I would like to publicly apologize to @Olivia as a month back I posted a shirtless picture without thinking. It was rightfully flagged and hidden, but that does not excuse me posting it in the first place. I sincerely apologize and will make sure I do not post any more moving forward,
Day 1,302.
Hello Derek, I accept your apology. Thank you for your consideration, I really appreciate it. It’s all good and I wish you all the best.
You, ma’am, are a bonafide CHAMPION!
That is AMAZING!!! Congratulations!! 
As for me, today I’m checking in on day 348. Another productive sober week coming to a close and I’m looking forward to the weekend.
It’s so nice to finally be excited for the weekends again. When I first started out (like first few weeks/months) I always was so anxious about the weekend as many of us addicts can be. I feel that’s especially true for alcoholics over people with other DOCs, but maybe I’m wrong. There’s such a stigma placed on the weekend being a time for drinking and “letting loose”, etc…when it’s really just another couple of days.
So for those of you just starting out, although I’m still a baby in sobriety too, I just want to say that it does get easier (although it’s never easy). You will find a new sober way of living that’s better than active addiction; you just have to stick with it.
Happy Friday everybody 
Boom! There it is! Huge Congratulations, Beth!
I love the fact that I got to witness your amazing transformation. You’re a beautiful person inside and out and I’m happy to call you my friend. Love you! 
Thank you @SoberWalker and to everyone else for your support. Day 350 clean and sober today, wow that’s crazy! 15 days away from a year sober and I can’t believe it. I’m off to work and I hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys!!! 
Ahhh my beautiful friend, I am SO happy to be back to see this!!! Wowee what a rollercoaster ride it’s been so far on TS hey and seriously you are an absolute inspiration and also probably the cutest and most lovable cockroach I have met 
I know it’s the last season 
well after all that waiting, I only got through one episode 
kids must of sensed my plan because they WOULD NOT settle tonight and now it’s late and I’m knackered and I’m getting old, boring and sensible so am now heading off to bed
We don’t see eye to eye often but I assure I have been waiting for this day for a long time!
Happy re-birthday, Beth! One year of sobriety! I hope you enjoy your day.
Day 179.
Its been a while since i last checked in. Life is going in the good direction. Im about to go away for the weekend with friends that do drink, but i have already been with these guys alot of times since i have gotten sober and they support me massivly.
I still do feel a bit nervous though which i guess normal.
The weather is great here in the netherlands, going to be enjoying that alot.
I hope you all have a great weekend too.
Without you people i wouldnt have been able to get this far, you rock!
Stay sober,
Bart
Glad to hear it April thank you, and reading this gives me strength. I have had therapy before and have been to meetings, but never fully immersed myself in it. I think I need to be fully immersed in it so the thoughts cannot creep back in, otherwise my wicked brain will convince myself that I do want to do it… and I really don’t, I can’t let myself forget about how I feel now. I’ve recorded a video of myself in my worst state from a couple of days ago, and I’ve written a list of reasons to stay sober which I’m going to read everyday also. I am so keen to be rid of this disease. It’s so mad that if you let the work slip just a little it consumes you. Not going to happen again.
@Beforemy30s Enjoy your trip and stick to your plan(s). You don’t need luck because you have desire and determination.
@Mno Enjoy your “true weekend off.”
@SoberWalker Congratulations on employee of the month and riding out the mixed emotions.
@Hailstrom Hope you have a relaxing, peaceful weekend.
@Girlinterrupted Massive congratulations on 1 year Beth. Keep fighting the good fight cuz you’re doing amazing.
@Mephistopheles Awesome numbers.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS
346 days. Having mixed emotions about the roommate. It’s like he’s overcompensating for his rudeness and now feeling like he’s kissing my ass. Came home Wednesday to have him have bought us all bingo cards and made supper. It was like I couldn’t even enjoy it or be thankful as it felt fake and forced. Does this make me a bad person? With all the shit he’s pulled am I supposed to act like none of it happened? I know forgiving him is better for me but I’m still struggling and I’m focusing on my deadline for him to move out.
Day 271
So now they’re going to place tweenie in her old foster care home.
Social service is pure idiots.
That’s all I have to say about that.
@Girlinterrupted, major congrats to you. I always enjoy your posts, and I have appreciated you sharing your journey with us. Well done.
Wow CONGRATULATIONS!!! Well done!!! These types of milestones inspire and motivate me!
