What an ass, jeez
Checking in at the end of day 180.
180 feels like a substantial number. Iām happy with that.
Today is Golden Friday. The best day of the year for anyone in education. The start of a 7 week holiday.
It is compromised this year by the fact that we canāt travel and that Singapore is in partial lockdown, but it is still great.
It provides a big challenge to sobriety though. Iāve felt it today.
Still, Iām going to bed sober, so things have started well.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
Lmao @Girlinterrupted you crack me up!!! I have to admit Iām officially addicted to the meme thread, I might have to add it to my daily counter lol. I freaking love it, everyone is so freaking funny!!!
Anyway, day 385 clean and sober today. Showed up on the job site at 6:00am and after an hour the Superintendent kicked us loose for the rest of the day with pay!!! I was sooooo tired from the new sleep medicine that they put me on that I almost called off work today but I told my brain to stfu lol and went anyway. What a pleasant surprise. It reminds of I think an old AA/NA sayingā¦ āsuit up and show up, God will do the restā. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, I really love you guys a lot!!!
Nice job Joe!!! HAHAHAHA
Girl, you got this! I got you!!
Plus itās super fun to people watch haha. I realized when I started people watching that sure, some people got hammered, but most didnāt. It was just me. I thought I was keeping up with everyone lol. Ah, the drunken mind is a joke yo!
Day 338
Not excited for this weekend. Not a fan of being around groups of drunk people as it is, even more so when they are playing with fireworks.
@icebear Im also getting out for a long morning bike. Be safe out there! Iām already seeing way too many people posting on social media that they have begun day drinking.
Saw this on IG this morning between all the nonsense:
Iām proud of you Beth
YOU my friend are the first to catch on. I was not prepared for this moment. I have no award to show my gratitude and appreciation. But you won the invisible award!!
Lmao YAY ME !!!
You had me really fucking confused a while ago. I thought I had mixed you up with someone else called Beth, until I saw someone else call you Beth
Youāre so right! I mean I do have a lot of heavy drinkers in my familyā¦ slurring, falling, and nodding off is not unusual - itās part of what made me think my drinking was normal for so long. But also many that will come and not drink, or just have 1 or 2 throughout the whole afternoon. Iāll be super busy cooking and playing games but will definitely be checking in throughout the day. I appreciate you!
I have to wait 5 days and Iāll have a new one. Itās what it is. In fact losing it is a blessing in disguise, as today might have been the best day of the year for a bike ride to the beach. Around 20C, a mix of sun and clouds, not much wind and what wind there was, was blowing from the sea so biking home I had it in my back. Just an awesome day all around.
Checking in on day 19, quiet one today, which I like . Looking forward to a alcohol free weekend , happy Friday all
Checking in on day 59. Nothing much to share atm. Wishing you a whatever you need this evening. Much love.

@Squirt thank you, at the moment I have to weigh every week for therapy, might try to only do it monthly when Iām flying solo though. I hope you find a babysitter
@anon74766472 sorry the roads are so dangerous
@Girlinterrupted congrats on 400 days
326 days no alcohol.
294 days no cocaine.
20 days no binge-eating.
Still craving yum yums, feel worried that I may cave on my birthday this Sunday and order them, part of me thinks it would be okay as a one-off because itās not like Iāll be having cake, but I really donāt want to reset or risk triggering a whole bingeing cycle. I should have discussed it with the therapist but I didnāt think.
Made it back to the gym and swimming today, pleased about that after therapy day off. Itās been very humid here today so I was already sweating before I left home, I didnāt feel like putting my gym clothes on and getting even more sweaty, but Iām glad I did, Iām probably alone on this but I often wish the swimming pool was colder
8 days and 20 hours so heading into day 9 I geuss lol, time really seems like itās just flying by. Itās a rainy crappy day in good ole tupper lake, the girls got both theyre new babies today, Iām gonna clean the house in a little bit or clean it to the best of my ability itās wild how hard of a task it is for me to clean to with my ADHD. I get so lost and side tracked and just confused on where stuff should go. But it is what it is, Iām gonna crank the tunes and do what I can, and then maybe draw some stuff up. Hope everyone has a good day
Just hit day 3 and my god the difference in how I have felt today compared to Wednesday is nuts! Had a few longing pangs around 5/6pm but shut them down and now Iām looking forward to day 4! X
4 Days down. My headās a mess and my life is a mess. Addiction has me back living with my mother. Iām so ashamed and embarrassed about this, but I know why it is so. Iām doing the 90 meetings in 90 days this time. So far so good. Left to my own devices I always eventually fail. I am grateful that I am allowed home for a few hours after work to be about the kids. Although I feel like a complete failure, I do believe that if I put in sincere daily work on myself and accept the pain that it brings I will find my way to a better life. Love the way everyone here is able to share the highs and lows so well. Hope I get better at it, and join you on your way.
