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 isnā€™t my life anymore.

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 didnā€™t help because I kept getting interrupted by family. Iā€™ll 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.

  1. 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 whoā€™s in recovery too so sheā€™s the only one I can really talk about lots of recovery stuff. Normies donā€™t get so much of it, if any.
    Iā€™m good. Ready for another week. One day at a time. Sober and clean. Itā€™s off to work I go. Have as good a Monday as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from my walk yesterday.

    @Lisa07 Iā€™m sorry Lisa. Iā€™m glad youā€™re here tough. I know how we made it trough stuff like this when we werenā€™t sober. We didnā€™t. We tried to forget by drowning our sorrows. Now we have to deal yes. Hard. But better. Big hugs.

Hopefully we never stop learning Lisa. It would be nice if the lessons were always easy but I guess it doesnā€™t work that way. It is always better sober with a clear head.
Nice catch on those numbers. Hereā€™s to a better day tomorrow. :pray::heart:

Day 1062 :coffee:
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 canā€™t have ā€œjust oneā€. If I start eating, I eat it all and afterwards I feel quilty :expressionless:


So Iā€™ve got my first reset already in my pocket, so stupid. I found a chocolatbar in my house and couldnā€™t resist it. Iā€™m going to make some kind of plan for myself today. I donā€™t want to jeopardize my sobriaty because chocolat was my to go to when I have cravings. So I need a new Pan B :thinking:

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! :facepunch::kiss:

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 :sweat_smile:
Itā€™s not the first time I try to quit.

With a bigger apple and no donut?
