Tell me about :grimacing:
You sound just like me. Except I had the booze where I worked so I didn’t have to wait to get off work.
Congrats on your 200 days again Tony.

I’ve been gyming for years mate but leg day can still go and fuck itself :joy:. Plus I climbed a mountain on Monday and played 18 holes of golf on Thursday, my legs are ruined! Have a good weekend buddy :raised_hands:t3:

I was thinking about you just now and wondering how your last day had gone. Didn’t realise that you were on the cusp of 100 days, too. :boom::muscle:t2:
Just own being sober when you get out there. People will be impressed. Particularly if you still get involved in all of the social stuff and don’t isolate yourself. Put yourself in their shoes. If someone else came into your world and didn’t drink, but was a good friend, a good colleague, and good fun, you’d think they were great. You’ve got an amazing opportunity to present yourself in whatever way you want to. Think it through and do it. Don’t forget that you’ve got that superpower of a clear head, and the fact that you can now trust yourself to do what you set out to do.
Hope it all goes well.

Oh my lord. Booze at work? How on earth did that work? That would have been the route to ruin for me.

Congratulations @Singtone on each single day! Wonderful and so happy for you that you have “seen the light” Yay!!

Restaurant business all my life.
I was one of those “functioning alcoholics” :scream:
Functioning my ass. It was so exhausting. I kinda wish Sober Me could go back and work side by side with Functioning Alcoholic Me. And smack me off the side of the head.

I guess while I’m here:
Checking in day 568.
I had a real nice sober day today. I think I’ll probably have another one tomorrow.

I understood myself only after I destroyed myself.
And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I really was.

Aw thank you @Singtone !! I thought of you on my last day! It certainly did feel emotional for me. Can’t imagine what it was like for you after 11 years. It’s such a hard job but but such an amazing job as well. Going to miss my kids and colleagues a lot.
Really excited for the next bit though and think I will love it, as you have. And you are totally right…I’m a good friend for a myriad of reasons, none of which revolve around drink so I need to remember that. Hope you’re enjoying your summer break!

I know what you mean. I can’t believe how much better I am at my job now that I don’t drink. I kind of wonder now where I might be had I gone through my career sober.
It’s my second biggest regret about the whole thing. My first is the time that I’ve wasted, but the second is that.
Third is the hit that my health has taken, and fourth is the cash I’ve wasted, if you’re interested. :joy:

First ever sober summer break is going great. Much better than I would have expected before I stopped drinking and felt the benefits.
Notice you didn’t say that you would miss the parents from your school. :wink: :joy:

@anon53116147 Congratulations!

@YeeYeeViking Congratulations! Great stuff!

@Luckyredz You are doing great too!

@apes2020 Brilliant!

@Singtone I hear you on the career. I wonder that too. But also getting sober has made me appreciate the slower life, and the smaller things, so maybe I wouldn’t actually have been leaning in that much, even if I had quit earlier. I sure as hell actually enjoy working now, rather than suffering through a class hungover.

I could not agree more with everything you’ve said here. I suspect that the universe has me in the right place. Thanks, Fleur.

All good after a great sleep, just having a coffee and thinking about busy week ahead.

Leaving two jobs Wed, doing highest and fastest zipwire in wales on Friday yikes! Moving my son back to uni Sunday, then a week camping with my dog cannot wait. Love the new feeling of looking forward to things for what they are. Not looking forward to events so i can drink , and losing every bit of value of the activity… sobriety has such benefits i am truly happy i am working this ODAAT.

No update on my background clearance expect that end of next week so fingers crossed a caution 16 years ago does not impact my job offer. My record is otherwise clean.

Wishing you all a strong, happy and sober Saturday.
