being sober is going to make it easier to deal with. And you know this. You’re so close to getting over the beginning humps of quitting drinking. Try to hang in there. Just for today. Is there a meeting you can go to tomorrow? Or someone you can talk to? Play it through. If you drink there will be a lot more drama. And unclear thought process. Breathe. You can get through this. Pray. Drinking as you well know will not make the problem better or go away. Never ever does.
