Day 1094. 2 days shy of 3 years. Spent the day shopping, cleaning, exercising and reorganising my bookshelves.
I did none of that when I was drinking and using.
I’m grateful for the little things today. Fresh fruit in the bowl, house is spotlessly clean and smells amazing 
@Singtone 6 months is substantial and you’re doing great.
@Girlinterrupted Congratulations on 400 days
@Dazercat WOW. . .One and a half years of not fucking drinking today is fanfrickentabulous. You have overcome anxious times and obstacles, coming out stronger on the other side. You have let your vulnerability peek out and I really appreciate your shares; both here and the meme thread. Keep kicking ass ya twat cuz your ass kicking is awesome to see.
@Hazy Congratulations on 90 days. Still one of my favorite milestones. Hope you treated yourself to something special.
@Chosen2001 Thanks so much for your share on the mindset. Awesome perspective and have bookmarked for later as I’m working on the best friend voice.
@SoberWalker Hope counting went well. Did you at least enjoy some of your granola?
@Julied Nice to see you and glad to hear you’re doing well.
@Sanuk Congratulations on 60 days.
@Gadsden Congratulations on 9 months
382 days Have a baby shower to attend this afternoon and am beginning to wish I didn’t accept the invitation. It’s bloody hot outside and I’m not certain I’m looking forward to the socialization and subsequent awkwardness of being around strangers. I’m taking my oldest stepdaughter with me so am looking forward to just her & I doing something. Hopefully it goes well and doesn’t feel like it’s dragging out. Have been considering hiring the roommate as our babysitter. Partially joked that his wage could assist him paying rent elsewhere and then he would only be here 3 days a week instead of 7. It’s feeling like a possible compromise but I’m still a lil torn on some things regarding the babysitting. Am going to keep my mind off it today and stay in the moment as much as I can.
Mine is 01/03/2021 your way. Dry January Lite.
Checking in on day 3 ! I feel quite good , but I must stay focused to keep me away from bad thoughts. Hugs to all of you 
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 can’t travel and in need of cheer. Sun shining. Big challenge.
The many things that I love about sobriety carried me through…eventually.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. 
Day 20. Very tough one today but I’m so proud I’ve 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 everyone’s 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 everyone’s enjoyed their Saturday 
Thank you , I knew I would have days like this through the summer so pleased I didn’t fall at the first hurdle.
Checking in.
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 didn’t 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.
You’re all good, no joke to be got. Just old people terminology
I loveeeeeeee youuuuuuu
Looks like you’ve prepared yourself. Stay strong!
Having a great time so far, did a chair lift and some hiking today, here are some pics. Gearing up for the 4th of July celebration here tonight, looks like a good festival!
Wow! How amazing 
Haven’t tried it yet, only count the amount of boxes I had of them 
Counting went fine thank you! 
Checking in on day 35…
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 didn’t 
I was people watching though and felt a bit sorry for some of them!!
Have a good weekend folks.
Grateful to still be sober.
Thankyou TS for all your kind words and your constant encouragement for over 2 years x

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 cousin’s dog died, he was only two. There’s a bit of a backstory why it’s extra heart-breaking, because it’s the same cousin who’s 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 can’t have anymore children because there’s 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 don’t feel any urge to binge tomorrow. I also bought 6 new plant pots, some plant foods, and 2 massive bags of compost. So I’m looking forward to the repotting tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is my birthday, I’m 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 I’m excited about, it’s new to the area and it’s 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 didn’t hear back from him.
Really glad I made it to gym and swimming today, I didn’t know how much I needed it til the endorphins hit afterwards, the pool was a bit cooler today too, very refreshing
I hope you’re all having enjoyable weekends 
Checking in on day 7
100% agree. Sounds like a new adventure is beginning 
Enjoy it - you’ve earned it
