I’m just checking in. realize when yesterday I would have had 90 days, but I’m at 14 days so it is what it is I guess. I just got to relive and take it day by day.

Just checking in. I’ve been learning a lot, looking things up about alcoholism and all the ism’s for that matter. I don’t feel like such a outcast anymore. And I’m feeling things again. Love, empathy, pain, happiness and no matter what feeling I may be feeling by the end of the day… if I’m laying down sober for bed then I’m so grateful and like a child waiting on Christmas Eve for the next day and what new things it will bring:heart:
Have a great day everyone

Sarah congrats on your 365 consecutive days of recovery. I am so happy for you and your little, to have had so many 24 hrs together without you being in the grips of active addiction. Keep up the good work, even on the hard days I know you know its worth it.
So much love.

The system automatically creates the new threads. Any regular member can retitle them 
I guess it just keeps going each time a thread hits 2.5k posts. I guess we’ll find out 
I think it’s good that it links to the previous threads it continues from.

Congrats on 30 days Emma you’re doing amazing. You are such a huge inspiration for others, especially the ones in their early days on the forum right now. So happy you made it back to us.

It’s been so great following you on here and watching you do normal things all the time during your first year of sobriety. You have been much braver than I. And throughout a pandemic no less. I thoroughly enjoy your checkins as it gives me hope and courage to just get out there and do normal things. Enjoy this day. You’re so worth it. And you’ve worked so hard for it.

So in 12 days that’ll be quite a milestone Steve!
Not that 1083 isn’t of course!

365 whole, complete sober days. Every single one a victory. Every one a challenge that you rose to and overcame.

Checking in at the end of day 203, I think.
It’s funny how the number of days becomes less of a thing when you’re not in the vicinity of a milestone.
Another good day with the family.
Sleep has been a bit rubbish for the last couple of nights. Just not had enough of it. Been tired today. Hoping to sleep better tonight. Maybe I should go and get started.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Brilliant work @Clarity.
In a half hour I’ll have 27 days, some easier than others. I had a fairly good day today.
Still staying at my mother’s. Up and away to 11am aa… don’t think I heard much but I was there.
Went to shop and home to my own family. They are heading away for a few days summer holiday tomorrow so I helped wash clothes for them to pack. Washed my wife’s car and my own. Just keep moving all day. Had to leave early there to let them finish packing because I didn’t want them to see that I’m gutted. Know it has my wife’s head wreaked going without me… but she can’t Cope with the pain of my relapses.
This is where I am because I haven’t done the work to stay sober. I’m kind of just sitting with the pain trying to accept it because it is real. I’m hoping that a few days reflection on this will give me strength to continue on my sober path and help me through the moments when I’m weak.
I’m not going back to the soleless misery of active addiction so if it takes pain to get there… it’s good pain.
God I’m a wingeing fuckwit this evening… No one’s dead and I’m in a better place than a few weeks ago.
Peace and love to anyone struggling. Kevin.
