  1. Coffee after a long nightā€™s sleep. Pretty Indian summer weather. Going for a bike ride, just donā€™t want to make it too long like I tend too. Therapy was intense yesterday as the therapists thought it a good moment to lure us all into speaking out some negative feelings towards other group members. I obliged while I totally hate conflicts and like to avoid them at all costs. Well, that was the therapistā€™s point right. Made me very tense anyway. And exhausted afterwards, hence the long night.
    Itā€™s all part of my road, my recovery. Hard work. But so worth it. Stay on yours friends. One day at a time. Love from my street.


@anon27760155 Strength and success in dealing with your stuff friend. Very glad to see you here.
@jjcarson92 Congrats Joseph! 600 is huge!
@anon9289869 Awesome day count lady! Huge congrats.
@Irisees919 No disappointment Margaret. You made a conscious decision not to give in to the urge. You made it through. Thatā€™s a huge victory. Great work! Next time youā€™ll recognize the temptation sooner and defeat the urge faster. One day, one urge at a time. Hugs.
@Lola Thatā€™s an enormous number Lola. Congrats. Alles kits in Haarlem?

Checking in. Day 15. Iā€™ve been absent a few days but only because Iā€™ve been throwing myself into work to try and keep myself as busy as possible. Still going strongā€¦ or at least as strong as I can. Every now and again I get that feeling, that taste and I want to run an ā€œerrandā€ but so far Iā€™ve stayed far away from the liquor store.

Day 388
Feeling unfocused and irritable. Have been not posting on here so much and forgetting my 11th step occasionally. No thoughts of drinking, but maybe these are signs that I am drifting a little. Gonna get back on track.

Seems like rock bottom situation and you within it making difficult choices, are reflecting and beating up yourself with the guilt thing. Yes, you probably did some shait and things one could say about it that there were/are wrongs or deffinet discisions who are seeded by those former choices that now are gutting out in reality by the effects or probably mostly because of YOU now seeing it , I know how helpless someone can feel when all seems broken, no clue where to start picking up the pieces but please give yourself a brake of kindness. It wasnā€™t you who did all, it was the addiction. Underneath that poisoned sleeve is your true self that needs to rebuild.
Speaking out like you did takes courage,
I hope you can cut yourself some slack and remember that how alone or stuck in a place you might feel.
Thereā€™s always someone here on TS

Be safe and see the good

Day 448 clean and sober today. Up again without an alarm at 4am having my morning coffee. Feeling a little low emotionally this morning, I have some ghosts in my head that are still haunting me, weird how they come back. Going to take shower and get ready for work. I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Checking in at day 200. I love being sober. I love the clarity of thought vs the cloud of drunkenness. And while I feel the feelings I used to cover up with a drink, Iā€™m learning to cope and manage and hopefully someday heal and thrive. The biggest bonus for me in quitting is I no longer wake up to new problems Iā€™d made in a blackout. I love being sober. And Iā€™m really grateful to be here.
