Day 929. Just got my first Moderna shot and waiting 30 min. Feels a bit like very important and dangerous with all the precautions set up here.
Now a long weekend ahead, hopefully the weather will brighten up a little.

I wish everyone a sober and good Friday!

Checking in at the end of day 138.
Spent a lovely afternoon/evening with my four beautiful kids and my lovely wife today. Much better than going straight to the pub, getting out of shape and feeling lousy/forgetting the entire thing.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

Need to check in. Figured writing it out and getting feed back from my sober family will be good. I’m just shy of 11 months almost a year sober !! (Whoot whoot) but these warm days and being out side r hitting me hard and I’ve been craving missing drinking (blaming the weather of course that’s the problem :roll_eyes::woman_facepalming:) I know I’m strong enough to not pick up a drink but the mood swings I’m getting bc of the control and not being able to are bad!! That’s where I need help so any advice ?!

Congratulations on your 11 months. What do you expect from that drink in the warm sun? What will it give you an alcohol free drink and a subsequent hangover free morning after won’t give you?

@Dazercat I’m glad the dental experience wasn’t as bad as the pre-emptive thoughts, I’ve had root canal too and had to go back 4 times til it was done. That’s so cool that he’s sober too :blush:

284 days no alcohol.
252 days no cocaine.
1 week no binge-eating.

Depression has taken over again. It feels so heavy and my mind is replaying loads of awful memories, the nightmares still continue and I’m sure those aren’t helping. I just feel completely worthless. Have got an urge to binge today but going to eat dinner now and hope that helps it pass.

That is so me, have a good reason to be miffed or angry but deal with things in temper which loses the message and I look like a prat. And always regret… something I am working on… hope you get stuff resolved. No solid advice I know, but just to let you know your not on your own!

Same sort of thing happened to me today. The old me showing up, messing up stuff. It didn’t make me crave but it did make me feel lost and alone and like nothing’s ever going to change. In a bizarre twist of f*cked up thinking I feel jealous of people getting the urge to drink… I can’t explain because I do not quite understand. Maybe I’m feeling that people craving still think there’s an escape from it all, while I feel there’s no way out in moments like this. Now trying to follow the best advice I ever got which is don’t try to do it alone. I’m here. I’m not alone. The feeling will pass. Thanks for being here.

610 Days. I got a stomach virus and it’s taken 2 days to start feeling better. I’m feeling bad for my daughter. She couldn’t go to her program because I was too sick to get her ready and make her lunch. My work is really far behind so I tried to at least answer some emails and finalize a project from home. Unfortunately, a few important meetings had to be rescheduled for next week. Thankfully, I’m now able to keep water down and rehydrating. I haven’t slept this much since my early days of sobriety.

Oh man, lady! Feel better. Stomach bugs suck, but usually short lived. Hang in there!

Day 6: Feeling a big sigh of relief after the initial anxious energy waiting for my folks to get here. So super grateful to have them here. It feels a bit surreal I haven’t seen them in 16 months and it’s like no time has passed, and yet so much has happened. They’ve both said individually how well I look, and that feels really good. So glad to be sober today.
