Checking in on day 30 - Milestones used to mean so much to me, but this is my third real attempt to get sober, so I don’t get that excited anymore. I want to stay sober and build a life where I don’t feel the need to slowly kill myself, that’s why I feel 30 days is not that important in the grand scheme of things. Telling a friend, asking for help, trying to get into therapy are the things I tend to feel more proud about.
Sugar cravings are insane and my emotions are all over the place, but I’ll be here one day at a time. Hope everyone is having a good day🌻

@RosaCanDo kudos for being honest and for getting right back to us! Being honest with myself and others is one of the things I struggle with the most, so I admire you for that! You did good! :raised_hands:

Sorry I just got a prompt from the admin that I need to do these messages all at once not in separate posts. Will do next time.
Thought of not posting this since I’d upset the system but then I got in an anxious muddle and thought well I’m supposed to post it… so I’m posting it anyway.
I am struggling. I’m ok, I’m not tempted to drink, but my mood is all over the place.
But I’m still sober.
Thanks everyone

Thank you, Penguin. You get it. I’m glad. I’m so tempted to not count my days this time (let the counter do it) so I can focus on each day. I’m proud of you for the things you’re proud of, and I can relate to that, too.

“I don’t really need anything Dad, I have you and chocolate”.

Sobriety my friends. It’s fucking bliss.

Day 20.
7.12am
Sunday.
8 degrees.

Outta my teens :joy: its Sunday, my favourite day :tada: coffee in bed with the papers. Scrambled eggs. Going for a walk to my local coffee place to get Sunday morning coffee and people watch all the jolly Sunday folk out in the active wear and groups of bike riders who congregate in there funny cycling outfits after there weekend long rides. All the puppies and mums with babies. Sunday is a joyous morning out there, everyone is always in a good mood :tada:

So I’ve decided to start going back to church properly every Sunday. The one I use to go to went online because of covid, now that things are back to normal here, its back in full swing again so il return today for the first time in 15 months. Its a really fun church. There is a concert like vibe. The music is really good. Its full of young , good looking humans lol :joy:, and I always leave there in the best mood. The energy in me shifts to a new level. Also Its a great place to meet new people. Now that I’m back out there in the real world, I’m not far of from being about to make new friends, with good humans. Ones that lift me up and inspire me and are doing great things in life.

The one thing I have learnt these past 15 months being alone is that I will no longer lower my standards in life. With people I allow in my life. Or just what I except as OK in my life. I now know my own worth and self value and I will not allow myself to except any less than what I deserve. I am going to keep my standards and have the life I deserve :hugs:

Yes, I think this is a good idea. Explaining what its like from my point of view might help. I went for a long walk earlier and thought it through and I will say something. Not sure when yet. Thanks for the help :+1:
