Day 6. Outside the gym, had the best nights sleep last night and feel pretty damn good today . Itās Friday and I have a lovely little sober weekend planned. Have a great sober day everyone
1 week no sugar
595 days saying no to my booze.
Every time I say no to the craving for just one small, extra bite, I become stronger.
- Having an extra coffee. One late shift to go before a 9 day holiday. Vacation plans got f*cked up because of you know what. That does mean no break in therapy and Iām glad about that as yesterday I returned there after a 4 week summer break and happy to be there I was.
Although I didnāt look forward to it too much beforehand it turned out really good. Got some good feedback on the work Iām currently doing on myself, which has to do with avoidance, procrastination and self discipline and nicely ties in to recovery work too. All this therapy is part of my recovery, my personal journey. Couldnāt do it for sure without being sober and clean. And wouldnāt stay sober if I didnāt do this work.
Two members of therapy group had a relapse in marijuana use, I feel for them as I know I tried therapy before, whilst being under the influence of one substance or another or many at the same time. Absolutely no way therapy was going to work like that back then.
Well, weāre all on our own roads. I know theyāll look at me for some help and Iāll give it to them but they need to do the work themselves right. One day at a time. Have a good Friday all. Sober and clean. Love from the train to my therapy group.
Day 374
Too much procrastinating, too much eating, too much reliance on social media, too much ruminating.
Not big problems, just feel a bit unfocused.
Hey everyone, checking in on day 432. Crappy weather today but Iām still going to be about 100 times as productive as I would have been when I was still drinking.
I hope everyone is doing well
1109 days alcohol free
Goodmorning all of you wonderful amazing people
If you fell down, get back up because itās worth it
If you didnāt fall down keep going up because its worth it
Unfortunately for me I fell down yesterday but not todayyā¦ Praise godā¦ I woke up feeling healthy and awake.
I wish you all the best day today
You got this
16 months 14 days and stil striving to hit that 2 year mark. I think back and i would of had 23 years clean and sober i let my guard down just before taking my 15 year chip and relapsed. Never think you got the addiction beat you will only fool yourself. Its been an up hill battle on this go round every time i get a little breathing room i get hit with some reminder that i messed up all thoes years and now im paying the price health wize drugs and alcohol wreck havoc on your body and when your older it all hits you hard being diagnosed with cirrhosis is a game changer. now its all about what kind of legacy am i going to leave behind???
Day 370
The days go by pretty quickly. Schools open in September. My son, who has been with me at home for 1.5 years will finally get to school. My daughter has returned to Italy . Iāll be back at the office in September too. In the new period, we will return to the hybrid mode of operation. Covid is redesigning everything. Other than that, Iām fine, Iām sober
Checking in on day 36
Checking in HALT on this day12. It is an amazingly perfect summer day beachside, a Friday, waves are up, locals out and Iām about to walk my grumpy butt to a meeting to keep from drinking. Where Iām probably gonna sit with arms crossed, mask on, pouting, going through the motions. After which I will sit outside, chat with my sponser about my days and go about my sober day. This is most definitely a TWO meeting day.
Or @C_8 we can cheat and take the decimals off. Hahahah.
Checking in 100 days behind my beautiful friend.
@Lisa07 Congrats on 700, you earn every one of those daysā¦ hope you have 700 medals hanging on a wall somewhere.
One foot infront of the otherā¦ you are doing it. Hitting two meetings sounds amazing I havenāt been able to do that in my recovery yet but it is a goal! Let us know how you feel after all that fellowship I am sure I would be feeling more spiritually sound.
Sending you a big hug so you need to uncross those arms.
Woo hoo! Congratulations on 600 days!!
Youāre so smart, I didnāt think to remove the decimals.
Wooow, congratulations on your 600 days
600 days.
You have the numbers AND the skills!!
Humongous congratulations on 600 hard-earned days.
6.7 days!! Be a full week by tomorrow morning. Had a few thoughts of drinking as normally i would drink on a friday night. Theres so much talk of drink at work also.
Ive instead again come straight home and decided on a takeaway tonight to treat myself
Feeling super tired so will get myself into bed early again with the tv likely wont be able to move in the morning after my aerial session yesterday starting to seize up this afternoon and my bruises are interesting haha

Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
