Checking in at the end of day 181.
Struggled today. Allowed myself to get dehydrated and hungry. Was at two separate socials - both with alcohol present. Start of a big holiday. Wife very unhappy that we canât travel and in need of cheer. Sun shining. Big challenge.
The many things that I love about sobriety carried me throughâŚeventually.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Day 20. Very tough one today but Iâm so proud Iâve overcome it. So many urges. Mainly because nearly everyone I associate with is drinking tonight. Going to he shop for snacks for the game for the family and everyoneâs in the queue had alcohol , plus I had to queue past the alcohol aisle . I can admit I looked , but told myself no, told myself the the feeling tomorrow is not worth it and bought Diet Coke. I was so pleased walking out the shop but must admit I missed the petrol station so I had no fuel to go back. Hope everyoneâs enjoyed their Saturday

I was asked to read at the CA meeting last night. It is my favorite reading to listen to others read but it was super difficult for me to speak. I managed to do it but it didnât feel genuine, not yet, but one day.
Heading out to hang out with my new homegroup members. My first outing with a homegroup. Hope it will be a fun time.
Congrats on your days everyone.

Checking in on day 35âŚ
Today I went out for lunch with my wife, brother and his partner. I had two cokes and sat and watched him drink two largers 
I just got back from the pub watching football. Everyone was drinking apart from me. It did feel a bit awkward and it would of been too easy to cave in, but I didnât 
I was people watching though and felt a bit sorry for some of them!!
Have a good weekend folks.

327 days no alcohol.
295 days no cocaine.
21 days no binge-eating.
This morning began quite sadly, with the news that on Thursday, during surgery to remove a blockage from his intestine, my cousinâs dog died, he was only two. Thereâs a bit of a backstory why itâs extra heart-breaking, because itâs the same cousin whoâs 6 year old daughter died from a neurodegenerative disease that slowly and painfully took all her abilities away from age 2. They have a son who is now 7, their daughter would have been 11 last month, they canât have anymore children because thereâs a 50/50 chance of them having the same terminal disease, so they welcomed a puppy into their family and he gave them so much joy, I really am heart-broken for them.
I then saw my auntie and uncle, who are the parents of that cousin, we met at a garden centre, I had already eaten lunch so I had a slice of cake while they ate theirs, it was lovely and now I donât feel any urge to binge tomorrow. I also bought 6 new plant pots, some plant foods, and 2 massive bags of compost. So Iâm looking forward to the repotting tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is my birthday, Iâm really looking forward to spending it sober, this will be the first time since I was 11, I am turning 34 tomorrow. I am repotting my plants in the morning, then gym and swimming at lunchtime, then glow in the dark crazy golf in the evening, which Iâm excited about, itâs new to the area and itâs space themed 
. Will hopefully see my brother and his little family too. My dad messaged to ask what I was doing Monday, so I replied but then didnât hear back from him.
Really glad I made it to gym and swimming today, I didnât know how much I needed it til the endorphins hit afterwards, the pool was a bit cooler today too, very refreshing
I hope youâre all having enjoyable weekends
