Checking in and sober. Refreshed and ready for a new week, but going to take it one day at a time.
Day 1058 pretty much in the books.
Kind of wish the weekend was longer, one more day would be great.
Checking inā¦
595 days substance free
10 days sugar free
Made it to the AA campout for the potluck dinner and a meeting. Met my sponsor to go over some stepwork this morning, then today met a girlfriend at an outdoor patio for a meal and to listen to some live tunes.
Many times over the course of this weekend I have inwardly and outwardly expressed deep gratitude for my substance recovery and my life. As I drove home today I thought about all of the frightening positions I have put myself into while drinking and drugging. So grateful that isnāt my life anymore.
Saying bye to my old life.
Oh yeah, and sugar cravings are gone!!!
Had one of those days questioning why I ever got married. I really needed a meeting but no in person available tonight so I attended one online, but it didnāt help because I kept getting interrupted by family. Iāll just go to bed and hope life gets better tomorrow. Still learning how to ride the waves of life in sobriety. Caught this cool number though.
Day 63 and counting without Alcohol, yet day one without weed itās a struggle but Iāll be ok.
Great number Lisa, congrats on your recovery.
Donāt forget about that day to yourself at the beach we talked about.
- Coffee. A bit sore from walking and biking in the last days but will take that any time over waking up dazed, headachey, and sick from the bender the night before. Never again. I had a nice walk and talk yesterday with my old friend. She is my only friend over here whoās in recovery too so sheās the only one I can really talk about lots of recovery stuff. Normies donāt get so much of it, if any.
Iām good. Ready for another week. One day at a time. Sober and clean. Itās off to work I go. Have as good a Monday as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from my walk yesterday.
@Lisa07 Iām sorry Lisa. Iām glad youāre here tough. I know how we made it trough stuff like this when we werenāt sober. We didnāt. We tried to forget by drowning our sorrows. Now we have to deal yes. Hard. But better. Big hugs.
Wooohooo
800 club for you Menno!!!
800 !!! Wow goed gedaan jochie
Checking in at 591 AF
It was a great fucking day to be sober.
Thatās all Iām gonna say about that!
4 days no sugar
Day 2. Iāve had an early and reflective morning, mostly trying to not listen to my anxiety about going back to work as I didnāt even show up last week, luckily my boss Is incredibly understanding but stillā¦ā¦ anxiety central today . Off to battle I go
Congratulations !!!
Hopefully we never stop learning Lisa. It would be nice if the lessons were always easy but I guess it doesnāt work that way. It is always better sober with a clear head.
Nice catch on those numbers. Hereās to a better day tomorrow.
Whoās a cool sober cat with 800 days.
Great job. Looks like our days/nights are back in sync have a great week buddy.
Anybody else doodle? This literally had no intention of being anything I was practicing how to do torn skin. Idk I thought it turned out kind of cool
Day 1062
A few days ago I made a sugar timer on here as well. I tried loads of time to restrict my sugar intake. I always loved chocolat but when I quit drinking even more. And even with the chocolat I canāt have ājust oneā. If I start eating, I eat it all and afterwards I feel quilty
So Iāve got my first reset already in my pocket, so stupid. I found a chocolatbar in my house and couldnāt resist it. Iām going to make some kind of plan for myself today. I donāt want to jeopardize my sobriaty because chocolat was my to go to when I have cravings. So I need a new Pan B
Leaving for part 2 of our holiday this time without the kids. Heading south in the Netherlands and booked a B&B for 1 night. Have 5 days to fill and see where it leads us to.
I wish you all a good start of the week!
Gefeliciteerd Menno!
Same here Claudia. Sorry you had to restart. I planned my no sugar stopping in advance. So I got to enjoy what I had for a week and knew when I was stopping. It created a little bit of a binge, ok a big binge, but really made me want to stop.
Have a wonderful 5 days on your little adventure.
And congratulations on your boatload of sober days.
Thank you Eric!
I better could have done it the same way as you. But I decided impulsive to stop the sugar while reading your sugar tread
Itās not the first time I try to quit.
And maybe I have to find a new background
With a bigger apple and no donut?
This one is triggering!
