I’m back at it again. Almost through day 4. Yes I restarted yet again. I also keep getting logged out and Not able to recover my account for some reason so I had to make another profile. It’s still the same Briella though lol. I’ve been catching up on here and feeling super inspired. I think I made it to day 18, maybe, then I was back at it for no reason at all other than boredom. So that’s it I realized staying busy is a huge key to my sobriety. I’m continuing to work on myself and my health and popping pills really does not fit into that plan at all. Ending the evening sober and feeling great. Have a wonderful night’s rest everyone. :sleeping::grinning:

Congrats on your month of sobriety. I also had a big smile on my face while I read about you telling your friend your recovery success. It’s hard work, you have every right to feel happy and proud of yourself.

IKR :rofl::joy::laughing: I used to make grandiose plans after smoking up or drinking and never started working on them. It was all plans - always telling myself that I would start “tomorrow”. When I look back I feel sad that I wasted so many years and so many opportunities.

Day 339.
A good day. Wasn’t bothered by the bothering work stuff. Also, with this late-spring-turned-summer-in-a-hurry here, I notice I am really taking it all in. I have so much more bandwidth for it now that I’m not focused on when is it pour me a glass o’clock? or worse, why did i pour so much last night? Tonight, it was the rustling leaves, the smell of fresh growth, the warmth from the sun tempered by a cool rush of air from the forest - and my boiling rage at the appearance of so many mosquitos :laughing:
Ah well, I’ll take those damn bites over a hangover any day! Let’s swat the bugs away from our sober selves again tomorrow, yeah?
G’night friends. Big love to all. :orange_heart:

Always plenty going on in our worlds on any given day! Today is no different…

@Sanuk congrats on one month! and @Hazy on 60 days!

@Seb it’s so fun getting used to things going unusually well! Well put, friend - and congrats on your 19 days.

…and @Singtone on 5 whole months! I get it. I think as we get more comfortable with ourselves we get more comfortable with the focus. (EDIT: just saw your “stop” post - lol!) @Hailstrom put it really well re: champion at work (congrats on that too!)…

@anon83587935 305! I know, I know - it’s one day at a time… …but this’ll be the one year summer. Feels pretty amazing, hey? :wink:

@Rockstar24777 sooo glad you have some more support. :heart:

  1. Coffee, Early shift coming up. Want to go back to sleep because I had the craziest family dreams involving my grandparents, with me staying in their place and making a bit of a mess of it, my mum coming to pick me up from there in a Austin Mini (why was she driving a Mini I was and am asking myself).
    And later on my dad appeared who I met in a meeting at his old newspaper, where he was wheeled in in a bed, old and demented like he was in his last years. The first person coming in to greet him greeting him by my name, which in reality happened a number of times the other way around. His younger brother was there too, and my dad called for me to sit on the front row. Only one I didn’t dream about was my sister. So that’s I want to go back to sleep :sunglasses:. Coincidentally or not we talked a lot about our parents yesterday in therapy. Maybe next time I’ll speak about my sis? Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam. Pic is my dad’s maternal family. My grandmother is on the right.

    @Singtone & @Sanuk Huge congrats on your milestones friends!

Day 50!!!

I’m so thrilled to reach another significant number. I know I will get to 60 soon. And then 3 months. I won’t look much further yet, but I feel sure of myself as I’m continuing to work on it every day.

Still on holiday having the most amazing time exploring Scotland. Here is a picture of a beach we stumbled across yesterday with deer on :heart_eyes: (granted you have to zoom very close to see ha!)…
