  1. 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…

Good morning friends, day 340! So happy to be done with that night! Had the worst drunk dream. It centered around some big drunken festival where I not only lost all of my clothes and had to just pick up some that were lying around, I was far from home, no wallet or phone, no shoes and just wandering… I was so relieved when I woke up. Still sober with my wallet, shoes, clothes and phone, etc…

Have an awesome day! I am going to do mine sober!

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

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.

  1. Good morning beautiful people! Today’s a great day to be sober! I’ve been extremely busy as you all know. Put the twinkies to bed last night at 7p and didn’t wake up until midnight :rofl: then went right back to sleep, guess I needed the sleep. I feel refreshed today or as my niece said Tt you look refresher :blush:! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I’m a recovering addict!
Today I am clean…

Second week of a raging infection in my ear…
Doctors actually saw me very rare thing, swab took inside of my ear, saw the doctor confirmed I still have an infection…
Ive started to panic… I don’t have any hearing bones in my right ear they were removed a few years ago… So I have a massive hole that tracks up to my brain from a tumour that was removed a few years ago…
I have always been warned if infection etc is not treated It can go two ways bacterial meningitis or a stroke. I am still waiting on an appointment from ENT… I was offered pain killers which again I declined and asked again for it to be put on my records… It kind of pisses me off how they push pain meds so quickly… Yes I’m in pain but I’d rather be in pain then put codeine in my body!

Caught up with everyone thoughts today…
All of us have life struggles and we are doing are best to get through the day…

keep going
life in recovery is a blessing im thankful for!

I’m glad the community has been helpful for you.

You are worth being clean for yourself. It’s making yourself a priority, and when you do, your kids benefit. Kids subconsciously absorb from their parents emotional patterns that come out in subconscious ways. When you value yourself, when you take care of yourself, when you put a lot of effort into being the best you can be, even when you don’t say anything about it, they take that in as their own values. As they grow, they’ll reflect those same things. You’re doing great. Keep it up.
