your doing great so be proud of yourself, I’ve been where you are, most of us have but it’s that grit and determination that you show to keep picking yourself up and giving it another go. This is what the winners are made of and none of us knew when our last drink was going to be. Funnily enough what keeps me sober today is not knowing when my next drink is going to be, experience has taught me I’m more than capable of picking up at any time so I continue to use all the tools I’ve got every day to make sure this doesn’t happen.

Thanks menno. Went to a meeting tonight, spoke a little and I hate it literally as soon as I leave I’m supposed to be feeling better, but no instead I wanted to drink. Instead I came home and shaved because I have neglected that for months now, I’m gonna try to draw a little and just hope this obsession goes away again. I know I get grouchy when my girls are here but I wish they were here bc they keep me safe

Checking in tonight sleepy and ready for a good night of rest. So glad it is the weekend and proud to get to the end of a work week soberly. I love seeing all of the wonderful accomplishments of the TS crew but also love to see the shares when we aren’t at our best b/c I am reminded that no matter how shitty someone feels at that moment, they reached out and that means there is hope. Sweet dreams and peace y’all.

Checking in on Day 19 no alcohol, Day 265 no weed

Heading to bed – a full and good day. Taught yoga, went to the beach, spent time with my dog outside, got some work done, cleaned/organized, made a fire… all good stuff made better by being sober. Goodnight, friends!

Day 70 done. It has been hot and dry up here. Hoping for some rain tonight. I took the kids geocaching today. That was a fun adventure. Also, went on a bike ride this afternoon and my bike threw its chain at the bottom of a hill. :roll_eyes: That was fun. Grateful to face the day sober.

Congratulations on 600 days @Its_me_Stella! Amazing work!

Way to go, two weeks down, @Wakikki! Keep up the great work!

Jackie is soo sweet @Charlie_C! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!

Day 5 here! I’d be at 19 if I didn’t slip up. I’m glad it happened, because now I know how to say no to events that have alcohol involved. It won’t be easy, but I’m excited to finally see friends and family sober. I’m even more excited to watch my mental health blossom.

Today has been one of those random clean/sober days where everything is really going well and you feel like a regular functioning productive human :thinking:

Ive done so much today. Latley in lock down ive been in a “il do it tomorrow” kinda mood.

But a switch inside me finally flipped and I’ve been on fire all day :tada:

I did a 5k run

Then got in another 14k steps out walking in the glorious sun.

I did 5 loads of washing and folded them and put it all away (!!!) They normal sit there clean in there baskets for days and rarely get put back before there worn again. Over joyed with myself for doing this today.

I vacuumed the whole apartment.

I mopped.

I scrubed down the entire bathroom.

I dusted.

I did little impromptu dances whilst cleaning :joy:

I did the dishes.

I ate lunch.

I drank 3 litres of water :tada:

I talked with my friend that lives in Pennsylvania.

So just looking back over my list, in the past I would of been high as a kite on meth and doing all that on day 4 of no sleep… But its apparently now possible that I can get all that done with a clean/sober body and mind :tada:

Today is a day of pure gratitude for life :heart:
