I found this whole post quite insightful, it’s nice to have you here Stella! 
I do often see things through unnecessarily pessimistic glasses so to speak… As if the cup is always half empty no matter what’s in it or how big it is! Step 1: manifesting positivity. Simple positivity affirmations. I am sometimes aware of just how far I’ve actually come given prior circumstances! The only thing pushing me on sometimes is mindfulness… Big thanks for your post Stella

- Coffee. SAD lamp on. Strange dark wet warm weather. I’m not bad. Sober and clean. One day at a time. Got to hurry a little bit as last night after my late shift I had to watch my team Ajax destroy Dortmund in the champions league so it was late before I got in bed. And still get my 8 hours of sleep in. Which I need. Now I’ll repeat yesterday: gym first, work after. And be thankful for my sobriety. Have a good one all, or at least as good as you all can. Love from Amsterdam.

I find this community very helpful, thanks to you all!
Since my divorce, I sometimes ask myself why I’m still fighting addictions, besides my kids, you’re a good reminder that a clean life is the only way.

The only person who would say 1 day sober isn’t a big deal would be a non alcoholic or addict. For the rest of us it’s the most important day of our new lives.
Today I’m 13 months of day 1s, grateful for sobriety but not happy that I don’t get a 13 months coin, I’m only in it for the coins / chips…

Checking in day 6 really just feeling so grateful, more and more ppl keep messaging me for work, today I have someone coming with a tattoo to fix.
What they got and what I’m gonna do with it. And then can’t wait to spend the rest of the day with my beautiful girls. Mentally and physically I feel ok right now, I can’t wait to keep becoming the best version of myself

I hope everyone has a good day, I’m going to do mine sober

Checking in on day 73. A recent alcohol related death had me selfishly thinking how awesome I was to have 70 days sober and how that would NEVER be me. Now a recent OD death has me wanting to drink because drinking is legal and would never cause on overdose from a bad batch of xyz. I moved from drugs to alcohol after an arrest and time served because I knew if I followed the rules I would never be arrested for or die from being a drunk. In my recent CBT work, I’m learning it all starts w/ a thought that triggers a mood that makes my body feel a certain way and causes a behavior, regardless of the DOC. So for today I went to a meeting after work, came home and showered, did my Bible studies, came here and will now go to bed exhausted but sober.
