@947496893734373 we are in the same page. Congratulations for your 15 days

I can understand. My step-dad is a real red wine fiend. I used to love going to his house as it was a great excuse to drink. He loves to get you to taste this and that. But it will be hard next time I go to turn down even a taste of his favourite bottle.

@Rockstar24777 you doing okay? Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see your daily check in today and you’re normally posting either right before or after me! I don’t think you’ve missed one in over a year lol

Finally got back to Ft. Drum after an extremely busy weekend. Tomorrow is going to determine the month of October for me and I badly want to spend it with my wife as she continues with her IVF treatment. The reclass school for the military can wait. I have a feeling me being with my wife will improve her chances of conceiving.

Checking in. Day 27.

@ShadowFax . Welcome back.

Nice to see you again.

Dolse71 · October 4, 2021, 12:25am

personally and I think for many others in the early days it’s a bit of an obsession simple bc we think about alcohol or drugs all day so we are very aware of how long it has been. Now I’m over a year I have to look at my counter if I want to know. Its a long while coming but that peace and serenity we hear about so often really does exist, you guessed it though, it’s one day at a time. My 370ish won’t keep me sober tommorow. And yes I agree with you our honesty is the most important thing we have.

RosaCanDo · October 4, 2021, 12:27am

Thanks, man. That’s the thing, I’ve mostly gotten past that obsession point (most of the time) and what a relief that is. But it felt like time for a new start for a lot of reasons. I’m at peace with it.

Rockstar24777 · October 4, 2021, 12:34am

Hey everyone, day 478 clean and sober today. Thank you @Nordique and @Laraellelarissa for checking on me. I’m ok just a little warn out from work. I was feeling like a loser because I caved and smoked again after 5 days and it just embarrasses me . I love you guys, didn’t mean to scare anyone. Hope you all had a great day today

Nordique · October 4, 2021, 12:50am

Glad you’re doing okay man! That sucks about
the smoking but definitely no reason to feel like a loser. I’ve never smoked but I’ve heard it can be harder to quit than booze.

Rockstar24777 · October 4, 2021, 12:54am

Thanks bro I appreciate you a lot!

anon53116147 · October 4, 2021, 12:55am

Checking in day 4. Doing ok I guess hope you all had a good day take care

MaggieDoe · October 4, 2021, 12:55am

Finishing up day 6. I’ll officially be sober for 7 days, according to my timer, at 2AM… I can’t remember the last time I went a solid week without drinking. I’m also shocked by how absolutely exhausted I am, but I lie in bed and can’t sleep.
This weekend was definitely challenging. I live in Wisconsin and the culture is alcohol so I was surrounded by drinking every night. It was really tough last night although I’m surprised that today, when no one else was drinking, was my hardest day to abstain. I’ve just clicked in to TS and read through comments off and on all day. Thank you all, you’re keeping me focused.

Dazercat · October 4, 2021, 1:03am

Checking in.
640 fucken days alcohol free.
52 days no added sugar.
Backs been hurting. But less worse. Still sober.
Watching football all weekend. Still sober.
Bored because I’m a bit laid up. Still sober.
Grateful. I’m still sober.
My daughter and SIL driving in from Cali Thursday. Priceless. I can’t wait to see her. And him.
No way I’m drinking today.
Probably no way I’m drinking tomorrow.

Sometimes all that matters is that you’re still trying.

Congratulations on your first week sober Maggie, and getting through your first weekend.
Great job.

ChristopherX · October 4, 2021, 1:49am

I love Sundays in the fall! Great weather, great football, and great baseball today. Today was a blessing.

Day 63 No Alcohol. My boyfriend is currently hungover from drinking this afternoon. I had a moment of jealousy seeing other people drink earlier and wishing I could too. But now it’s just a clear reminder of one of the reasons I abstain. Hangovers suck. The “fun” he was having earlier doesn’t seem worth the consequences.
