Morning everyone! Day 82 for me. Feeling great , got a nice long bank holiday weekend here in the UK so 3 days off work. Going to look after my 7 year old grandson for an hour his morning who will probably get me onto his x box where I will he hopeless . Then off to the gym for an hour. Me and my other half then going for lunch out this afternoon which will be the first time since lockdown started lifting - I’m fine with having a soft drink or NA beer and a nice meal. Then hopefully find a good film to watch tonight ! All in all a nice peaceful sober day which is exactly what I want.
Have a great day everyone :blush:x

Feel like I’m constantly fooling myself into believing I can control when I drink ? Can I have one drink a month ? Stuck in this pattern after 3 days now I think I can have just one ends up me drinking for 4-5days before I say let’s stop again!!! Another day one today

Checking in on day 10. I love sober weekends. Just woke up now at 9:30am. What a beautiful lie in. No plans for today. Just being with the kids and hubby. Wishing everyone a great sober Saturday :heart_eyes::sunglasses:

We are suffering from the same insanity Fam @Ste. It’s time we took all the help available to us and make it work. I have decided to try everything one by one if I have too, something has got to work. My first try is AA, I’ll take it from there. Important thing is to keep that open mindset… Stay strong

This is great to read, I wanted to stay sober and failed everytime bc I thought I knew best and was not open to alternatives, over 7 months later and still sober, turns out other people’s advice and guidance didn’t do me no harm. After all what did I have to lose.

Checking in into my 3d Day. Feeling happy, inspired and motivated. Ready to make this a Great day. Happy that this time quitting feeling much easyer then last time when I fell of Day 12. Last time I had really hard time everyday not to drink, really hard and awfull painfull days. This time it feels to easy. So im sure I have to be carefull and stay alert.

  1. Coffee. Slept well. Feeling good. Not sure what I’ll do today. Maybe :bike: to the organic farm and get some :cheese:. Call a friend and set up a meeting (which is always a big thing for me so it’s therapeutic to do so). I’m 100% sure my day won’t include drinking or drugging. That would bring me absolutely nothing positive. Sober and clean is the way I want to live my life and is the way I live it. One day at a time. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Love from Amsterdam and the island of Terschelling where the Brant geese were pausing on their trek north two years ago today. Sights and sounds I’ll never forget.

Well done on your 7 months. I am tired of my addiction dictating that’s why now I’m listening more and doing more.

Ohh I love Holland. I have not been there for years. I hope to go again when Covid allows. I actually had my first tattoo in Schiedam at age 12 :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil:

@Ste You know what’s happening. Time to take evasive action at the right moment. By all means necessary indeed. Coming here before you give in just one of those means. Success!
