Checking in sober and sleepy. Full day today and definitely feeling the weekend approaching. Usually dreary weather for several days will get me down, but I haven’t felt that this week, so I am pleased there. No desire to drink today and I hope that remains the case tomorrow. I’m using a new workbook for healing that is digger deeper and going to try a different type of meeting Saturday so we shall see. I am looking forward to it as I find that learning all of the different approaches to something we can, be it addiction, spirituality, improving health, parenting, and so on, we find the truth for ourselves in the collective.

Wishing peaceful night or day for all!!

There are good and bad days in sobriety… I often go to bed early too on the tough ones.

Day 28, started rough but doing better tonight. Starting outpatient rehab next Tuesday. My sponsor told me she loves me today and it wasn’t even weird. I am so grateful for the people I’ve met while trying to get sober.

You’ve got this. They say the bored, lost and needy feeling goes away eventually.

Morning everyone ! 8 months sober today for me . I’ve hardly been on here this last 2 weeks as I’ve had a mentally busy time at work and have been exhausted by the time I’ve got home. Plus I’m looking at getting my own house with my partner and moving out of rented accommodation which is something I didn’t think we would be able to do financially but we had some great news that we could do, exciting times .
8 months is a good solid number I like that , I still work on it when I can , reading books still on quitting but mainly on how to build a new life which is then the other side of quitting- what do you then do with your time ??
But in the whole I’m really good , still give alcohol some thoughts but I’m confident that I would never take the time to go into the shop and buy a bottle of anything no matter how hard things get sometimes .
Hope everyone is well - spent the last hour reading through the threads and some amazing numbers and stories. Happy Friday :relaxed::relaxed:

checking in for today.

yesterday i was frustrated and annoyed all day. I just must accepted that these days will come and go. But that’s wen the cravings kick in. :anguished::pleading_face:
I had a good sleep so now I’m fine.

Yesterday I suddenly received a bottle of wine from an acquaintance. Taken from his holiday in Greece.
I don’t really know what to do with it, of course I’m not going to drink it. But a bottle of wine in my house is not a good idea. :scream:

Have a nice day my friends!

stay sober!

A random act of kindness gift to a stranger or a gift to a friend or acquaintance…? or down the drain should it tempt you and make you crave more…

Day 423
A little tired today, I put my bicycle parking ticket in the station wicket and got beeped at while there was a queue of tutting business people behind me, and had AV issues at work. Hope to relax a little this weekend.

Down the drain doesn’t feel right because it was a gift. I think I will give it to a friend he knows I struggle with my addiction no questions asked. :wink:
