- Ms. Monkey and I have been together for 9 months today. The only way I have those 9 months with herā¦sobriety. I read relapse threadsā¦in the beginning relapse seems so damn easy. It seems like a fight to stay sober. For me it was a battle. Todayās 9 month anniversary is one of many reasons I am so happy I fought that fight in the beginning.
If you are facing a relapse, just know that if you fight through it and dont give inā¦you are giving yourself a great futureā¦probably one you cannot even imagine.

Good morning. Lots of folks racking up some SERIOUS numbers. I am joyfully on Day 60. There is no way I will not be crowing āI have Sixty Daysā tomorrow. I just feel good these days. I get a great deal out of this place. Just reading and relating several times a day. It is making a difference every single day.

Feeling as though I need to do more to help others. My job is truly rewarding in that department but I donāt need to be paid to make others feel good. I hope you all have a wonderful today. Keep shining

Day 326 clean and sober today. Registered for classes yesterday then went and talked to the director of the program. He said he hasnāt heard from the big boss yet so Iām going to back off for awhile and let things happen as they are meant to be in their own time. So proud of all of us doing this recovery thing together ODAAT. I really love you guys, have a kick ass day!!!

Aww, thanks L! I have been lurking occasionally for a little over a week. Posting very sparsely or in private. I will forever love this place and I am totally grateful for the path that TS set me on. But I have been leaning on my program, my HP and my sponsor a lot more lately and my life is full. It is paying dividends in so many areas of my life but Iām not sure if I will make Regular status with my inability to keep up with the forum.

@Complicatedmama Awesome job on the disposal and congratulations on placing an offer on a house.
@SoberWalker Happy to see you back Claudia and looking forward to your updates.
@Thirdmonkey Happy anniversary to you & Ms Monkey.
@MagicMama Congratulations on 4 months Maggie. Miss you lady 
@Mbwoman Congratulations on 60 days
@Bomdhil Congratulations on two weeks. Give yourself credit for where you are & continue fighting the good fight one day at a time.
@Licorice Congratulations on 3 weeks.
322 days. Hit a bit of a snag with our sitter and wonāt be starting my new job until tomorrow. It is what it is but Iād be lying if I said I wasnāt at least a lil disappointed. Online learning will start soon and I need to hop in the shower and reframe my mind. Awoke feeling irritated with no reason other than thoughts of the roommate. Iām determined to get through āthisā the best I can but will feel so much better once a date has been set for his residency here to end. My man had a ātalkā with him about his attitude toward me and the small talk that ensued yesterday was more annoying than anything. I havenāt experienced this desire of avoidance with someone since I was in elementary school and itās annoying as f*$k. I feel weak for having this desire and related feelings and may need to reach out for help to positively get myself through it.

I love this Tony. Very well put.
It is amazing how we will cut ourselves down. But we would go to bat and praise everyone else for even just a single day. I hope I can remember this if I see someone being negative about their days of sobriety. Every day is a freakin gift and an accomplishment.
Canāt wait to celebrate with you.

Congratulations on your first full day Kris.
I always have trouble thinking Iām not drinking permanently. To tell you the truth forever scares the shit out of me. All I know is Iām not drinking today! And Iām probably not drinking tomorrow. And thatās worked for me from day 1 to day 488. Iām glad you found this place too. Itās worked wonders for me.
