Yes! We started close to the same time. I’m a little older in sobriety thanks to my hospital and it wouldn’t surprise me if I’m older in years too. Time has been flying by.

Day 500 and I am getting a stark reminder of how insanely we think when drinking. I’m at the hospital with a family member who tried to OD while drinking. All will be good, but it reminds me of desperate times.

One month of sobriety.
Today is a very mentally and physically difficult day. I need some rest and isolation, but a window for that is very far away from now. I’m allowing myself to cry it out, and allowing as much bed time today as I can get away with. I’ve been asking myself, “What’s the point?” a lot these days. Not about anything specific - just in general. It feels like life is just going around and around in circles.
Anyway. A month is pretty cool, and I’m proud. Looking forward to when the smoke clears, and life can be savoured, rather than just going through the motions.

Day 9.6 such a busy day at work felt like i walked in and next minute it was home time no time to really process anything which cause a bit of an anxiety attack on my way home. Tends to happen when i have over done it!
Still straight home though! Making some tasty food shortly

Day 1023. Autumn is there. Fresh air, nights when it’s cooling. Better sleep.
Got myself motivated to run and it was not too bad.
Still 4 days to vacation.

Congrats on your 1 month of freedom Iwebt 
That’s a huge accomplishment.
A month is definitely pretty cool. Not to mention all the hard work mentally and physically we go through to get there.
I do feel the life going around in circles thing too. And like what is the point. Waking up hangover free, sober and clear headed sometimes is the only point for me somedays. And that feels terrific!
Hang in there. You’re doing this

And welcome to the 500 club. It is pretty insane how we use to think. I never want to go back.
I hope the rest of your day goes smoothly.
Congratulations again.

378 days no alcohol.
346 days no cocaine.
More bingeing today, but I walked to the supermarket to buy loads of crisps instead of paying for an expensive take away. Tonight is the final of the reality series I’ve been watching for the past couple of months, so of course my brain wants to eat with it. Seriously hoping I can stop bingeing after this. I have gained 10lbs in an exact month since I last weighed, I am now the heaviest I’ve been since October last year. Not happy. Need to change. I’ve got enough food stuff left for a couple of lunches and dinners, but after that I’m going on the meal replacement shakes, I just pray I can stick to it and it doesn’t lead to more bingeing.

433 days. Finally got the call from my addictions counselor but only to be told she’s retiring within a month. We are going to do some telephone appointments and for that I’m thankful. I’m in a weird spot right now as I’m trying to stay positive and encourage my stepdaughters mom to stay sober. Today is day 4 for her and today I told her I’m proud of her. If she stays sober and stays here she will be around for her oldest daughter’s birthday for the first time in 5 years. I want this for my stepdaughter because she deserves it. I don’t necessarily have an easy road ahead of me but I’m committed to finding balance before altering my life in any other chosen way.

You’ll be suffering for longer than a couple of weeks whilst alcohol is still in your life. Move on and give it another go
