- Started our family vacation today. We’re spending the night in Louisville, KY then off to Gatlinburg, TN for 4 days. Every year my whole family chooses a place to go to Celebrate my late sister on the anniversary of her leaving us. It’s been 10 years in the 6th. I still miss her terribly but this time together we do this for my parents. We always look forward to this time of the year. Today we visited a place called Ark encounter a replica of Noah’s Ark. It was great. Being with my family at this time is helpful keeps me busy and my mind occupied. Grieving is hard on anyone even after so long but I know I have addict tendencies so being accountable is huge for me. Prayers for anyone who is struggling right now with grief or anything else you are not alone.
Here’s a rare pic of all my kids together. Have a blessed night everyone.

Day 368.
And Day 1 of sweet, blessed, sober self-care vacay. I chain-napped this afternoon, but that’s okay - totally necessary. A cracking close thunderstorm this evening! Gonna take the dog girl out now and enjoy the cool, fresh air. The things I missed out on when all the nerve endings were numbed… no more, though!
What do you say, friends? Let’s do another day, hey?
I “cheers” you all with my tea!
G’night, big love to all. 
Milestone madness today! I’ve missed a bunch, I know - but if you ask me, every one of you is worth celebrating, and every day we do this.
Well done on those early days, @Tinele and @Kmcc123 and @Alfa07! And one week @Lilemm!
@Loops and @sober_dream Glad you are posting! Great job on those days. Hope to see you around here lots! It’s a more-the-merrier kinda place…
@Hazy 90! You’re doing it. Hope you know how amazing you are!
@Singtone 180? Friend, that’s sumthin’ to be proud of! Congrats on wrapping up another trying school year too. The best of summer to you and yours!
@Girlinterrupted 400! Nice! I don’t get the joke. But I’m like that! 
There’s that whole year and half, @Dazercat! Big number = big cake, you know that. Big zucchini cake!

Day 972.
Feeling better today. Finished 4th (male road cyclists won) in our company during the 3 weeks cycling event we have in many cities in Germany. You can win: nothing. What I noticed is that competition is not good for me. I like it but it is not good. Brain twist.
Anyway, it is finished and I will think about next year in 49 weeks.
Have a wonderful Saturday!

Checking in on Day 79.
I haven’t been keeping up with comments much here and feel a littebad about that. Life is pretty frantic at the minute and I’m trying to stay off my phone more. Love scanning through and seeing everyone’s achievements, though, so inspiring. And people always helping each other out, equally as inspiring.
I’m going for a nice dinner and to the theatre tonight. Both of these experiences hold triggers for me. I know I won’t drink and will feel proud after,; I just need to make sure I’ve thought about what drink to have instead and why I’m doing this.
Have great weekends all!

Morning all ! Day 145 for me and I’ve not been on here for a week which I felt really guilty abou this morning. I’ve had such a busy week at work , I’ve been at the gym every morning at 6, back into the office this week which has been great. Everything still going good , not thinking of alcohol as much but I’m always fearful of complacency, thinking I’ve got this and then relapsing over something. I hope one day to be totally free of it , my cravings are definitely a lot less but I think about it a lot still and worry about one day giving in. Anyway for now I’m feeling great and enjoying my life alcohol free. Some great posts on this thread as usual well done to everyone who has some great numbers !
Have a lovely weekend all
