Checking in on day 35ā¦
Today I went out for lunch with my wife, brother and his partner. I had two cokes and sat and watched him drink two largers 
I just got back from the pub watching football. Everyone was drinking apart from me. It did feel a bit awkward and it would of been too easy to cave in, but I didnāt 
I was people watching though and felt a bit sorry for some of them!!
Have a good weekend folks.

327 days no alcohol.
295 days no cocaine.
21 days no binge-eating.
This morning began quite sadly, with the news that on Thursday, during surgery to remove a blockage from his intestine, my cousinās dog died, he was only two. Thereās a bit of a backstory why itās extra heart-breaking, because itās the same cousin whoās 6 year old daughter died from a neurodegenerative disease that slowly and painfully took all her abilities away from age 2. They have a son who is now 7, their daughter would have been 11 last month, they canāt have anymore children because thereās a 50/50 chance of them having the same terminal disease, so they welcomed a puppy into their family and he gave them so much joy, I really am heart-broken for them.
I then saw my auntie and uncle, who are the parents of that cousin, we met at a garden centre, I had already eaten lunch so I had a slice of cake while they ate theirs, it was lovely and now I donāt feel any urge to binge tomorrow. I also bought 6 new plant pots, some plant foods, and 2 massive bags of compost. So Iām looking forward to the repotting tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is my birthday, Iām really looking forward to spending it sober, this will be the first time since I was 11, I am turning 34 tomorrow. I am repotting my plants in the morning, then gym and swimming at lunchtime, then glow in the dark crazy golf in the evening, which Iām excited about, itās new to the area and itās space themed 
. Will hopefully see my brother and his little family too. My dad messaged to ask what I was doing Monday, so I replied but then didnāt hear back from him.
Really glad I made it to gym and swimming today, I didnāt know how much I needed it til the endorphins hit afterwards, the pool was a bit cooler today too, very refreshing
I hope youāre all having enjoyable weekends

Feeling good today. No urges or cravings or triggers recently so Iām doing good. But Iām definetly in the wall stage. As long as I stay busy il be all good

Hey Jenna,
Itās gonna be hard, when you grown to learn to love a community make friends and a sense of belonging.
Itās like if I am having a bad day I could roll into a AA meeting in person or online and rant it out, yeah those people can be supportive, but they donāt know me like you guys do. I can pop in here and someone I know is gonna wanna help, I created bonds, friendships and respect for members here,
And like you said itās like building a real life spreading your wings and leaving the nest, as new opportunities rise, the old ones get replaced, nothing wrong with that but that comfort feeling is what your missing until it comes elsewhere I do wish you the best in your journey and you know your welcome here anytime

Needed to check in on day 115. It was just a shitty hard day. Holidays only amplify my loneliness and the damage done over the last several years. Really hard day for me and Iām sure others. Grateful to be going to bed sober. Grateful for this community.

Checking in on day 22. Ran through a gauntlet of temptation with coolers full of beer and tons of liquor. Held my sparkling water tight. Swam with all the kids here and got a sunburn. I am so glad to be going to bed sober. One more day left of this trial. Hope everyone is doing well.
