  1. Coffee. My weekend is here. Got to take one of my bikes into the shop on the other side of town for servicing. Too bad for Iā€™d like to ride a bit today. If I hurry maybe I still can. I also might hike a bit :thinking: Either way Iā€™ll be clean and sober. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam where my mobile takes funny pics at night.

    Loads of great milestones here! @Lisa07 @Its_me_Stella @jjcarson92 @everybody Iā€™m forgetting. Huge congrats!

Ah yes we will! Iā€™ve never been to Vienna but will definitely be visiting when I can.
Really appreciate your honesty about how the move affected you. Iā€™ve been thinking about it a lot recently as I know that my drinking escalates in social situations and perhaps in situations where I feel a little lonely or want to feel more confident. I know there will be lots of these situations moving somewhere new so I really want to think about how Iā€™m going to combat that. I donā€™t want to ruin this experience for myself. I think your advice about being open about not drinking from the start is going be key - Iā€™m just going to embrace it as part of my life that isnā€™t up for debate.
Sorry to hear you had a difficult time of it but things are on the up now and that is great :muscle:

Congratulations on 9 months @CATMANCAM, @icebear and @Misokatsu!!

And @RosaCanDoā€¦How did I miss your 8 months??? At least it wasnā€™t because I was drinking and forgot. Just scatterbrained I guess. Congratulations to you!

You all inspire!

Checking in, Day 73 :grimacing:
Struggling a bit today with mental demons.
Iā€™m feeling ashamed that Iā€™m an alcoholic!, Like Iā€™m weak and totally out of control of my own behaviours!
There is no shame in it at all, Iā€™m just feeling judged today from others around me and their attitudes, its rubbing me up the wrong way :woman_facepalming:
Bring on tomorrow :+1:

Day 25 check in - felt a little sparky yesterday about he whole thing, and lost some sleep past night, but ready to fight the good fight today. The good thing is that my thoughts of drinking yesterday were fleeting and followed by thoughts telling me ā€œNo, that would be the dumbest thing you could possibly do right now.ā€ I heard in a meeting to ā€œplay the tape all the way through.ā€ That is what I did and it wasnā€™t pretty. 25 days has been tough enough and for me to start that back over again, no thank you. Have a good day all!!!

Day 14, 2 weeksā€¦ I have a battle in my head, with my thoughts. I want wine, I want to drink wine. I have done 2 weeks, I can go days without drinking so Its OK my mind say. I know it not true, but still. I tell my self not to, thinking of how it Will end(because I know I never stop with one glass not Even one bottle), remembering all the pain I get in my body and how awfull it is the first days quitting drinking.
I done 2 weeks and its been going Great, why is the craving coming know, its been all so good.

One minut at the time, ONE MINUT.

Go and drink two pints of water. Right now, if you can. I canā€™t bear the thought of drinking anything at that pointā€¦

I just made 30 days yesterday. Iā€™ve been having a lot of wine-positive thoughts lately that Iā€™ve been struggling with, but so far reminding myself of the large number of cons vs. the minuscule number of pros for drinking has worked. Iā€™m thinking about joining a Smart Recovery zoom meeting to reinforce sobriety. I enjoy not feeling sick and not binge eating, not feeling anxious and depressed and gross, not wasting a day or two feeling hungover and disgusting.

If you look carefully at the side, it looks photoshopped, but it sure turned my stomach for a minute there! Lol
