Just going to do a quick check in…thanks for all the support yesterday. I came here to apologize for posting while using and being a possible trigger. Me myself last night I wasn’t ok because I was panicking, but today im ok I’m not gonna beat myself up, I’m not gonna wallow in self pitty because I made those choices ain’t a damn thing I can do now but move forward. Kinda fucking funny how after I dumped that stuff, a hour or two later the unconscious little fucking demon was trying to get mad about it.
I can still feel the strength I had from my year, I can feel not all is lost and I’m gonna make sure I get it right and be right, I’m not gonna count my days this time because fuck I tell you that was alot of pressure living up to those 450 something days I had and once I blew it man it sucked. Today I’ll just stay sober, no more counting, no more pressure. Just sober for myself, my girls and my art. Much love

That sucks Fleur. Is there anything that you can do to fill your own soul. Art work, music, excersise?
Still wish I was closer to take you on high speed highway drives with loud tunes.

Checking in at the end of day 137.
Feeling a lot more even today, without feeling 100% solid just yet.
I used to look at people with 137 days and envy how easy it must be for them. Now that I am there, I understand what nonsense that was.
The countless simple messages on here about normal, everyday things are the things that keep me on the straight and narrow. I sometimes need a little reminder about how much better life is in every single way - and I get it regularly on here, so thank you one and all.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Checking in day 299.41 Can you believe it??
About to get my 3yr old daughter ready for gymnastics. Sitting through her gymnastics class is a cringeworthy experience. My daughter has her own agenda… I had to go pull her out of the foam pit 3 times last week because when the instructor isnt looking she will run and jump in, laughing hysterically. Gotta love her free spirit… 
Anyway, she has 4 classes left because I had to cancel them. She just wont listen, not like the other kids.
Soccer sounds like a better idea. I mean she loves balls and running away. Match made in heaven? Have a great day everyone, much love to you all! 
@RosaCanDo Hope you have the BEST time with your parents, so excited for you!!
@anon53116147 Love your new name, it’s TRUE you are powerful!! You can do this… ODAAT. (At least now you are reminded of how awful the anxiety and hangovers are… the worst!! Sobriety is soo much better.)

@RosaCanDo Enjoy your visit with your parents.
@Fury Love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely. Saying you’re not gonna get better doesn’t sound like the Chris I met on here months ago & IMO you’re lying to yourself.
@Truckinmonster21 Welcome back to double digits. Love hearing the changes in your perspective.
@Freckles You ARE NOT awful. You are human & like the rest of us here you’re an addict. Focus on staying sober today, one hour or even one minute at a time.
@Dazercat I’m with you Eric; FUCK BOOZE. Sending love and strength.
@Beforemy30s Congratulations on 5 weeks.
@Hopeful777 Finding ourselves in sobriety can be truly amazing. I’ve often said I didn’t lose anything in my active addiction but I did lose myself. Good on you for reaching out for help. I hope it allows you to better discover who you really are.
@Mno Looking forward to therapy is a gain and it makes me happy to hear you say it.
@Rockstar24777 New job??? What did I miss bro? PM me some details later and have an awesome first day.
@anon53116147 LOVE having you back checking in. Leave what happened behind and focus on putting your head on your pillow clean and sober tonight. ODAAT bro.
338 days. Had a tough one yesterday and my man helped me to escape in a healthy way by getting a babysitter while we went on a destination less drive. The beer bitch brain was in overdrive yesterday and I found myself questioning moderation and my ability to do so. Where the fuck these thoughts came from is beyond me as I don’t even want to attempt the path down what I’m sure would be an extremely slippery slope. I won’t drink because I don’t drink is like my personal mantra at the moment. It’s my day off today and it’s freezing rain atm with snow forecasted. Looking like a great day to curl up under a blanket and read. Need to complete a few small tasks & then believe I’ll be looking for some reading about instability prior to milestones. If anyone has suggestions I’d appreciate them. The beer bitch brain needs to fuck off as I’m so close to my one year I can taste it, through all the blood, sweat and tears.

I think the awareness is key. I dont want to make excuses. I want to reflect on these instances and say “oh, I see what happened there. I’ll be more careful in the future”. I’m glad you identified what might have happened so you can avoid recurrences, too.
