Hello everyone and congratulations on all your achievements. Iām Brian and Iām a selfish alcoholic who hasnāt read any posts on here in a while. I will tell you what Iāve been doing though in hopes that it helps more than just myself. I gratefully completed steps 5 through 7 just today like five minutes ago. Also itās a milestone day for me.
God bless you all.
&
p.s. I believe in you, youāre incredible. Ya you!!

Day 292.
A good day. But how could it not be? It had all the right makingsā¦ a Saturday, yummy coffee (and no rushing off to the work laptop), a good muddy hike with the dog girl, a lovely long phone chat with a dear old palā¦ and hanging out with you good sober people.
Canāt get much better, so I think Iāll call it a day. What do you say - letās go get another one tomorrow. I like our chances. 
Gānight sweet friends.
So much to celebrate on here, as always!
@I.cant.We.can oh congrats, friend! 15 months is amazing! But I will argue one point - youāre not selfish! (Oh, and be warned. Iāll win! 
) Very proud.
@C_8 thank you! Now I can go to sleep! Oh - and congrats!
Glad to hear your husband is okay, @MrsOdh!
Super glad your move went well, @CATMANCAM - and yes, family, sigh. Sounds like you know how to deal with it all pretty well.
Super excited for you @Complicatedmama! Thatās great news.
And sending you hugs and strength, @trose1995.

Hi all, Iām back in Switzerland now, and happy to be homeā¦ though Iām looking forward to moving !
Iāve found myself a great flatā¦ good size (slightly bigger than my current place), good location (small city), with air conditioning, a big balcony and locked private parkingā¦ and a great price, especially when compared with Switzerland !!!
I still need to āfinalizeā things, but itās going well.
Anyway, my VW ID.3 ran like a top (an electric top, I guess) all the way there and all the way back. In Turin, it was a bit annoying to see people parking in the spaces with chargers for electric cars when they DONāT have electric cars, however. Itās not as awful as people misusing spaces for the handicapped, of course, but itās still annoying as hell. I plan to have a charger installed in my parking garage, that will make things much easier.
Iām also glad that, despite having been in one of THE countries famous for its red wine (my DoC), I didnāt feel any great desire to buy any.
8 months and countingā¦ and looking forward to the 1-year mark.
Have a good day, all.

- Coffee. Just woke up to my last alarm clock for three weeks. Only some late shifts left before my vacation. Yay! Let me paraphrase Muhammad Ali though and say Iāll make my day count and not count my days. You all have a good Sunday friends, or at least as good as you all can. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam and Long Beach WA four years ago, beach cruising with my friend. Reminded me of the Dutch dunes.

That all sounds great!
Day 250
Some core issues reared their heads today, and I was reactive and controlling. And ungrateful. I still have a lot to learn. Progress not perfection, I guess.

Morning all. Loved seeing everyoneās updates and congrats on all the wonderful achievements.
Day 3 for me. Had 2 social engagements yesterday with friends I hadnāt seen in a long time. Didnāt drink for either and felt good about it. Happy to get home clear headed and to sleep well and wake early today.
The occasional day/week off has never been my problem, though, but this is the first time Iāve been honest about my desire/need to abstain totally. I will miss it on those happy, sunny days. But I need to remember the times it has ruined those happy sunny days, too.
Have great Sundays, all!

Hi! Iām a newbie here too. Welcome.
Great that youāve made progress over the past 6 months. I have done that too, but this time know it needs to be something more permanent. Well done on day 5 x

Just some reassurance that the happy sunny days are even happier when you know you will get to enjoy the next happy sunny day hangover free! 
My last day drinking was exactly one of those happy sunny days that got ruined. Iām so glad that I finally woke up to the realisation that I donāt have to put myself through that any more.

Thats good to hear it gets easier. I literally woke up this morning thinking oh great, sunās out, wine time! Even though last night I had a really lovely evening infront of a fire pit with a pint of fruit squash while others were drinking. Was tough but I felt so proud of myself! Especially since new people were there which always makes me a bit anxious. However no doubt I made a better impression than if Iād been my usual drunken idiot self!
Nice to travel home sober amongst all the drinkers on the train too.
Day 11. Whoop!
