Thank you so much 
Thank you it is the longest I’ve gone ( outside of being sick) since my drinking became a problem. I’m really proud and so grateful for all the support I’ve received from all of you.

Started a new job today and not sure how I’ll make the day 9-5…why do we put ourselves through this. I wish I was working for myself.
On a positive my colleagues thus far are really nice.

People tried my patience today but I smiled and did my art work.
Funny thing I took my drug test at treatment today they stand in and watch us. So I was walking towards the counter and almost fell with the cup in my hand the counselor looked at me and was like that’s a fail lol. No way buddy!

Hi.
It’s been a while.
A LOT has happened.
Highlights:
My 2yr Sober-versary was 9/12/21
Today is day 764
Got a new job 2 months ago. Work 100% remotely. Couldn’t do that if I was still drinking.
My oldest daughter moved out of the house and off to college in August.
We took a family vacation to Costa Rica this July - sober!
Youngest daughter went through and IOP program earlier this year - pretty much Jan-June was a nightmare. She’s still struggling but doing better.
Finally made all my amends this past weekend. Looking forward to being able to say I did all 12 steps. They work for me.
Still muddling through the marriage. Been too focused my daughter.
Truly grateful for the way the people here supported me and helped me in early sobriety. I have a group of 9 that I talk to outside of here on the regular. They are my people. They help me stay sober.
If you’re new here, stick around. Take it one day at a time.

Hi! 
Good to “see” you on here. Hope all is well. Past my bedtime now. And I’m supposed to be off my phone. But I’m like a naughty teenager still scrolling!

Heading into day 8. Today was rough. It was hard to resist the false comfort of my addiction, but I did. Just breathing through one day at a time.
Found this funny and it made my night a little better, hope it mages you so laugh too. (Hoping my picture loads this time…)

Checking in on Day 64. I’ve been feeling some extra anxiety lately and doing things to try and mitigate it that have been helping. But then today I only had half a cup of coffee and then switched to tea instead. I was feeling way more calm and noticed that some things that usually would irritate me didn’t bother me at all…and then I was like, oh yeah, usually I would have consumed waaaay more coffee. I do love coffee so much, but I’m going to switch mostly to tea for a while and see how I feel. Anything that might help lessen stress and anxiety I’m willing to give a shot!

If it is any comfort it will get easier. Honestly the first ten days I was white knuckling it, doing ANYTHING suggested to me in order to not pick up. It worked, I made it through and slowly but surely the days started to get more clear and my mood started to shift. It takes time, patience and work. You are doing a great job, take it minute by minute, hour by hour if you have to. I am glad you got through a tough day, you came out the other side stronger.
And…
Your meme is funny!!!
