It’s still up at 24.00 too if it’s a clear day. It stays like this until midsummer (The end of June) and after that it slowly turns darker again. The darkness usually peaks in December when we have as a maximum 3h of daylight. On the cloudy December days it never really becomes light at all. So I’m soaking all this light in when I can :blush:

Day 2. Feeling wary given my latest relapse. I basically realise I never have it in the bag…ever but that I need to remain vigilant… maybe forever…

I’ve booked up some initial chats with some councillors and have started to read and work through my new book recommended by Chris, Homecoming about healing the inner child. I am also attending my first ever meeting with SMART next week. Back again tomorrow

Annoyed, over-compensating, but sober.

I’m not sure what it was that almost tipped me over the edge today but I was soooooo close to having a ‘fuck it I’m having a drink’ moment…I distracted myself with tonnes of paperwork :woman_facepalming: Day 92, bring on 100

I’m glad you got yourself through it. Good job. Nowdays I’m trying to change my “F-it, I’m getting drunk, to F-it I’m done with this shit” somedays are bad days even if you’re sober. But as long as you’re getting trough without drinking there’s new days waiting for you, and not all of them will bw bad.

Newcomers - Please listen to others with long term sobriety, don’t reject anything without prior investigation, don’t think your the one who is different, do swallow some pride and do expect to put a bit of effort in.
Sobriety is a beautiful thing, it’s a freedom you owe yourself.
Make today mean something.

Day 1,305.

This is for my American friends:

You don’t need to drink or drug to enjoy this Holiday. If you don’t have anything to do call your local Veterans group and see if you can volunteer. Boredom and loneliness is not an excuse to drink.

Aww… Beautiful, this is just great and your boys deserve this. I’ll have to steal this Yes Day idea.
Blessings and sobriety!
