Day 735 no alcohol
Reset day 1 no cigs
Lasted half a day yesterday before I caved and bought more cigarettes. Then I spent the rest of the day shitty with myself. So I’m trying again today. I just get filled with so much anger in the first few days of quitting. Like this rage builds up inside of me, it scares me because it’s so intense I’m scared what I’ll do if something or someone tests me… any suggestions that have worked for others or if they’ve felt this too when quitting smoking? I’m not interested in cutting down or vaping as an alternative. I’ve got loads of ideas to keep me busy and have lozenges when the cravings get really bad but it’s just this anger

Way to go M!! Congratulations on 11 months!!
As usual, I’m a day late and a dollar short. I’m sure the cake is all gone by now so I’ll settle for the crumbs. Anyway, you’re doing amazing my friend.

Checking in at 1 month 22 days. Had some very alcohol positive thoughts last weekend, but doing better this week. I just remind myself that the negatives far outweigh the positives, that basically I end up feeling sick and what’s the point of that. Sometimes the pro- drinking cultural messages we’re surrounded by are overwhelming. I struggle with the symbolism of drinking as a form of freedom, of letting go. A change in consciousness, which it is, but in the end, not for the good. If I drink, I’ll fall back into negotiating with myself about doing it again and when. All dumb and pointless. I don’t want to get into that pattern. There will be positive thoughts about drinking and I’ll just observe them and let them go and they’ll pass.

Feeling tired after yesterday, but no hangover, first time in 30 years! So happy with that…
Busy day ahead, lots of visits which I enjoy, and out for dinner this eve…
Noticed my eating habits have declined since I got sober too much sugar in every form, so tackling that, as I do t think it’s helping my energy levels… and need to get to gym more by organising my time better… I always feel like I chasing my tail.
Stay safe and sober and have a good day

Yesterday I wrote about the inappropriate private messages I’ve got here. Glad to mention the moderators has done something about them. Do you get them too? If you click on the little flag button beneath that message (push the 3 dots to see it) you can report it to the moderators. Let’s silence those who are here with other intentions.

Root canal 
Other than that not much else today.
It doesn’t hurt much. So I’m good. Just have to finish up at the dentist Monday. Hopefully he can just fill it and not have to make a new crown. No doctors the rest of the week. Yay!!
Shitty Day?
Yep.
Still clean and sober?
Yep!
You Win!

Checking in on day 11. Time is flying by. I try to make it easier, not not drink alcohol: 1. I don’t have any alcohol at home.
2. Told my boyfriend that I don’t drink alcohol anymore.
3. Avoid my favorite supermarket where I am used to buy the alcohol.
4. Have some NA drinks at home.
5. Try to eat well and healthy, exceptions allowed 
6. Go by bike wherever I can.
7. Try to be busy by cleaning the house, the garden, etc
8. I was thinking to write a list for what I can do if I feel bored or lonely (I am living alone, kids are adult, boyfriend is living a 2,5 hours drive away).
9. I always say “yes” if anybody wants to meet me or to any other possibility to go out of the house.
And very important: 10. Checking in here

Morning everyone! Day 116 for me . I’ve been having councelling every 2 weeks and he signed me off yesterday which was great . He said he would miss talking to me but I got this ! My biggest enemy now is complacency so told me to keep putting the work in - educating myself , starting new habits and goals and also just as important coming on here to share and see you guys stories .
Anyway - 4 months this weekend which is good , I still get the occasional -‘ I miss drinking ‘ but then I remember one would never be enough and where it would lead to.
Anyway happy to say I’ve been signed off , hope everyone is doing good today

So yesterday while giving a friend a piggy back, my daughter tripped, and as her hands were holding her friend’s legs there was nothing to break her fall and she faceplanted into the playground. Luckily she didn’t break her nose or get black eyes, but she has a hell of a bump on her forehead and it was serious enough the teacher brought her home (it happened at home time and we live very close to the school). And luckily I am now sober so that unexpected visits from teachers are not a problem. Yesterday was my day off, so a year ago, it was my ‘get drunk in the morning, with the plan to sober up in the afternoon, but of course fail and probably pass out’ day. That didn’t happen every week, but so glad I am not Russian roulette mummy anymore.
