Thank you 
Yup, not so long ago, I would have been tortured by this and run to the ārescueā. The best part is that itās genuine. I think Iām finally over him. Iāll always love him, but Iāll never let him hurt me again

Slightly stressed at the moment, my new job they will be doing a DBS (criminal background check) so emailed them to say i have a caution for affray 16 yrs ago. I always upfront with employers and its always been fineā¦ however got an email back saying job offer still stands however my start dates could be delayed while HR review the circumstances! This incident was a homeaphobic attack on one of my friends, me and another friend were trying to pull him out of a group hitting him but everyone got a caution. So i am panicking i may lose the job offer. When i got the email telling me this, i had an urge to get a bottle but quickly pushed that thought away. So fingers crossed all works out. But dealing with this sober the only way.
Have a good strong day everyone

I have thought about this a lot lately. I am so grateful for my sobriety. Making this decision and continuing with it has been the biggest blessing in my life.
Writing down daily what Iām grateful for is a staple in my tool box to help me stay sober
And today I have 600 days of gratitude

Checking in on Day 95.
A glorious hot weekend here in the UK. I filled it with loads of outdoor time, iced coffee and times with loved ones. I honestly didnāt think about drinking once. This is insane to me.
Driving myself home sober. Waking up early and refreshed. Not having one ounce of a hangover. These things have not got old yet.

- Coffee. Back to work. Sober and clean. Thanks so much for being here all, for each other, for yourselves, and for me. I could never do it without you and I am pretty sure you couldnāt either. One day at a time weāre doing this. Love from Amsterdam.
@Lionfish Huge congrats Lea!!!

609 Days: Much better day today. Started the day off with a birthday breakfast for my daughter at one of our favorite little old school cafes. Came home and finally heard from my ex. She confirmed all the reasons we are breaking up, which actually provided some closure and reassurance I was doing the right thing. Spent some time in the sun pruning my flowers and floating in my hillbilly pool (best purchase ever)! Spoke to some old friends I havenāt spoke to in a long time and just had a relaxing day.
Taking life one day at a time is amazing!
Much love!

Day 342
Although I didnāt have classes today, I still went into work to do grading and paper organising. Nice to feel a bit ahead. Temps in the mid-30s but not tempted to drink. This time last year I was tempted by the heat and the approaching end of semester and relapsed. This time really enjoying my cold buckwheat tea and ginger ale. Not feeling deprived at all.

Checking in on day 24,had a great weekend with kids, Iāve booked a night away with them and my mum for my 30 days nxt week by the seaside only cosy Ā£60,need to be mindful how much time Iām spending on my phone as for me it can play havoc with my mental health staring at a screen and not living in the real world so Iāve got rid of faceache and ts is my main platform, also need to be more on what I.m eating as Iām doing well on exercise front but not so on food front so it really defeats the purpose of all that work Iām putting it Iām 40 and my weight isnāt shifting so easily now. Have a blessed Monday all. 
Down to 30 ml on methadone today from 50

Day 15 here and off to my second AA meeting later. Life is up and down, but thatās life I guess. Alcohol wonāt change that for the better.

Unfortunately checking in on day 1, Iām not going to make excuses cause there are none just a bad decision later last night. I regret it a lot but am not going to dwell on it and waste any of my headspace on it as I donāt want to get drawn back into thinking about alcohol all the time . I am just going to move on and focus again on being sober. Hope everyoneās having a great start to their week.

Well done for getting back here quickly, only my personal opinion i always noted my trigger and tried to put tools in placeā¦ i have had lots of relapses but my tool box helps to deal with those addiction noises, journalling, meditation, breathing techniques whatever, but they help me
Have a good sober dayš

Thank you , I know exactly what triggered it , I think thatās why Iām more annoyed with myself , plus allowing my son to keep alcohol in the house thinking I was stronger than I obviously wasnāt. Your so right and I can use this tool next time I feel that way .
