Today marks 300 days for me. I’m not sure why but I’m especially proud of this milestone; Maybe because I’m slightly OCD and it’s a nice round number lol.

I couldn’t have gotten here without you guys and the great support and advice everyone provides. I’m extremely excited for the 1 year mark although I’m constantly reminding myself that this adventure is about the journey and not the destination. I guess it will just be nice to know that I’ve done everything once while sober (holidays, birthdays etc) so I will be able to say to myself “No sweat, I’ve done this before.” when one of those more tempting days rolls around again.

My life has already made a complete 180 degree turn since I stopped drinking my face off every day. Thank you guys for all of your continuous support and I hope everyone has an amazing day :call_me_hand:

@manishc Please consult with a doctor as tapering off meds is important. Also know that meds for some people are like insulin for a diabetic and there’s no shame in that.
@Clarity Oh Sarah I can’t tell you how happy I am that your test was negative.
@CATMANCAM I’m getting even more excited for your move. You & I have both appeared to struggle a bit on the job front. Accepting that this time of “nothing” is necessary and where I’m supposed to be has helped my outlook and I hope it can help yours.
@Piglet Congratulations on 300 days Graham. It’s awesome seeing you at this point. Having you & your support during this journey is priceless and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@Complicatedmama Love and healing vibes sent your way.
@Olivia HUGS sis. Know I’m here for you.
@Mno OMG. . .can I be the one who tests the rides???
@Harold Congratulations on 365 days of ODAAT
@Nordique WHOOP WHOOP. . .300 days is awesome and I’m proud of you.

298 days. Thinking I’m not going to get a proper night’s sleep until my man and the girls are home. Thankfully they are heading home today. The last couple of days have really tested me but I’m proud of how I’ve handled things and so far have no regrets. At some points I feel like a ticking time bomb ready to go off but I can only take so much and be pushed so far. Being a bitch and sticking up for myself feels so good.

Checking in.

Had some fantastic news yesterday about a friend who has been having a really terrible time of it. Got to meet up with her for the first time since August to celebrate. My partner bought champagne and I had a very quick moment of jealousy/ craving/ what if as we popped the cork. But as I poured myself my sparkling water I thought about how amazing it would be that I would be present and able to remember the time with one of my best friends. We all ended up staying up until 3am dancing, laughing and just having an amazing time. Much needed for all of us!

While they’ve been having a little snooze with last night catching up on them, I’ve managed to have a quick tidy round, a game with the puppy and a look at the Radical Compassion challenge which starts later this month.

So grateful to be sober and appreciate these things. Life is just better this way! :pray: :sparkling_heart:

Day 302 clean and sober today, happy Saturday everyone!!! I received an email yesterday that I’m officially registered with the state of California as an entry level drug and alcohol counselor. I have an appointment this coming Tuesday to register for classes. I think it’s the proper path for me to take because it’s the best way to take all of the darkness I’ve had in my life and use it to help others. Have a great day everyone, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:
