Day 441
Midterm exams and school festival means a couple of easy days/days off next week. In the past it was an excuse to drink, because I could. Now I plan to catch up with admin, go to the pool, read a novel I got from the library

303 days thats amazing 
Im day 27 today and feeling and carrying on strong.
Thank you all for supporting me in so many ways, even though you may not realise its positively powerful connecting here.
Didnt sleep to well, had a bad dream and just didn’t go back to sleep,
so iv made a 'if today feels like a rollercoaster ’ plan for today to keep strong.
Have a great day everyone.

Day 4! Feeling a bit better yesterday I felt awful but got to bed without a drink. Iv become really aware of the detox period even if you don’t drink huge amounts the strain we put on our bodies is crazy. Happy to be in healing mode. One day at a time.

I had a slip. Not a relapse. Im not back to drinking, but I can see it easy could have been. And I have definitely not thrown away all the days I have been sober, I have grown so much on them and they showed me how much better I feel and my life is with out alcohol, and the slip really showed me how quik I would be back on the rollercoaster of drinking, and that yes I am an alcholic that can not have one drink, not even one sip. Its really scary how fast you can fall back out, so fast! Im sitting here reflecting about my alcoholism, where I came from, how hard it was for me getting here, all the pain I had and all the anxiety, what my days looked like when I was drinking, that I never want to go back there, but how easily I can and that I have to live everyday knowing that I can fall, I have to work everyday for staying sober, EVERYDAY!

Heads up @Wakikki, stay strong and don’t let it mess with you too much… You’re still here with us and better knowing. There’s never an excuse or expectation to self-sabotage… The journey is the destination, so if you’re all good right now, then that’s ALL that ever matters my friend!!

- Coffee. Another late shift to go. Gym first. Off tomorrow. Sober and clean. Just for today. Autumn progresses slowly here. A bit like my progress in life. It’s OK. Have a good day all, or at least as good as you can friends. Love from Amsterdam.
@Wakikki Good realizations friend. It’s one day at a time for all of us. Let’s do this.

Its absolutely one day at a time. Yesterday I can do nothing about, tomorrow is tomorrows worries, today is what counts. I think this realization was good for me to keep going and staying sober, and to not forgett what I am working for.

How do I feel today…? I don’t really know. Day 6 and I have a lot on my mind. One thing I need to work on is my low self-esteem, as I can much too easily become unhealthily attached as a result of it. Since I’m already struggling with addiction and PTSD, other people’s actions or words can sometimes hit particularly hard, e.g. if a relationship doesn’t work out, or if someone does or says something hurtful, it shakes me up as if it’s the end of the world or I just can’t handle it. It’s all too easy to become dependent or attached when you feel insecure/vulnerable. I know it’s total bullshit to ever depend upon anything external to be happy… So how to manifest self-esteem? Exposure… That’s all it is. Exposure to experience, and to whatever it is you or I want. It’s possible, we can all do it folks!
