Checking in on day 24 
some days are good. some days not so. But all in all everything is so much better with a clear head. This week I went twice for jogging. 20 km in total. After my body cleaning i really want to stay fit. No excessive Belly fat anymore. If I feel good everything is easier. Wishing everyone a great weekend

Isn’t that the truth!
And I always feel calmer and less reactive.
Great job on 24 days.

Checking in at the end of day 132.
Had a lovely evening with some friends and my wife. Went out for dinner. Everyone else drank, which was fine. I think our friends got a bit self conscious about my not drinking by the end of the evening. Such is life.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Day 0: Sad to report I am restarting my counter after deciding to drink a beer shandy with breakfast. It had nothing to do with anyone else, my decision and I own it. I told a bunch of people a couple hours later, first my sponsor, and then had a good long talk with my husband that helped me. Ready to get back on and honestly feeling good. Not going to slip into anything deeper. Here I go, sober head on my pillow tonight! Glad I can come here and be honest.

@Luckyredz congrats on 80 days maybe it’s not a coincidence that you’re struggling whilst not attending meetings. From the meetings I’ve attended the only requirement to attend is a desire to stop using, and you must have that else you wouldn’t be here.
@Bomdhil congrats on your week
@Its_me_Stella ‘our scars are our survival stories’ 
(a quote that sticks with me.)
@Deadman congrats on 950 days
@Beforemy30s congrats on 30 days
@RosaCanDo congrats on 250 days and your anniversary 
@Harold congrats on 400 days
@MrsOdh I’m so glad things are looking a bit more hopeful for you 
@littlemisschatterbox congrats on 600 days
278 days no alcohol.
246 days no cocaine.
I had the beans on toast for breakfast, I still craved the yum yums an hour after 
but managed to resist. Have eaten every 3 hours as instructed but also ate 2 ice creams with lunch so felt bad about that. I feel way more hungry than I usually do even though I’ve eaten more frequently, but maybe that’s my metabolism kicking back into gear, I’m curious to see if this continues as my body adjusts to the new pattern, I already fear if it does that the therapist will say I can’t have the meal replacement products for my 3 daily snacks, and rather I have to eat something more substantial, but I’ll do as she says if that is the case.
I am really looking forward to collecting my glasses tomorrow, I’ve lost count of how many migraines I’ve had recently and I’m hoping they will really help with that, especially since I need to wear them all the time now, which will take some getting used to but I’m all for it 
My dad called me today and it left me feeling really rejected, he asked how I was so I told him I’ve had my car repaired, and have started therapy for the ED, and it seemed like he didn’t want to know and couldn’t wait to get off the phone. Reinforces my feelings of worthlessness somewhat.
I’ve got my next appointment with the Podiatrist on 9th June so really hoping he can do something more to help. I’ve spent a few hours on the ‘inspring photos of nature’ thread this afternoon, and it’s really made me want to be outside more.
I hope you’re all having nice weekends so far

Hi Everyone! On my 27th sober day I made dinner early (spicy chicken, corn and rice) and we went to the cinema with the kids. I truly love this new life.

@Charlie_C Congratulations on 6 months. I have enjoyed watching your hard work and growth.
@Bigbear I love the window analogy. One of my favorites and important to remember is “there’s a reason the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror. where you’re headed is more important than what you’ve left behind.”
@Nordique Congratulations on 11 months. Coming in a couple days behind you, I’ve enjoyed watching you lead the way. We’re doing it and we’re kicking ass.
@Its_me_Stella Your scars are a part of you, part of your battle. You are a warrior and fighting the good fight every day. I pray your shame subsides and you see the strong beautiful woman you are.
@Tomek LOVE hearing this. I believe in you.
@zzz Enjoy and embrace your gifts. One day at a time you’ve got this.
@Clarity Sending love and strength 
@littlemisschatterbox Congratulations on 600 days. Your shares and support given here are appreciated more than you know.

@CATMANCAM View your Dad’s words and actions as a reflection of him and not of you. You are worthy and you are doing awesome.
333 days. It has been an emotional week and I’m drained. Just when I thought I couldn’t handle anymore I discovered a new drawing of my stepdaughters and my heart is hurting. I won’t drink because I don’t drink but I need a fucking break. It’s one of those days and I need an emotional release. Thinking I’m going to crawl back into bed for a bit and then go for a solo drive to scream from the top of the hillside.

Thank you so much!! It’s been great being on this journey with you and I’m so excited for what the sober future has to hold.

I was surprised to read about a new drawing from your stepdaughter. It seemed like your relationship was doing so well and all the quality time you’ve had together was significant progress. I can imagine how hurtful it must have been to find it. Teenagers can be so mean, ungrateful and selfish at times. Hopefully, this behavior won’t continue and you can get back the respect you deserve. Sending you big hugs @Squirt.
Congrats on 333 days! Love that number!

@Harold big congratulations! .
@littlemisschatterbox fantastic stuff!
@Singtone people’s reations are not our problem, we gotta stay in our own lane
@zzz alcohol definitely affects the immune system, and then the drinking lifestyle leads to poor eating and lack of sleep and exercise. I know I have had fewer coldsores since quitting.
@Squirt hugs. Absolutely, release those emotions in a healthy way.

Beautifully said!! Breathtaking really. Today I lit some candles and opened the window to let the light in. Grateful to not have a hang over!
