@Myssy that’s great, proud of you too
@Penguin took me 3 times too
@Bigbear don’t worry about it, we are all have to learn about community rules and expectations, it takes time, thank you for making the effort
@apes2020 getting out and making friends outside the people you usually use with is great!
Oh Rosa, I’m glad you came here to be honest too. It’s very hard to not let that turn into “well, while I’m here, better make it worth it” You did not do that. Did you feel it coming?
Ayyyy I hope people don’t think I’m a total weirdo for this, but I love looking at the “meaning” of repeating numbers.
Angel number 333 is a sign of significant growth in a positive direction, so have confidence in yourself moving forward that this is the best time to focus on thinking positively. … In fact, this number is a sign of balance, and it’s ok to laugh, let your hair down, be in the present moment, and have a little more fun!
Same!!! At the beginning the last few times I was the same way. I know exactly how you feel. I wouldn’t post a few days before or after because I didn’t want to get congratulated. I waited until I passed my longest stretch on this forum before posting a milestone. Glad your here. Glad you’re sober 
WOOOHOOOOO
Congrats on 400 days of continuous sobriety! Everyday is a miracle and four hundred miracles in a row… gives me goosebumps. Well done. 
Woooooooohoooooooo Laura!
I will say the same for you as I did for Harlod you are a miracle… It’s really incredible!
I am so happy for you, and what a beautiful charm. 
I haven’t been on TS much lately due to the amount I have been working. Just checking in at 112 days to say I hope everyone is doing wonderfully!
Talk to some of the woman on here they off coaching to help bridge the gap. Amazing people. Look up Hard Beauty foundation on Facebook.
I agree, Fleur. It was just something that I picked up on. They kept asking and asking about my sobriety (as people tend to do after a few drinks), and I kept trying to move the conversation on, but they kept coming back to it.
Maybe they weren’t uncomfortable, maybe they were interested. Maybe they have concerns of their own. 
Checking in, 8 months sober.
Always feel good everyday, but a new month is always a good feeling.
Good night everyone,
It also probably has something to do with people not being the best conversationalists after a few drinks!
Day 320.
Drove home today after my week in the city visiting Mom. Lots of physical distance and emotional territory covered these last 8 days. I won’t lie – parts of this week were a huge challenge (I don’t like loss of loved ones; this hardly makes me unique). I haven’t historically dealt with this sober.
But – you know what? I set my intentions: see Mom, take care of self and sobriety (read lots but posted little), keep work afloat. F*ck the rest (inbox abandonment galore, etc.)
The drive home was good. Gave me time to think. The summer will be good. Work has agreed to my request for a demotion (for real! start the trek into semi-retirement soon!). Will plant my wee patio garden next weekend. A new, somewhat more intense writing course starts Mon – and ends on July 25. And by then – I will be M-be-free 51 years old and just over a year sober!
The good and the hard and the sad and the beautiful. Bring it all on. I can take it when I’m sober. And I would not be sober without you fine friends. Grateful for you. Grateful we get to do this again tomorrow.
G’night sweet sober pals. 
Got out of the city last night for a short hike. Shared the trail with white-tailed friend below… 
I missed a quadrillion milestones! But whoa - we’re on fire!
@Charlie_C you just keep getting better at getting better! Congrats on 180-something by now!
@Nordique 11 months! And @Rockstar24777 and @Sunny11 too!
Yay @Beachy on 6 months! And @FeelingBetter too!
I’m forgetting some, a lot. Let’s just celebrate every single sober day, layer-cake-style.
Checking in on Day 31. 6.13am on a Sunday. Totally hangover free and well rested. That is something to celebrate.
Seeing family for a walk today then wild swimming tonight. Work and prepping for the week inbetween those activities, probably with some sobriety podcasts as I haven’t had time the last couple of days. I’m so grateful for the life I have. 31 days of actively trying to appreciate it has had such an impact. Have lovely days, all!
What if you were to word it like… " How have you been feeling lately? " or " has this pandemic affected you in some ways you might need to talk about?"
We all know that using was our solution to our problems, so maybe if you found out what his “problem” was you might be able to help with that? I don’t know… 
Thank you, you made me blush
I think this would be a good way to open the conversation for sure. Try and get him talking and go from there. He must be stressed even if he doesn’t mention it. He has 2 toddlers and is super busy with work. No doubt that is having a significant impact of the situation.
Since I got sober the subject has definitely become the elephant in the room with a couple of my friends, this being one of them. They don’t like to talk about it as it hits a little to close to home. It’s going to be a challenge pushing through that I think.
