Day 3.
I had so much anxiety waking up this morning. My skin was crawling. Worst feeling ever… Anyway I got up at 9.30am. I had the meeting with the AOD worker. I have to go to a place up the road to meet with another place. The meeting this morning was just a first step touching base thing. I didn’t get any information that I didn’t already know. I keep getting the reaction from people that I’m fine. I present well and talk normally so people tend to not think I need help. I will go for a walk up to this other place Ive been referred to… Will keep a positive outlook and keep looking forward.

Day 302.
Man oh man, this sobriety really does become the thing we can trust to get us through. It was never whatever was poured into the glass. Damn good thing, because I broke a few too many of those wine glasses but I’m going to take precious care of this sober life. Let’s all handle with care for another day, hey friends?
G’night all. Until tomorrow! 
But there’s high-fives to hand out!
@Bigbear and @apes2020 and @Soundlab - sober triplets! From Day 2 to Day 3! Stay the course. Stay here with us.
Welcome @JennyB4u and congrats on your 17 days clean!
Happy 10 months to @vaariesga and @Jennajen ! All good wishes and things to you both.
@Dazercat and @marcusmaximus2000 so close to 500! Yer not getting separate cakes, fyi. So sort it out amongst yourselves and let me know. And yes, zucchini is going in it, Eric.

Day 260
When I see people with 300 days I think to myself, wow, that is so great! Hard to believe in little over a month that will be me. Also crazy I am thinking “oh, another month, no biggie”. I remember when I was checking the days constantly. Today is my usual day off, when I do sobriety stuff. My sponsor had to cancel today, and the zoom meeting I usually do was quiet so I shared, which I SUCK SO BAD at. I can express myself to my sponsor, and on here, I don’t know why I can’t in meetings. I guess it is just practice.

Day 3
Didn’t sleep a wink last night but happy to be waking up on day 3.
Went to an important work meeting yesterday as 'big bear’as I forgot to change my zoom name after the evening meeting 
Maybe it shows a commitment to a new sober me
Have a good day everyone

Checking in on 7 days. 1 week. Slowly climbing up again. I am careful amd watching my progress carefully. so many times I’ve been here already…
It’s another beautiful sunny day. I’m overall mentally in a very good space. Enjoying time outside as much as I can with my kids. Peace in me. Don’t know how to describe it… Hope you all have a great day out in the sun

@anon35096624 Congrats on 7 days. Glad you are feeling well.
Checking in on Day 13. Still waking early with anxiety and worry but it is easing each day I think. My therapist asked me to journal each day for a week but with focus on reflection on both good and bad (I definitely tend to use it more as a tool when I’m feeling low). So I’m doing that for 15mins this morning before the work day begins.
Have great days everyone x

Day 1 again. I stepped away for a while thinking it was no big deal, but now I’m back where I started. I can never seem to talk myself out of my urges, but always the exact opposite. I have no idea how to keep a long string of days together.

Indeed we are, and thank you. 
Now that I’ve been brought back, I’ll try to hop on the site more often. Honestly, it’s good to see your avatar as well 
And that of others’ as well.

The mistake is to think we have it under control. We never have. We are lost. And if we don’t stick to a program like staying on here or AA (that’s what I do a combination of both) you go down the same rabbit hole as always…so learn from it and stay here! Well done on 24 hours.

Checking in on day 10. Yesterday I felt great. Today I have crippling anxiety. Hope that these ups and down will one day, eventually recede. Anxiety is truly horrible

Hey Kels. Great job on day 10! Super!
Do you do any breathing exercises or guided meditations? I use the Breethe App. There’s tons of apps out there. They have tons of different meditations too. And some for anxiety. Some are 5 or 6 minutes if you’re too busy. Some are 30 minutes or longer. I use it all the time.
Nice seeing you around some.
Keep up the great work.
Your worth it !

- Last day of my 2 day vacation
Will make the best of it. Had a huge 
ride yesterday. Will do a small recoup one today. And drive home after. Today the terraces in the Netherlands reopen, I might have a soda. No temptation for alcohol. Glad with that so I can safely do the 2.5 hours drive home after. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from the Ardennes yesterday.
