Day 6 check in. I’m feeling a lot more like myself, anxiety has passed, although I’m a little achy, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. We have a week long family trip starting tomorrow, wish me luck, hoping for a smooth 6 hr drive with a 6 year old and our husky:heart:

17 days alcohol-free, I saved a hundred euros by now. That’s about 13 liters of wine. Today my son and I are going to visit my old auntie. She is the last of her siblings. Haven’t seen her for 2 years. Looking forward to this day.
Hope everyone is doing Allright! Wishing you the best for today.
Love from Amsterdam

I love journalling but my hand begins to seriously cramp up after half a page!!! I guess it comes with practice… Reading this has motivated me to keep it up today and power through!

The morning of day 9. I’m checking in this morning to remind me to stay sober today. I’m working tonight in the taxi so as long as I don’t sack it off to get drunk, today is a given. Tomorrow is a risk day. I’m getting that it pays to isolate and prepare for risk days. That way, I can get out in front and dismantle my addict brain before it has a chance to play its tricks. I’m feeling ridiculously confident and I’ve warned myself from thousands of instances of “the beer wolf” telling me bullshit to keep drinking (also had stern warnings from others) to make sure I keep doing the work.
Aiming for 14 days which will be my longest stretch. Then after that, I need to maintain the checkins, maintain the communication with my wife and best mate, maintain the journalling and start the SMART meetings. I can’t afford to go back again, I feel if I can’t do it this time when I feel this confident and positive, then I never ever can…and that is a scary thought. Treating alcohol like a nut allergy is a good mental strategy for me at the moment I think. Then slowly slowly start doing emotional work

I’ve just woke up and the only thing I care about on here is the 8 hours 42 minutes bc that’s how long I’ve been sober today and that’s the miracle, 8 months has been and gone it won’t keep me sober today. Congrats on your sober days, Any twat can get 10 or 20 years even an idiot can manage 5 years but how the hell does anybody get to the end of the first week.

- Got to work an hour early. After pulling a double yesterday, my body is ready for a nap. Today my bottom hitting Assitant Manager is coming in to talk. Everything wrong in her life isnt her fault. I am prepared for her. While I cannot control her actions, I am reminding myself I can control mine.

Morning, all! With the nice weather, work and life have been crazy busy so apologies for not checking in more regularly. Had to make a point to pop in today, though, as today is Day 500 for me!!!
It is amazing to think that 16+ months ago I was so low, so desperate, so ready to give up permanently. But thanks to the great friends and loving support of so many here, today I woke up sober for the 500th consecutive day!
I have learned so much in that time, so much about myself, so much about how I can choose to respond to life in a healthy & positive way. I wouldn’t be here but for all of you, so thank you!! Here’s to another day sober!! ODAAT!!!

Day 343 clean and sober today. Been struggling with my mental health for about a week now, the depression is suffocating me. Made it through work yesterday but could barely walk afterwards because of my back. Going back to work today and then I’m off for the weekend. Have a great day everyone, love you guys
