Checking out.
1.5 years and a day.
Kind of an emotional day for me today. But it was a good thing. I’m very blessed and very thankful I’ve made it a year and a half AF . Thanks for y’all’s support and praise.
The good news is we get our feelings back. The bad news is we get our feelings back. #Recoveryposse

I love a good success story. Great job, you’re batting 2 for 2. Hold on to that sparkling water. I can’t wait to read the 3rd chapter tomorrow on how you kicked ass. And then the 4th chapter about how proud you’re going to be.

Sometimes I think this whole sobriety business is kinda lonely. Even though I have my wife of 100 years and I got all you guys as friends here at TS. Sorry you had a shitty day. But you win going to bed sober. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. At least there won’t be shame and regret. We can all be grateful for that. We are here for ya.
Day 80.
I didn’t drink at dinner or the theatre.and I actually didn’t want to!
The restaurant had vouchers for a free cocktail when you arrived there…I asked to use it on a non alcoholic one and they wouldn’t let me. I argued my case a bit but then decided it wasn’t worth the argument. Just rolled my eyes and got on with enjoying my dinner. Loved the play. Loved waking up this morning hangover free and better off financially on day 80! X
Day 369 just ended, on to Day 370!
What am I still doing up?
Tonight was like a throwback to when I’d be playing outside and get called in: C’mon Mom, I’ll come in when the streetlights turn on. (Streetlights turn on.) But, it’s not even dark! Just 10 more mins. (10 mins later.) But we’re gonna watch the stars! Please?
Oh well, I’ll take that over a night of refilling my wine glass, any day.
Proud of all of you socializing sober souls. You’re writing good chapters in your stories! And I love reading them.
Time for me to put this day to bed. Until tomorrow, when we do another. Just like that.
G’night, friends. Big huge love to all.
Happy birthday @CATMANCAM , hope you enjoy the space golf! Sounds nice! Never done it myself.
@apes2020 every time when I see your pictures with the birds on your window I’m thinking: all that poop! Lovely birds though
Yes, just another day sober @anon53116147 but also double digits! Well done Mike!
Good for you @Ooooops Shut that voice down, it’s always lying! Well done! 2 weeks in your pocket!!
Day 1019
A bit emotional still. It was a difficult week and I’m still processing it. Glad to have my family around alive and healthy. Having one of them in hospital made me realize how vulnerable we all are. In one second life can be totally different.
So I count my blessings today
This really makes me sick. They are just profiteering from addiction. They know that if you have one alcoholic drink, you will probably have more - because that’s how it works. They can then stiff you on the price of your next fix. Scum bags. They are just legitimised dealers. I hate it all. There’s nothing in it for them to give you a free soft drink. And whilst I’m here, why are non-alcoholic drinks called ‘soft’ drinks? Just another silent denigration of sobriety.
Didn’t realise how ranty I was until I started typing. I’m going for a pint of water.
Morning all! Checking in, day 4. Went out last night, took a few alcohol free beers and noone said anything (not sure they noticed) and I had a nice time. I did notice how little they were drinking, just sipping their drinks really slowly. If I had been drinking I would have drank before I left my house and it would have driven me mad how slowly everyone was drinking, I’d have wanted to pound the drinks!
I agree. I think if I had booked the place myself or was on my.own I would have left. But it was a fancy place booked by a friend for this trip away so I made a few comments…was very exasperated and then tried to dismiss it. Like it wouldn’t have been easier for them to give me some pineapple juice with a garnish in it and just move on?! If anything my annoyance made me want to drink less at least.
Anyway, at least I didn’t drink wine and cocktails as I would have if I was drinking. Much cheaper and less money into their pocket.
Day 1 again. Trying not to beat myself up. But also memorizing how bad this feels so I can reflect on it next time I’m tempted. I’m really disappointed for myself.
Mornin all checking in on day 9, nothing exciting to report I’m enjoying having an uneventful life atm no drama no chaos no using so I’m more than OK with uneventful. Have a blessed sunday🎉
@Misokatsu You are doing so amazing. It’s so awesome for me to come back and see how many days you have under your belt and how you’re working on healthier emotional habits. @CATMANCAM Happy birthday! The day you have planned sounds really awesome! I hope its an amazing day for you. @apes2020 Is that your bird or has the bird just adopted you? Great pictures! @SoberWalker Your furry friend is adorable. I love tabbies so much.
and I got all you guys as friends here at TS. Sorry you had a shitty day. But you win going to bed sober. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. At least there won’t be shame and regret. We can all be grateful for that. We are here for ya. 
Lovely birds though
