try some camomile tea, donât use a screen before bed or eat sugar. Just lay there and concentrate on your breathing. The good news is you donât need as much sleep bc your body is not having to fight with all the shit you used to put in it. Itâs normal and will take a little while to level out and when you do sleep it will be a better quality sleep. Youâll go into some really deep surreal dreams, theyâre mad

Day 428
Woke up feeling rubbish. Headache, achey, bit sick even. Am indignant that my day off will be affected. Yet I feel better than hungover. And a day off used to be a red flag to a bull to drink the evening before because it was ok to be hungover the next day. I should go for a run, the weather has cleared up, but will instead walk to the library and get some more gentle exercise.

Checking in sober and feeling productive and ready for downtime. I felt a bit down and worried about several things, but decided to focus on my sleep and setting intentions for the day each morning. I need to remind myself that I can only do what time allows and the best I can is just that. Staying sober, rested, nourished and getting physical activity daily, should allow the rest to come much more easily.
Hope everyone is having a peaceful day/night.

- My brother came and picked my boys up tonight to have a talk with them. He took them to Hibachi Grill and they were able to talk. He sent me pics and my boys came home so excited about their night. I called SIL and thanked her (because he took the time out from his family schedule to come help me out because I called him crying just yesterday).I feel so blessed to have my family to come help out when I need it. October is a rough month for us my husbands birthday is coming up and I feel like this is partly why the boys are struggling with school and just about everything right now. They miss him so muchâŚwe all do. But, so very grateful my brother stepped in and talked to them. Well I just wanted to do a quick check in Iâm exhausted lol have a wonderful night TS fam

Oh I can relate to this. I think I would even try to convince myself to drink, lest I waste the opportunity of a free âhangover dayâ.
Hope you feel better soon, @Misokatsu!

Day 72 Alcohol Free! Another good day to be sober.
I saw this post from Mike Flanagan (director of Haunting of Hill House, Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Doctor Sleep, etc) and retweet by the one and only Stephen King and it made me happy as Iâm inspired by both of their work. It awesome that they are sober, proud of it, and share their stories with the world.

No one has made you feel like shit, Mike. You feel like shit not because of us. We have all talked to you but if you keep making the decision to go out and not listen to anyone trying to talk to you, you can dump that on us all you want but youâre looking at the right person to blame in the mirror.

Daily check in:
I have a date with a friend this afternoon and I have decided to tell him that for now it is better if we donât see each other for a while.
My relationship with this friend basically comes down to drinking, using other substances and gaming.
Iâve never met him while we where sober. This is not an healthy friendship in mij opinion anymore.
I have spoken to him about this several times and that I want to stop drinking. his response was always indifferent and uninterested
.
Apart from our addiction we have no similarities.
I have thought about this for a long time and I have decided that its the best for me and I should do what makes me feel good
Sometimes in life you have to make choices to stop seeing certain people, not because you hate them but because you choose to walk a different path. Not an easy choice but itâs better for me and my sobriety.
Depending on his reaction, I decide whether Iâm going to end the friendship altogether.
Yesterday I did some hiking. It was raining but for some reason hiking in the rain feels relaxed and calms me down. During this hike I released how unhealthy this friendship is.
At the moment there are a lot of mushrooms in the forest where I usually hike. 
Thanks you for reading and I wish you an awesome sober day and make the best of it!

Good difficult decision you are making there with your friend. It could be hard on both of you. But youâre right. It is best for your sobriety. Itâs definitely ok. Given time you never know how things will turn out between the 2 of you. Meanwhile ODAAT
Cool looking shroom
Nice pic.

695 Days: Well my vacation to Maui was a bust with my girlfriend, now ex girlfriend, first two days were great, one of those days was my birthday so that was good. After that a steady downhill slide to breaking up, no bueno.
A lot happened between us, ended up leaving Maui early. The last I spoke to her was in the airport in LA. Not a word was spoken on the plane home. I landed Friday morning.
Hard weekend, back to work now. She text me a few times, mostly to get mad at me. Iâve stayed low-key and just told her we wouldnât ever see eye to eye on what truly ended us.
She sent me a text with a link to an article on attachment styles and how your style affects your partner. I never opened it.
So at almost 23 months sober, I can say for the first time in a very long time, the idea of drinking again is creeping in, well crashing in. Playing the old mind games of âIâm different nowâ, âI have so much more self control and understanding nowâ, âWhat would it hurtâ, will definitely help with ending an on again off again 8 year relationship".
I havenât drank and am not planning to, but itâs uneasy with how acceptable the thoughts of drinking have flooded back.
For now, Iâve just been spending the wedding ring fund. Bought some great new leather couches, new kitchen table and all new bedding!
Very much back to one hour at a time. But going to bed sober with 695 days pushing me forward.
Sorry for the long post, needed to vent a little.
Much Love.

Man, thats hard. Splitting on your birthday vacation. Several years ago I broke up with my ex-gf at the beginning of an anniversary trip, so I have sympathy. Hang in there and take care of yourself. This is a rough time.

Day 3. Figuring out how to use the app. Currently my cravings are every second day around 4pm, I have been giving in lately but have this app as a new tool. Will check in again before 4. Grateful for a sober day and good nights rest

I know you are hurting, but that is not fair. You continually get support and likes, but nobody will say âgood job, you relapsedâ. Relapsing is concerning and it is not judging to say that is not good and we hope better for you. And insulting people is just out of line.
